Hello all,
Recently I installed an Asus P4S800D-E Deluxe with a P4
3.0E (hyper-threaded). Since that time, my ATI All-In-
Wonder 7500 video card has been malfunctioning. Three or
more times per Windows session, the screen goes black,
then comes back garbled, then goes black again, and
finally comes back to normal. It then displays a message
stating that "VPU Recover has reset your graphics
accelerator as it was no longer responding to graphics
driver commands." After three to five of these instances,
the garbled screen will come back twice in a row, then
when it returns to normal, I get the above error, along
with one telling me that it was unable to reset hardware
rendering, and has switched to software rendering mode,
and that it will only change back after the computer is
restarted.
The error occurs when a window is scrolled. It could be
any window at all, it doesn't seem to be picky. In the
course of writing this message, the act of advancing the
text to the next line caused the error. From time to
time, the error will actually lock the entire computer up,
and either freeze completely or dump me into a stop
error. I don't always get an message from Windows when I
restart, but when I do, it always has something to do with
a video driver. I remember once that the drawing engine
stopped responding, and once that it got stuck in an
infinite loop.
I've contacted ATI by email twice about the matter, but
have yet to receive a response. I have no way of calling
them, as the only number they provide is Canadian. In my
searches of the ATI website, I noticed that there had been
an issue with the TV tuner on their cards and hyper-
threaded processors, but this seemed only to cause trouble
when the TV tuner was being used.
I've updated all the drivers for my video card and
motherboard, have used Windows Update to download all of
Microsoft's patches, and have searched both sites for
issues similar to mine, but to no avail.
I am desperate for a solution to my problems!
