cappy Posted February 21, 2005 CID Share Posted February 21, 2005 I keep gettin this error and the comp keeps crashing i have a Radeon 9800 pro 128 MB video card 512 Mb ram soyo k7vme motherboard AMD XP 2700+ processor and heres the error... VPU recover has reset your graphics accelerator as it was no longer responding to graphic driver commands. emailed ATI's support twice, no help and other crashes it will just go blank on the screen, and get no signal... i just got new ram motherboard and a processor 4 weeks ago, before that the video card worked fine, but after i installed all that and windows xp pro it started doing that. And i have all the latest drivers for the video card and motherboard. It will crash anytime, but for some weird reason it crashes THE MOST when i am just browsing the web... not in games...

Swimmer Posted February 21, 2005 CID Share Posted February 21, 2005 there was a problem with the latest drivers.. update them again... that should take care of it.. if that doesnt work try the omega drivers site.. omegadrivers.net they offer a 3rd party driver that tends to be high in quality that what ATI offers.. more geared towards gaming..

cappy Posted February 21, 2005 Author CID Share Posted February 21, 2005 downloaded, uninstalled ati drivers and used the ones for ati from omegadrivers.net, and it still does it, maybe its the motherboard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted February 21, 2005 CID Share Posted February 21, 2005 might be a setting.. or a bad install of xp.. try doing a system restore,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive seen on other forums alot of ppl getting errors and bluescreen if they upgrade some hardware without reinstall windows XP i would do that, backup all you like to keep and make a full reformat and install XP again VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanBuren Posted February 21, 2005 CID Share Posted February 21, 2005 oh ok i had a similar problem myself, pc locked up only when surfing on web and sometimes it just shut off, i didnt get any error message, it was a damaged RAM stick VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stank_Ho Posted February 21, 2005 CID Share Posted February 21, 2005 Cappy, whats your power supply? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmer Posted February 21, 2005 CID Share Posted February 21, 2005 hmm very odd.. the system says driver error.. time to research driver errors.. does it give you a number or anything? Scank Ho.. one point for you! it is related to the power.. A few things to try.. disable fast write in your bios.. ATI doesnt support it.. Try running it on 4x instead of 8x if that is an option..

Stank_Ho Posted February 22, 2005 CID Share Posted February 22, 2005 ..thanks swinger! I was going to see if cappy has ability to test the video cards temp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted February 22, 2005 CID Share Posted February 22, 2005 haha you are welcome! there is also a 4 in 1 driver that is fairly new that might correct the problem.. also a bio flash might help.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappy Posted February 22, 2005 Author CID Share Posted February 22, 2005 just this, and sometimes it says the system could not recover or something, in a few mins it will come up again and ill see it and remember it and i have to reboot or it runs all crappy http://img201.exs.cx/img201/9532/screen018bs.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted February 22, 2005 CID Share Posted February 22, 2005 did you check the bios settings? This might warrent a call to ATI's tech support.. If you cant figure it out it means that you are running your card hot or there is something wrong.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stank_Ho Posted February 22, 2005 CID Share Posted February 22, 2005 Cappy, when did you get that mobo? Are the specs for the fsb 266/333 MHz ?? That doesn't sound right. What are you mobo specs.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
