Hi.
Recently bought a new XPS 8300 with the Radeon HD 6950 graphics card.
I have had nothing but trouble with it. The screen keeps freezing and then I get a message saying that the the card had crashed and has been succesfully recovered.
My event log shows the following.
"Display driver amdkmdap stopped responding and has successfully recovered."
I have looked into the problem and there are a huge number of things that it could be. I have tried all of the software related fixes (Tdr edits in the registry, new drivers, clean installs of drivers etc.) and nothing is working.
The next most common problem is an underrated power supply. I noticed that the 8300 comes with a 460 watt power supply.
The AMD pages for the Radeon 6950 state that is needs at least a 500w PSU.
Has anyone else had this issue and can someone please tell me that Dell have not sold me a PC with an underrated PSU for the supplied set up!!
Cheers :)
