x800 Pro Crash Issue

Null D3v · 07-03-2006, 07:08 PM

I've recently noticed that while playing certain games that my x800 Pro will completly fail either forcing me back to the desktop with a Catalyst VPU recovery or forcing me to restart. I am currently investigating overheating, but just prior to the failure, the card was at about 59/42. Now this does happen on certain games only, as I have said. It seems to occur more frequently when the games are under higher graphical settings. For instance, I am able to run Half-Life 2 at high settings, yet Half-Life 2 Lost Coast at the same settings will cause one of these crashes. The program that causes these crashes most frequently would be World of Warcraft. Has anyone with a similar card experienced crashes such as these?

Motherboard: ECS Elitebus PF88
Graphics card: x800 Pro with Catalyst 6.14

Ok, well fixed it. I installed the Omega Drivers over the Catalyst and haven't had a problem since.
