Hey, so I built a new computer:
CPU: i5-750
Motherboard: ASUS p7p55d deluxe
GPU: ASUS Radeon 5850
PSU: tx 750w
Memory: 2x2gb of Kingston HyperX 1600
So I booted it up for the first time, everything worked and installed windows 7 64bit fine. I installed the video drivers (the latest from the AMD website): 9.12 with the ccc(have also tried the drivers off the cd, and other versions).
Ran a game I had on my older hard drive. Ran fine at max graphics for about 5min, then screen went black and came back at the desktop with a VPU recovery error: The graphics driver has stopped responding and has recovered.
Then we restarted and while starting up the mouse moved very very choppy, and the same error popped up. So we immediately thought, ok the video card may be defective. So we swapped my 5850 for my brother's GTX 285. Now his i7-940, with an asus motherboard runs everything fine now with the 5850, games, 3D Mark Vantage. Everything seems to work with his computer. So then we start playing with mine with the GTX 285 in it. My computer also works fine now... Can play games, run the 3D Mark Vantage, everything. Been on for a day with no errors on either computer.
So does this rule out the video card? I don't know where to go from here.
Sorry for the long explanation.. But any help would be great.
Thanks
