VPU recovery problem
Ok, I bought my computer 10 days ago, had win7, and had problems with sound, so i reinstall OS to XP Black. I've installed Borderlands, nice game, hehe, but, after severel minutes, there is a message on desktop that my VPU is recover, bla bla bla, graphic adapter stoped working, bla bla bla, and stuff. so I continue playing game, and after 10 or more seconds, there comes a message again :(. I reinstalled game, but no effect. That is probably a VGA problem (genius :) ), please somebody help me with solution. THX

I had the same problem (sorry for my English). Ive installed all the updates for XP, then i updated my drivers to top, but it doesn't work. BUT! I was installing drivers without ATI panel, only the driver. The last version of drivers on time of writing the post is 27/01/10 (catalyst 10.1 or something, dont remember)- installing this helped the video to run for an hour, copmparing to 4 minutes before using this drivers. After being stopped again(DAMN), i ve decided to slow down the clocking of card in ATI panel- originally it was 650-400 MHz, then ive made it 400-400 and black screen of death dissapeared for ages. I had very much troubles with this, so i hope it would help somebody. Dont feel any differience in games.
the only thing for thinking is the count of triubles with this card- like ATI_AMD cant create a stable hardware.
Try and install the latest graphic card drivers... u can find that on the ati web site... and install a fresh untouched copy of xp or vista or win 7... dont use a edited touched version
