Hi,
Need help finding the cause for a sudden issue with my 2-month old Asus 5870. Today, while in-game, it suddenly froze and then I crashed out to the desktop. I got one of those VPU recovery messages.
Now I can't play any games at all. COD4, MW2, L4D2, BFBC2, etc... every single game runs into the same problem. As soon as the card switches from 2D to 3D mode, I get a bunch of blocky pixel static floating around the intro screens. If I can get it going long enough to get into a game, the same thing happens, plus my framerate is atrocious -- think 3fps in COD4... Inevitably, I start looping VPU recovery message and/or the game freezes...
I've uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers. I've ran DXDIAG, which didn't point out any problems. I downloaded and ran the DX Websetup app, which applied a lone patch from Feb, but nothing more than that.
Looking for suggestions...
Intel i7 920
Asus P6T
Asus HD5870
OCZ GameXstream 700W PSU
Kingston HyperX 6GB 1600 Triple Channel
2x WD Caviar Black (640+500)
