1148960 2010-10-30 22:27:00 Hi .

Recently I installed a new driver for my 5870 video card, and since then I've only had problems .

Loading videos on say, youtube, my computer will freeze for about 3-5 seconds, then come right - Sometimes .

Sometimes, both screens will completely black out, come back after a few seconds, and the webpage will be all "messed" up . Another few seconds and all is back to normal . Then a message will pop up from ATI saying "VPU Recover"

I thought it could have been overheating, but it's just sitting on around, 50c .

The driver I installed was 10 . 10 .

Is it just a simple case of a . . bad driver or something?

If you need more info just ask .

Thanks

1148963 2010-10-30 22:55:00 What is your PSU? It may not be supplying enough power to the card, or overloaded and supplying unclean power. Agent_24 (57)

Think you diagnosed that already . Roll it back to the earlier driver . 10 . 9 or whatever .

1148965 2010-10-30 23:37:00 10.9 and 10.10 also had hotfixes. 10.9 has 1. 10.10 has a 10.10c hotfix. Dont know if that'll fix it tho. When I had 10.9 and played bejeweled, I couldnt select the options because hw acceleration was enabled. It kept stuttering / freezing. The 10.9 hotfix fixed it (even tho it wasnt for these cards).

But then soon after 10.10 came out so I installed that (without the 10.10c hotfix). And its still fine

Guess I didn't see that bit about the problem only after an update..
