Hi!
First, my system specs-
AMD Athlon XP 1.7 Ghz
512 MB Ram
40 GB Seagate Barracuda Hard-Disk
Club 3d ATI Radeon 9600 128 MB (Running Catalyst 4.4 drivers, not overclocked)
Windows XP Professional
DirectX 9.0b
Until day before yesterday, my card was running perfectly fine, no problems at all
Then yesterday, while i was working on Paint Shop Pro, the system gave an error, and said that VPU Recover has reset the gfx accelerator, as it was not responding to commands from the display driver
Then, when I started a game, I got the same error message and I crashed to the desktop.Now, this happens with each and every 3d application.I tried sending an error report to ATI, but have not got any reply yet. I tried uninstalling the display driver, and installing the original ones in the CD, but the problem continues
Then i ran DXDiag, and tested the card in DirectDraw and Direct3D interfaces
The DDraw tests were successful, but in the D3D tests, for all 3 tests(DX7,DX8,DX9), it said i cancelled the test by pressing a key(obviously, i hadn't pressed anything)
This problem is driving me crazy
I don't think this is an overheating problem, as the card was working pefectly until now, and it gave out just suddenly
Please help me, guys
