My problem is next:

Nonstop i receive a message from the ATI control panel (specifically from VPU recover) that my graphics accelerator has stopped responding.

What i have tried:

Removing my RAM's and (have 3) using only 1 at a time - DIDN'T WORK

Reinstalling Windows (XP) - DIDN'T WORK - tried it 2x

My PSU is strong enough - NOT THE PROBLEM - at least i don't think so

Took it to a computer repair shop (he said he fixed it) - DIDN'T WORK - same problem

Updated all possible drivers - tried driver only, tried with the control panel, tried Omega drivers, updated all Windows needed drivers (used software made for that specific purpose)

Tried powering the graphics card with 2 different cables that are needed to power it - DIDN'T WORK

The BIOS in the graphics card is probably ok (not an expert) - Sapphire started selling my graphics card with a faulty BIOS - checked it (a i said probably not an expert - probably not a problem as my BIOS and the wrong ones don't match).

SO PLEASE HELP ME!

If you need any more information please say.

P.S.: Could it be because it's GDDR5?
The only thing i didn't try, because i couldn't find the driver is for the PCI-to-PCI bridge driver (it's supposed to be included in the intel chipset drivers package, installed it - still Driver Checker said it's not installed.)

Thank you for any help given. :hello:
