VPU Crashing!

[bjornserkr]

I am so frustrated - I have tried playing Everquest 2, Eve Online, and Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends, and all have crashed after a few minutes of playing! The screen will go black, the sound will sometime persist, and I have to completely shut down the macbook pro. One game, Rise of Nations, will actually stay up after a VPU reset by the ATI card, but crashes will continue.

Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? I've reinstalled bootcamp and XP twice, and the problem continues. I got the same results after trying the Omega drivers.

I have a 17" Macbook Pro, 2ghz RAM, 256mb ATI x1600.

Thanks in advance!! I just want to game! :)

Did you overclock your card at all?

Nope, not at all. At one point, I tried to play with ATI Tools, but without any luck I deleted the partition, and re-created it with Boot Camp.
