Portal 2 crashed on me 4 times tonight, and I have been having problems with newer games freezing up as well. Each time Portal 2 crashes (drops directly to desktop, no error message or anything), I have exactly 6 entries in Event Viewer under System from ati2mtag 'UVD Information' each time the game crashed. And it is only Information type, not an error.
Looking under ACEEventlog, there are also Information logs, but 17 entries per crash. Various entries include:
I've scoured google and can't seem to find any solution to this other than turning off the log reporting, but I really don't think that turning off logging is going to prevent crashing. Then again, the logs are only of Information type and not Error type.
Radeon 5850 w/ XP SP3 and Catalyst 10.1. I've been regularly upgrading my drivers and still having same problem. My card is quite new as I RMA'd the old one due to a failing fan. Of course never ran into this when I had Nvidia card installed, its getting annoying to the point where I just want to never touch an ATI card again, because they don't seem to be offering any kind of fix for it as I've been reading this has been going on for quite some time.
Has anyone encountered this issue before/ have any solutions? AMD forums seem to be of no help.
