I upgraded to a x1950 pro 512mb agp recently and also installed the latest drivers. I'm running XP pro. Twice since the change my system has shut down without notice and upon restart the second time I got the "system has recoverred from a fatal error" message. When I sent the error report Microsoft says that there was a problem with a driver but did not give any other info. I never got a BSOD and received no other errors to give me any more info.
maybe, have you tried watching the temperatures of the device? via ati tool/ati tray tools or some other thing even catalyst control center. It could have overheated. Check those first and then if they are fine then roll back the driver. What driver are you using? And are you overclocking etc?
Temps are fine. Never goes over 55c under load. Both times it happend I was on the web and running nothing else. System was under no load at all. Card is not oc'ed (yet).
is it a driver error for gfx? or something else? I used to have lan driver errors crash windows.
can you take a picture of the error or write down the error number?
