Crashing Problem

[hoserb2000]

I've Been having a strange vCard crashing problem with my Radeon 9700, BBA. I put it in a difffent computer for a few weeks, had no problems there.

I took it out to put back in my computer, worked fine for a few days, then the problems came... Now, it crashes. It dosent seem to matter what i'm doing, I can play games for hours, no problem. Usualy, it happens when i've left it on for a few hours. I walk away, from the computer, and i come back to find all the power still on and fans running, but the monitor is black, and it's little power led flashing like when it's in standby.

The other time it crashes (this does not happen as much) is when i'l see strange colors flash on the screen, and then i'l get the "ATI VPU recovery" error message, asking me if i want to send a email.

I really don't think that the card is damaged. I have all the drivers ect. My specks are-

GA-7VAX(kt-400)
2500+@2.04ghz
R9700 (non pro)
420watt thermaltake purepower
WD 800 jb


Any ideas? Thanks a lot guys!

I can see that you're overclocking, and your problem sound's like a random freeze cause by overclocking.

Try put everything back to default speed.

hows your heat ??? try running with the side off the case & see if it still happens...

Trust me I know what I'm doing... ooops, grab the cat...

What? your Radeon doesnt work? How could this be?

PowerVR, the elegant, intelligent defered rendering solution.

Try running the card at AGP4x speed. Try setting AGP access in BIOS from UC to USWC or whatever it's called.

No, 500 post a day for 30 day's wouldn't catch you up.
