Sapphire HD 3650

[Dumshell]

I have a problem with video card Sapphire HD 3650 512 MB GDDR3'M. Works perfectly for some time while playing any game and then suddenly freezes, closes the game and then gives the error: "This game has encountered an unexpected error." Then the catalyst control center throw the following message: "VPU recovered, restart the process. The graph is not responding to the orders of drivers." Anybody knows about this problem?

Might be the card has corrupted with some hardware issues. What is the system you are running for this? Compatibility can also be an issue.

Drivers can be volatile, with probably 8.7 or 8.9, or that the vga raising this temperature, revisable after play.

With regard to the driver of the card I have not tested with the more current that it brings is the version 8.1 and giving me this error, with 8.4 that are the most current I had at that time. I restart the computer. I had in mind that the card could overheat, passes of 54º C probe cleaning and changing the thermal paste fancooler but did not resolve the problem. Installed the most current drivers downloaded from the Web or ati amd to see how everything goes. Thanks for any suggestions.

54º is not high, it is well under. High would be around 90. Probably with the new drivers the problem would be solved.
