When I play Supreme commander, after about an hour, it boots me off saying that there was a problem with Supcom, and it will tell me if it finds a solution. I have reason to believe its vista doing this. It sometimes happens with oblivion as well.

I have the X1950XT Sapphire Radeon card, and I've gone to ati.com but the 32-bit vista driver doesn't help. Where can I go to get the right software ect to get my games to stop this?

Thanks guys!

Is the system OC'ed at all?

No. =( do you think its the temp? I have an antec900 case, it has the monster 200 mm on top, a 80mm on the front, and 80mm on the back currently running on low.

Is there some driver I'm missing? And it now says that the video device R300 has failed and successfully rebooted.....Anyone?

Do you have another video card to test with?

[Ecto]

I don't =(

Does this only happen with those two games or with all other 3D games as well?

When exactly did this problem first occur? Initial Vista setup, new hardware addition, certain program installation/driver/update, etc.?

Are your components overheating at all?

You might attempt to run your games at lower settings or even run them in a diagnostic mode for the amount of time you think it would usually shutdown. You might even want to run your PC with the cover off and see what happens.

Its only while playing these games. It says "Video driver R300 has had an error and has recovered" or something very similar to that. I don't know if its overheating; and I don't want to download programs to check temps because I have tried 5+ and none of them were very useful.

I couldn't find the R300 anywhere on my computer, so I'm assuming its my video card.

I'll post it again:
