men?! i had the same problem just last nigth!!! exactly like "VPU recover has reset your graphics accelerator as it was no longer responding to graphics driver commands" .... i was playing max payne 2 then it freezes, got to windows and it showed that message...i'll try to bring this up to ATI...though im not sure yet, i think the cause is when a certain program runs in the background(i.e. virus scanner etc...) while playing a game...coz you see,my intel audio studio runs in the background and in the middle of the game the trial period expired thus causing a system glitch and eventually affected my gaming that's why it frozed for while...but when i run max payne again without intel audio studio in the background, things were running OK already... 🙂
