ok well today my computer has crashed about 20 times, mainly in wow. i get the vpu recover message as well, sometimes game crashes others whole pc.

Ive got A64 3200 @ 2.6ghz, Asus A8nSli Deluxe, 2 x 1gb PC4000 corsair ram, Connect 3d X1900XTX 512mb.

ive also got latest drivers for the ati site. Temps are fine, graphics card is water cooled, max was like 40 degrees on load with ati tool artifact scanning, cpu is about 40 as well. So its not temperatures.

I was wondering about psu, ive got an antec neopower 480w, accoridng to ati tool the gcard draws about 21a when on load, my psu is dual rail, 1 provides 18a i think, dunno bout other

after a short amount of googleing, it seems maybe its an issue with the latest driver. anyone else had this problem or knows how to fix ti

thanks
