Here's my story, I own 9800XT with zalman heatsink installed. I played a lot of world of warcraft since last 2 friday. I kept getting blank screen issue with my video card lately. When I was playing my WoW for 30 min or longer, the screen went blank and the monitor led is blinking. I waited for a little like few min then the monitor went back on with normal window and i saw vpu recovery dialog on my screen. i clicked send report to ati bout this issue, but still i am gettin this issue if i am playin WoW for long time. However, I asked my friend to see if i can borrow his video card which is radeon 9500 pro vc so he allowed me to do so. I switched my 9800xt to 9500 pro and unistalled all drivers from my computer then restart to use driver cleaner to wipe out the remainin driver in there. Finally installed new driver from ati and restart again like usual. After all this crap, I tried to play WoW, same result, vpu recovery showed up and blank screen occur at that point, too. What's the problem with my VC? Is the driver hurting my card or is it WoW's bug and error?
