[eltrex06]

[bim27142]

is that new? do you have the latest driver?

 

[eltrex06]

brand spanking new only out of its box 2 weeks at most.. and update on all drivers and everything

 

[bim27142]

hhhmmmm.... what could it be?..... did you have nvidia cards installed in your system before? other than this, im out of ideas...

 

[eltrex06]

[bim27142]

how do you encounter this error by the way? upon start up? upon playing games? random?

when im playing worldofwarcraft it slows down and then freezes... i alt tab out of the program to find this error message.. then i alt tab back into wow it seems to be working for like a couple mins then does the same thing again


just an updage.. i uninstalled my drivers and reinstalled thema nd it wokrs decent now.. but every so often my computer will still freeze when i am playing wow.. forceing me to reboot

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...
