Hey, i have had problems with my old PC lately. The old gfx card on it started to die on me, the fan was not working correctly so i purcharsed a new card (sapphire radeon 9800pro atlantis)
I installed it and it seemed ok at first but then problems started to occure and the monitor screen would go blank and go to power save mode. I thought this was a PSU issue as i only had a 250W PSU so i just purchased a Antec 380W truepower.
I installed the PSU fine and it was all running fine but again the gfx card was causing problems. It does not like to load 3D applications and at random times the monitor likes to go into power save mode and i could not even load up a game as it would just freeze on the first screen.
I have had a couple of error messages saying: -
VPU recover has reset your graphics accelerator as it was no longer
responding to graphics drivers commands.
and
Warning : The currently used openGL driver does not support the required
extensions to run the 3D preview.
I tried new drivers but still same problem. Im not sure if its a faulty card myself now or anything else? Any help will be appreciated, thanks.
