I am guessing that this is a problem that only occurs on 9200 and 9600 cards, because I never hear people about the same problem with other ATI/Radeon cards.

Have you properly installed the drivers?

What if you disable the VPU Recover?

have a check at the power settings....it should be set to If  I turn off  my VPU recovery the only  diffrence that it makes is that I have to restart more often.

I have all power settings on never.

errrr, I just found this out, might not be the problem.   I go to adapter in my catylist setup up thingy,  and when I look at it it says that the driver is not working problem blah blah blah.   But it also says that its running on my 9200   but everything else says its running the 9600,  so maybe if I fix this itll fix the main problem.   So does anybody know a way to fix this problem?Uninstall the drivers. Use a program such as Driver Cleaner and reinstall the latest updated drivers.I had that problem too.  The problem was that the box was not big enough and the power supply was right next to the cpu chip.  The chip could not get cold enough and kept going into thermal cutoff.  Buy a bigger box.
