    Recently got a His 2900 ---, I'm getting VPU recovery errors while on the desktop... not while in games.
    It happens fairly consistently, it doesn't seem that there is one thing that sets it off. One would think if it was the PSU it would happen while in games when the card is being stressed.

    C2D E4400 2.6ghz
    2GB OCZ Reaper HPC Reaper Edition
    Gigabyte P35-DS3L
    OCZ Stealth X Stream 600W PSU

    drivers,
    winblows,
    random hardware conflict(unlikely),
    PSU

    those are the only culprits I could think of.

    drivers = 7.9 Cats
    Windows = fresh install
    PSU = brand new ; and it is rated to support a 2900xt...

    Also don't think it is the PSU as it never happens while the card is 3D mode while under stress. Only getting corruption in 2D mode.
