video card stopped responding but recovered
Thats the error message i have gotten ever since this PC was new. It's a ATI or i guess now AMD HD5850. The screen will freeze for a second then go black. 3 seconds later it's back and i get that error message. I have tried various drivers and thats just not it. Case is well vented and it's not even hot, nor does it tend to happen when it IS hot when gaming for example. Can't imagine the contacts on the card in the PCI slot are contaminated at this point only about 3 months after i built it. It only happens maybe once a week. Any ideas what else could cause this?
