Hi when I play Call of Duty on my PC, the game crahses after a while ,claiming it has to do with soemthing called "VPU". I have a ATI RADEON 9800 PRO card. I generally have some problems with my sytem rebooting randomly.

I have a radeon 9600 Pro and it runs smooth with no problems If you are having random reboot errors I would first reinstall your ATI catalyst driver If the problem remains try running memtest 86 to test for bad memory as that is a common cause of randomly rebooting PC's Or it could be due to overheating Try memtest first =) ( runs in DOS ) http://www.memtest86.com/#download0 Good Luck

Peter - there are known issues relating ATI RAD cards and CoD but main probs seem to affect 9600 Pro (although 9800 Pro also mentioned). Have a look at the following - it will also give you additional links. http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/15152/ Hope it works out ok for you.
