Problem with Call of duty

[blownsix]

any time i play call of duty il get a VPU recover has reset your graphics accelerator as it was no longer responding to graphics driver commnads. what the hell is causing this every time i can play for about 10 min then it this happens. I have a 9600XT wiht the 3.9 catilyst OS is XP Pro wiht SP1

Sounds like you either overclocked your card too high and it's getting hot. Or, the HS isn't on that thing well enough and it's burning up.

I had this happen, then I looked again and found that my HS had popped off, lol.

Well i know its not overclocket but im not sure about the HS

I have that exact same problem with my 9800. But only when there is water in the game i have to run it in safe mode till the water part is over then it is fine.

Im havin no problems with COD with my 9800. Run the Catalyst 3.7 on optimal settings, and it will run fine

I'm having a similar problem too, it just randomly locks up, I'm using the beta 3.10's and i've got write combining off. I'm pretty sure my waterblock is still attached firmly, I don't know how it couldn't be. I still haven't finished COD because of this. :(

It sounds like you need to let ATI know about this.

Try Running the Catalyst 3.7 Drivers, AFTER REMOVING all traces of ATi drivers on your comp. That fixed my problem with Halo, and I am having no problems with COD right now. Im running 16x Ainso and AA with high framerates, no problems yet.

Also make sure your settings are set for optimal quality, ATi seems to be funny about only workin on High.

well my COD used to crash on me like that all the freaking time
i changed my sound to that 2d sound and it stoped yeat i have a sblive platnum but if it stops thats what ill leave it at

I had the exact same problem with COD. Also the Beyond Good and Evil demo would crash after starting, and the Max Payne 2 demo wouldn't start. Turns out I didn't have AGP Texture Acceleration enabled in DirectX. After running dxdiag, I realized the button was greyed out. I had to uninstall my Catalyst drivers, get updated mobo drivers and reinstall Catalyst. Solved the AGP Texture Acceleration problem, and now all three games work without a hitch. :D

There's an ATI patch out for COD. It's available here (http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/callofduty/downloads.html) if you're a Gamespot member. If not I'm sure the home site's got it for download.

Sorry for the thread resurrection...

Just started having this problem with CoD...(after 2+ months of having these drivers installed...)

Don't feel like driver swapping...so I found a place to download this patch, here's a link to the file off of ATI's site.
