I'm really pretty sure it's the graphics card now the Radeon 9600. that is causing the crashes. Don't know how to go about fixing it though. the drivers are operating, but when I'm playing a game about 30 mins or so into it, it will crash and I get the critical error which is referencing to a Device Error or a VMU restart error.
Saying that the driver quit comunicating and restarted. Crashes the game. I've noticed it randomly just in Windows, but with games I can replicate the error repeatedly.

I'm honestly at loss at what to do. As I've tried returning the vid card to see if it was just the one, but I've gone through 3 so far to absolutely make sure as others have told me it's just a faulty card. And all 3 have had the same problem.

I don't want to go to Nvidia though instead.. but dont have enough money (in university) to buy a 256 mb ATI card. If that'd even change things

Try new drivers like omega.

Just tried that and still having the problem. I also tried returning it for an exchange and still getting the problem so I'm quite sure it's not the Card itself. But Its looking more and more like a driver or bios problem.

All the settings they told me to check on ATI's website I've set according and my BIOS is up-to-date. So I have no idea. Any suggestions?
