ATI VPU recover problem..

Greetings,

I have a Radeon HD 4670 card, and when I try to play a specific game, I get an error message after a couple minutes saying "VPU Recover has reset your graphics accelerator as it was no longer responding to graphics driver commands." The game then proceeds to crash. This doesn't seem to happen to any other game or application I run. I have the latest ATI drivers installed, and have even heard it might be a problem pertaining to overheating. However, my card runs at around 45 degrees C. I also just cleaned out the whole PC hoping that would solve it... apparently the dust wasn't the issue.

My computer is a Core 2 Duo 1.86GHz with 2GB ram, a 400W PSU, and 2 Western Digital HDDs. I do have an nVidia nForce4 motherboard chipset however... is it possible that this conflicts with the ATI graphics card? I'm not a computer expert, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
