View Full Version : Problems with 9600np AIW
Latley my 9600np AIW card started causing my games to crash using several different drivers, omega & ATI drivers and was wondering if my card was going bad and I keep getting an error that says The vpu has just recoved from a fatal error. I get the errors after playing games like Far Cry after about 5 min. I have copper ramsinks on the card as well a an 80mm case fan blowing on it. So I don't really know what could be going on with it. I have oc'ed the card in the past but was not when I was having these errors. Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian
I guess we should get the obvious questions out of the way first. ;) Is the rest of your system overclocked? Have you confirmed stability of the system memory via memtest86, or overall stability with Prime95? What are your system specs?
Yes I have run Prime95 on it all night with out problems and the ram is not over clocked. and I have run memtest86 on it before
