Please log in for more thread options machine as a media PC mostly so it's connected to my TV. I'm currently driving my monitor at 1600x1050 and my TV at 1280x720. Over the last few months I've been getting VPU recover messages as well as my video display just dropping out (reboot required). Also I have bunch of different color pixel covering about 5% of my screen. It's not the monitor since it's brand new and they do change locations. All of these things indicate that my video card is dieing. I thought I would post here and check if there are any diagnostics that I can run. I have checked the video card and the fan does appear to be spinning and I don't believe it's overheating. Is it possible to query the temperature from the ATI tools? thanks. | |||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Rivatuner is a better utility - stable - error free. Works with ATI and Nvidia cards. Heat could be one cause - another could be inadequate power supply. So check your temps and the details of the PSU and report back. | |||||||||||||
