hey,
i recently buillt my comp in december, and increasingly i am having this problem, a message comes up after i freeze black " your graphics accelerator has been reset due to not responding to graphics driver commands ", it is such a headache and after paying so much money for a non-crappy system package i really want this to be fixed, it fails every restart , yes more frequent when i launch warcraft, i am running windows XP with service pack 2
specs =
Motherboard : Intel Desktop board D915GAG
Memory : 2 sticks pc2700 512 DDR - totaling 1022mb of RAM
Graphics card : ATI X300 series, 256mb card
Processor : pentium 4, 3.0 Ghz
Hard-drive(s) : 120 gig sata, secondary - 160 gig , both Western digital
450 watts power supply
running 2 harddrives, 2 fans, and CPU fan , also graphics card fan
...........................................................
i been around the block for solutions to this they all looked primitive to my set up, referring to windows 98 and all, i formatted 3 days ago, no help there either, i even installed software as careful and by book as i could, still problems from the start, then i saw this forum, gotta be someone who knows , btw on the intel install disc the media graphics accelerator " failed " its install, it seemed so odd, is that maybe to do with it?
.....more to add
i had 4.1 catalyst drivers, and last night i downloaded the 5.1 catalyst download from your forum, and it fixed the problem for a whole day, granted the comp was on the whole time, but i played 3, 40 mins warcraft games, that is much more than normal, ...but before i installed the driver update i had removed the 2nd Hard drive and unplugged the fans, once the drivers made it work smooth, i plugged just the fans back on... now its screwed up again, i looked at my levels there is nothing wrong power wise it tells me, plz someone help me, i will call the ppl i bought the parts from if i have to, but all they will say is bring it in, and i dont have an easy time carting a computer 20 mins away
thanks so much
