Ever since i reinstalled my os, my video cad has been giving me problems when playing 3d games like Half life 2, halo and even quake3. All of my drivers are up to date, but everytime i load a game it plays for about a minute or 2 before the game freezes and Vpu recover comes on. ive sent this to ati a number of times but they dont seem to be replying to anything. Ive tried everything on the settings, refresh rates, lower the quality, but nothing seems to be working. any suggestions????

Open the case and find out exactly what model number of mobo you have. The d/l the latest drivers for the mobo whether it be via, nforce, whatever.

It sounds like the gart driver is not installed and if the gart driver is not installed then the agp card will act like a pci card which means the graphics card will run at 1 x instead of 4 x or 8 times like it should be/:>

epox mobo EP-9NPAJ
amd 3700+ san diego core oc to 2.50
antec true power 430 watt dual +12 volt rails @ 18 amps each
bfg geforce 6800 gt oc edition
dragon case
2 x 512 DUAL CHANNEL ELIXOR RAM
Ibm P260 dvi & vga 21 inch crt monitor 1600 x 1200 @ 85 htz Oh yeah!!
