My uncles trying to install a driver for the Radeon X700 SE but keeps getting an unknown device in Device Manager. The unknown device isnt there until he installs the driver. We've tried numerous drivers, including the Omega without much luck. Whenever he tries to play a game, the game loads, but freezes & then comes up with an error saying VPU Recover had to reset the gfx card & it crashes & changes the resolution. Anyone with any info on how to get rid of this & a link to a driver that works ? Cheers =/
The card is in a slot: HERE Top row, middle card. We have also tried another card, the x850 but keep getting the vpu recover error. Here is the make/model of pc from siw: Product: Scaleo P P320 1 1,0G Identification number: YSSP951896
i'm going by the picture but does that card need extra power as in a power connector from the power supply? what driver are you using now & when installing the x700 & x850 driver,are you uninstalling the previous driver from add/remove programs? driver link http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownlo...px?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.18&lang=English
Yeah it uses a power connector from the power supply. The last driver we tried was an Omega driver & we uninstalled all ATI files from the computer & add/remove before installing. Tried a few from the ATI site as well. Also tried a complete reinstall of Windows without much luck.
i presume the complete reinstall of windows was a fresh install & not reload on top of self? if fresh install & the fact having problem with 2 different ati cards then either a motherboard problem or hardware incompatibility between motherboard & videocards. have you tried another power connector from the psu? does the 850 need extra power too?
Just noticed the x700se doesnt use a power connector & takes the power from the board. This was the card that came with the pc from Fujitsu Siemens: HERE. The x850 does need a power connector.

Just a wild guess here. Is the unknown device in device manager under display adapters or under another section?
It was about 2/3rds down device manager & was called unknown devices. There was no unknown devices until the driver was installed. Cheers
Does the device driver for the video card install correctly under Display drivers? What, if anything, is installed under "display devices"? Sorry if this has been asked/answered somewhere else. I don't see it answered in the thread.
