Brand new computer and all new parts.

The computer ran well for about 1 hour, playing audio files with Fruity Loops and Audacity, then I recieved the error message: "VPU Recover has reset your graphics accelerator as it was no longer responding to graphics driver commands." And the computer crashes. The ATI device driver is shown to be working.

The temperature monitor shows CPU temperature 27 celcius and has varied at 27, 28, 29.

Biostar A780L3C motherboard,
AMD Athlon II X4 620e cPU, 780 MHZ,
3.25 GB RAM,
Western Digital Sata Drive 500GB.
600w diablotek pSU
Windows XP Pro 32 bit
ATI Radeon 3000 Graphics

any help would be great

Brand new computer? All new parts? With ATI 3000 graphics? Your missing something...better check your computer specs again. Use Speecy (free) to read your components > http://www.piriform.com/speccy/download

any ideas? could the Single-Channel DDR3 @ 666MHz be a problem?

I bought this barebones package from Tigerdirect.

Biostar motherboard page shows that the AMD Athlon™ II X4 x620e processor is not supported by this biostar motherboard. It states that the AMD Athlon™ II X4 x620 IS supported, but not the 620e.

Speccy shows that the RAM is a 4.00 GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 666MHz RAM! But the DIMM is a 1333MHz. The processor is probably giving a false reading.
