i wonder if anyone else has had a problem with the x800 series randomly having the vpu recover have to be activated. it only started recently, and now about once every five minutes when i'm web browsing, it has to be activated to keep me from resetting my system. i've had that happen a couple of times anyway, and microsoft reports that the device driver for the x800 pro stopped responding. i can't submit an error report to ati because they want to use an email client like outlook instead of giving me the option of using something else (like gmail). i tried the drivers that came with the card, the 4.9's, and now the newest ones.

oh, and it has never ever had to be activated in a 3d game, only when web browsing and the like.
