Does anyone here have a x800? I am having problems while gaming, it doesn't matter the game after a while the game will freeze for a minute, and then it will either A. close the game and tell me the VPU crashed, or B. re-image the game and i can continue playing (depending on the game)...then when i exit the game i have the error sitting there telling me that the VPU recovered itself...I know it is not heat due to the fact that i have a Thermaltake case and have 5 fans in it, the x800 is fanless it has the tubes and big heatsink, and i can pull off the side of the case and touch the video card and not even feel any heat...this is on a fresh load of windows, loaded about a week ago, the latest driver from ATI...I checked out a few websites/forumns, a lot of people either A. RMA'd there card, a couple updated drivers, and one talked about a mutex, but i dont think that is my issue...anyone else seen this and have a fix or suggestion? Much appreciated Josh yup!

Perhaps it's overheating. Only thing that would cause that error. Did you oc the card or the manufacturer already oc it. ASPIRE ATXB4KLW-AL Antec 400W ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe AMD 3700+ San Diego Corsair 1GB 2x512 eVGA 6600GT 250GB Hard Drive Sound Blaster Audigy Windows XP HOME W/SP2

Disable VPU Recover in the ATI drivers. "Republicans in Congress are moving to ratify a constitutional amendment to ban flag burning, thus ending the Iraq insurgency."

I think the mutex thing you're referring to is the molex connector which feeds power direct to the video card, rather than through the AGP port. Is it connected?

if i disable then the machine freezes completely...its not heat, i can pull off the side of the can and touch the heatsink and it is cool there is no molex, it is running on PCIX i just said screw it, i am RMA'n the card and getting the BFG OC'd NVidia7800GTX SLI, then i will get another one in about 6 months and run it SLI :D thanx for taking the time to post tho!
