He needs at least 1GB of ram and an agp 8x or pci-e graphics card, with a compatible motherboard.

Re: VPU Recovery problem

yep i dont think that card is compatible with the game. Aslo, the game needs atleast 1GB to run smoothly. PS i see there's too many programs running in the background. Use this windows tweak guide to send u in the right direction.

Re: VPU Recovery problem

I had the exact same with my old 9800, I originally thought it was a temperature problem, gave up and went nVidia, never looked back.

Re: VPU Recovery problem

Tried disabling VPU recover in catalyst control center? It's worth a shot, but I wouldn't expect much. That was a low end card three years ago; there's no way you're going to enjoy playing BF2 with it today.
