What drivers are you running? Install the latest and that may fix it. If not post back.

[ThefT]

Yeah , I just downloaded one from the ATI website. Catalyst 6.5 Windows XP - Driver Download , might want to double check for me :) not very good with drivers. Thanks.

Unauthorized download? also it is an old graphics card , 9600 pro all in wonder..could be wearing out?

[lil_jimmy_norton]

Bah, Ati is being stupid and not letting me link from the page. The Catylist drivers is what you need.

Off Topic: How can you stand your desktop at 800x600?

I had that Problem with an unsupported vid card, changed the card, no more "VPU Recovery"
check that your card is supported, if not, might pay to buy a cheap new card.......

I tried all the new drivers, Omega, bla bla, the only way i fixed is above^^:D

[ThefT]

Catalyst Control Center Package , right? It is supported because 1) it says so , 2) ive been playing bf2 since Feb with it.

It is supported. The supported video card list is useless anyway.

Catalyst Control Center Package , right?


Yes, that is it.

[ThefT]

Installing....post back in a few minutes.

[mofo.au]

Well goodluck with that!!

[ThefT]

thanks :) , also could it be cause i dont have the patch? Well restarting.

[lil_jimmy_norton]

It's doubtful the patch would have anything to do with it.

[ThefT]

Nope :( , I was choosing my weapon and bam! My screen goes black but I can still hear eveyone talking and eveything...hm..well im reinstalling windows in a few days..ill see if that helps at all. If not I am building that new system anywhoo. Thanks for all the help guys.

Seems you have ati card. You have to disable VPU recoveri in driver control panel. IT will pop up if ur card is running hot. In some cases it even resets all system.

[sirshaw]

VPU recover errors are generated by the video card saying it had a major problem and the card actually crashed. what vpu recover does it restarts your video card so you can stay in windows without having to reboot your entire computer. Its really not a good thing to turn it off, especially if your having problems.

Check your IRQ's , make sure they are not sharing with anything. Also did this problem just all of a sudden start happening or after you installed something?

Get a ATI Driver Cleaner and remove all ATI software from your computer. What might have happened is there still could be old driver files laying around from a previous install thus borking your current driver installation.

Just some ideas, try that and see if that works :)

What rez are you running in-game? It is it larger than the rez of your desktop? Your desktop rez is supposed to be the same or larger than your in-game rez.

I HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM!
I also have a 9600 but it's a 9600 XT.
I also have the VPU Recover Problem. Whenever I am playin the monitor shuts on and off like every 5 seconds and i have to alt tab out. When I exit to the desktop, the resolution is the same as what i had ingame. When I don't have VPU Recover ticked it just freezes ingame and i have to restart my whole computer. THIS SUX!!

Submit support a ticket to ATI, they should be able to send you a new card.

[baroque]

overheated maybe? i got the same when my card nearly was burning

[otwmagneto]
