Radeon 9800 Pro Issues

Hey all,

Recently, I have been getting all sorts of graphic glitches with my computer. I will be playing any game, like WoW or NWN, and it will randomly lock up and boot me to desktop, giving me a message that "VPU recover has just saved you from a computer lockup because of driver failure" or something to that effect.

Now, I formatted my computer yesterday in an attempt to fix this problem, and it is still happening. I am using the latest ATI official drivers, and I'm on a clean HD. I am just wondering if anyone knows of any diagnostic programs I can run that will check my graphic card's physical working ablility. I was looking for a while on a couple sites, but I couldn't find any programs that test your VPU or anything like that, or if anyone has any other suggestions as to what it might be, that would be great too

Thanks in advance

Oh, I also forgot to mention that I am running the latest Catalyst drivers from the official ATI page, plus the latest DirectX (9.0c). I am on a clean HD, so those ATI drivers are the only ones running, so there are no conflicting drivers on my system that could give me a problem.

Thanks
