Well anytime i try to run a game the following message always gets displayed after about 10 mins of playing:

"VPU recover has reset your graphics accelerator as it was no longer responding to graphics driver commands" "please tell ATI about this problem" etc.

I dont know what could be wrong as im sure i have the up to date drivers and all.

Any help would be appreciated.
 
Download and install directx 9.0c check ati, download newest catalyst drivers, install those, post your results!
 
which drivers were you using? try rolling back to cat 4.7 and let us know how it goes!

VPU Recover said:
VPU RECOVER significantly reduces the number of system crashes caused by graphics hardware hangs. If the display driver detects that the graphics processor has hung, VPU Recover will attempt to reset the graphics processor, eliminating the need for a system reboot and allowing users to continue using their computer without interrupting or losing their work.

ive tried every driver and nothing seems to work i have no idea what could be causing the probs, and no im not overclocking or anything. It looks like i need to buy a new graphics card. :S

Thnx for the suggestions though.

Have you tried turning off the VPU Recovery feature of your drivers? Some cards tend to falsly trigger a VPU recovery, even though the card has not crashed. Try that, and if your system actually crashes after 10 minutes of play, we can go from there.
 
In that case, it could be due to one or more of several possibilities:

a) Your video/chipset/sound drivers are not configured properly?
b) A DirectX DLL is broken -- Reinstall DX9.0c?
c) DLL Hell -- Conflicting DLLs due to previous install of video drivers?
d) System overheat -- what is the ambient chassis temperature?
e) Dirty power / low power rails -- is your PSU adequate? What are your power rails reported to be in BIOS?
f) Northbridge overheat -- is the NB actively or passively cooled? If active, is the fan still working?
g) Video card overheat -- insufficient cooling?
h) Windows is unstable -- more so than usual?
i) Bad RAM -- have you run Memtest86?
j) Bad video card -- does the card work OK in another system?
