Problem Description: Ever since I've gotten my new mobo and system basically (vid card, mobo, ram, cpu), I haven't been able to play any games. Now, this seems incredibly strange for a video card that can easily handle any game. However, when playing games, my computer crashes. For example, when playing COD2, the game freezes at the same point every time in one level, and then I get a VPU error, then if I continue to play, the screen will scramble, and everything will freeze until I restart. Then I get a "serious error report" from Microsoft. The message says someting about a problem with a "device driver." Also, here's the report from the VPU Recover error:
Now, to me, this meant my drivers were out of whack. So I updated, and updated again, and rolled back. I got Catalyst, removed it, and so forth - to no avail. Also, LucasArts said the prob was with my soundcard since there was an IRQ conflict between it and my vidcard so I moved the card down to another slot and the IRQ conflict is now gone. Battlefront II still crashes constantly, though. As for the symptons of other games, what happens is this. With Knights of the Old Republic and Hitman, when I begin gameplay (that is, the loading screen and setup screens are fine), I get a crash with no error report. When playing Rome: Total War on high settings, I get black screens plus weird noises during battles. However, on low settings, it seemed to work just fine. I really don't think a $160 card such as the X800, though, should be playing games on low settings though...plus, the game played smoothly on my previous system with an ASUS mobo and PowerColor Radeon 9600 vid card. Next, final problem I've noted is with Halo, in which the game randomly crashes during online play, but I haven't played single player to see what happens. This problem has persisted for months and I've been deprived of having any gaming fun because of it. Please, provide some help, it would be greatly appreciated to alleviate this problem so I do *not* need to dish out another 200 quid to purchase an nvidia card to replace this one.

| Did you try running the games without your sound card even physically in the system? | |||
