wow I'm so regretting that I went with an ATI card instead of nVidia....
my nvidia GF3 served me so well for 3-4 years.. then I upgraded to ati 9800 pro - and I'm getting extremely annoyed with it.
the biggest problem is the "VPU recover" thingy - I don't what it is or what it does - I do know, that after I have been playing Quake 3 for a while, it suddenly halts, repeating the same sound sample over and over - after about 10 seconds I can press ctrl+alt+del, which tabs over to windows, and I can see that "VPU recover" has stopped my video card! then I press OK or whatever, and I can return to playing Q3. It always happens just once, I've never had it happen more times.
This time it didn't just make me miss a minute of my game though, this time VPU recover crashed it completely, and then crashed my pc right after.
HOW do I disable it? I hate it so much. My cpu isn't overclocked, my video card isn't overclocked - I have taken off the sides of my computer case, so airflow is not a problem either.
Help :-(
