i was having an issue with my videocard reseting while playing games and i would get the "driver has failed and has recovered etc" error in my log, first i replaced the powersupply with something better and that didnt fix it then i replaced the card itself and that did fix it.
heres the thing though i gave the card to a buddy of mine and he isnt having any problems, so my question is if it works fine on his computer but not on mine what does that mean? will post my system specs and my new and previous card. this is not really a big deal since it is now fixed but i am curious as to why this card works and the other one didnt...
my old card was a HIS ati 5670 1g
