    so i got a new board today
    Msi Kt6 Delta Series Fisr
    XP 2600+
    512mb ddr 333 2.5cls

    fresh install of XP SP 1a
    latest chipset drivers for the board
    latest gfx drivers for the card (also tried omega drivers)

    and i keep getting the following error

    "VPU Recover has reset your graphics accelerator as it was no longer responding to graphics driver commands"

    "hardware deadlock -- switched to software rendering"

    this seems to happen more often when using OpenGL in games like unreal

    ran 3DMark03 and on the second test i also get this and it fails..

    any ideas ?
