I recently bought myself a new video card (ATI Radeon X850 Pro AGP) and have had problems playing Battlefield2 or World of Warcraft. With BF2 the game would run for about 15-20 mins then the screen goes blank (sound keeps going, sometimes reapeats) and after about 30seconds i get back to my desktop with the colors all funky and very low resolution and an error message saying 1 of 2 things. Either "VPU Recover has reset your graphics accelerator as it was no longer responding to graphics driver commands." or "The ati2dvag display driver has stopped working normally." With Warcraft, the same exact thing happens except it only seems to happen while in and instance.
I have done all I know to fix this myself and I am fairly knowledgeable with computers, but nothing seems to work. I have read through threads of others with this problem but none of their solutions work for me either.
First I tried to get ATI tech to help me but they are useless.
I have updated ATI Drivers, my chipset drivers, I've used driver cleaner to delete all ATI drivers then downloaded ATI omega drivers. Checked my powersupply to make sure it has enough power, played with my case open to try and keep it cooler. Tried playing it as 4x instead of 8x, looked through all bios settings about my vid card.
If anyone has any suggestions or solutions I would gladly try anything I am at the end of my rope and about to snap a $250 vid card in half (not really).
