ATI Radeon X600pro

Hi

I've been having problems with my video card recently; there's a problem where the screen freezes up, then the screen goes black. Shortly after, the screen comes on again and a window pops up saying:

"VPU Recover has reset your graphics accelerator as it was no longer responding to graphics driver commands. Pls tell ATI technologies about this".

I've google'd on this problem, and I've tried clearing my drivers with Drive Cleaner Pro, then reinstalling the ATI drivers and ATI Catalyst. I've also tried to install the Omega Driver. None of these worked, sadly.

I've also tried turning off VPU recover in ATI Catalyst.

I'm pretty sure heat isn't the problem here, because the card doesn't feel hot physically.



Another question... How do you reduce AGP to 4x? (detailed explanation needed)


Thanks in advance

The temperature of the GPU can change for 20°C in few seconds, so the only way how to check it is to touch the fan while the computer is running at high load. If your card is overclocked, try to decrease the clock. Check the fan, if the bearing is OK.
AGP can be reduced using bios or Catalyst Control Center (it is called Smart Gart I think, this option is also in the Catalyst Control Panel).

Where do you download SmartGart? My ATI Catalyst Control version 6.3 doesn't seem to have that option..
