Nagash Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 (edited) I recently took my computer apart to mod the case a little and install a new NB heatsink. Anyway, after I put it all back together every now and then my computer will tell me that my video card is no longer responding to driver commands so it has to switch to software rendering mode. The weird thing about this is that it only does it if I leave my computer idle, as long as I am on it and doing things it seems to work fine, but if I leave it for 10-15 minutes and come back it will have to switch to software mode. I have already tried installing the latest drivers, didn't seem to help. Any suggestions? *Grr, just noticed I have a typo in the title, and I can't seem to edit it. To avoid any confusion it is an ATI 9700 Pro, not Peo =D Edited May 25, 2005 by Nagash Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkScorpion Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 Reinstall the drivers using drivercleaner? I think its just a driver issue, but as to why it would act up now, I have no idea... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagash Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 I did use drivercleaner when reinstalling my drivers. Perhaps I will do it again shortly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzidom Posted May 25, 2005 Posted May 25, 2005 Uninstall your Ati drivers as mentioned but also reinstall your Mobo's agp driver if there is one, then reinstall your ATI ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
