I noticed my folks computer was kinda slow today, I put 2g of ram into it (2.5 total now), and fixed a speaker problem. I built the computer myself in high school and it's a real good one. The graphix card has been acting up all day, even after I reinstalled the driver it has glitches and is very slow and kicks me out of programs with the following message:
VPU Recover has reset you graphics accelerator as it was no longer responding to graphics driver commands.
The card is a 9800 pro.
Is there anything else I can do to fix this?
If not what card should I buy? (I play games every now and then but would probably play more if they ran smothe and looked amazing)

Try:
1. Reinstalling the driver with all startups disabled. Run msconfig to disable startups.
2. Reseating the card on its slot. Clean the pins with the eraser tip of a pencil before reseating the card.
3. Test the card in another PC.
A good upgrade to that AGP card would be a 7600GT AGP or an ATI X1950 Pro AGP.

This happened to a card of mine. Are there video artifacts?(small odd colored patterns on the screen) If there is and you reinstalled the drivers then you most likely have a defective video card and will have to buy a new one if the one you have now isn't under warranty. This same problem happened with a x1950 when i built my computer.

Make sure the card is plugged in fully, and re-install the drivers. If that doesn't fix it, buy a new card.

have you ever as much as date your drivers for the cardboard? If no longer, bypass to the producer's website and seek for the latest motive force on your card. acquire it, installation it, carry on with the activates, and restart your laptop.
