January 22, 200818 yr Hi guys I've just purchased and installed a new ATI Radeon 3850 (512MB) Graphics card. I've installed the latest drivers and upgraded my power to 550W. When playing FS9 in Vista I'm getting constant short crashes when panning around or putting any pressure on the system by way of large scenery items such as airports.The message reads "Display driver stopped responding & has recovered". I've read other posts relating to heat of the card or dust but as I say this is a new card in a very clean interior with what I would have thought would be enogh power. The card is also running within parameters regarding the GPU temperature around 60C.Any thought??
May 28, 200818 yr Did you ever resolve this? I got my first "APU Recover" message last night on a 3870X2 OC Edition with a 750 watt PS and everything I read on the subject basically says to just turn the VPU Recover Option off. This sounds risky. Smooth Skies! -- Chuck B.
