Model:
Gecube ATi Radeon X800 GTO DDR2 256MB
Driver:
latest version 6.11 with Catalyst(r)
My case study:
============
The card is about 10 months old.
I am having problem to play War3 TFT and DOW, DOW(WA), DOW(DC).
(i only have these 2 games installed in my desktop)
When im into the game about 5mins, the screen will be freezing for 20seconds and then my resolution on desktop will auto reseted back to 800x640, follow up by CATALYST by prompt me an error with the VPU recover and ask to submit report. (i clicked yes always)
After the report is sent, i return back to my game and continue to play.. but after i quit my game, i have to set my desktop resolution back to 1280x
if i did not restart my machine, i can continue to play the games without error for the whole day.
if i restart my machine. Open my game... i will get the same error, same report.. (like a must go thru process........)
A friend of mine recommend to use ATiTool 0.24 to test my card, and here is the result for the testing:
1. i used default setting
2. Scan artifacts
3. after 3mins, it started beeping and give me alot of errors. in the 3D box, it show some yellow lines and/or yellow boxes.
4. the error msg is like: delta <numbering> in <number> pixels bla bla...
5. the error will not stop and keep beeping..
6. i abort the scanning and wait for a while.
7. Catalyst(r) will prompt for ERROR about VPU and ask to submit report.
8. i just ignored it.
9. then i close ATitool 0.24
10. i re-open ATiTool 0.24
11. i scan artifacts again
12. now i dont have problem with artifacts.. i let it running for 30mins and there is no more error.
13. i close the program and run for 3rd time, 4th time, 5th time... no problem at all.
14. i open game.. and play.. all fine!!
**** ( remember, i did not restart my machine ) ********
now i restart my machine
15. restart my machine
16. open ATiT00l 0.24
17. scan artifacts
18. 3mins into the scanning.. OK.. error found... non stop beeping..........
19. i abort it..... and wait a while
20. CATALYST prompt for VPU error and ask to submit report....
21. i ignore it
22. i run again the Atitool 0.24 and do the scanning...
23. no more error....................
24. i open game and play... no PROBLEM!!
