Basically no matter which CCC I use the card freezes, resets, generates a SmartSave@ati.com Error Report. Seems to happen more when Child Menu's overlap on Desktop or IE & etc. This issue is well written about on the Internet but Tech support at AMD/ATI has no answer so I hoping BIG time that someone here will have a solution for me. I don't want to just use the graphic driver as some suggest as a fix but the whole CCC package. The card is great outside of this issue but it's a real pain to have the card reset so many times a day. Don't want to go to the Green Side ------------------------- CPU: Intel Duo Core 3.0GHZ MOBO: ASUS P5LD2 S775 I945P RAM: 2GB DDR2 533MHz PC4200 GPU: ATI Radeon X800 PCI-EX Version 6.14 256MB OS: MS XP Home Edition SP3 Video Driver Version: 8.522 Catalyst Verions: 8.8 Monitors: 2X NEC LCD72V @ 1280x1024

Just because that warning message is in the event viewer doesnt mean its the cause of the issue. Your problem is more likely faulty hardware. ------------------------- Game.AMD Administrator

The issue occurs when there is a child window which causes the card to reset & generate the error report. Hence I can only conclude it's the graphic card. Also, sometimes there was an infinite loop but the card seems better w/ 8.8 but it still resets about 4x a day. As I said there is alot of discussion out there & Tech Support can't seem to pin things down See as an example - http://www.driverheaven.net/windows-xp-2k-radeon-display-drivers/155691-ati2mtag-crt-invalid-display-type.html Appreciate your help, Cheers, ------------------------- CPU: Intel Duo Core 3.0GHZ MOBO: ASUS P5LD2 S775 I945P RAM: 2GB DDR2 533MHz PC4200 GPU: ATI Radeon X800 PCI-EX Version 6.14 256MB OS: MS XP Home Edition SP3 Video Driver Version: 8.522 Catalyst Verions: 8.8 Monitors: 2X NEC LCD72V @ 1280x1024 Edited: 08/29/2008 at 12:36 PM by peelman
