Hardware crashes may occur when a hardware device and the
corresponding software device driver are no longer able to communicate
with each other. VPU Recover enables the ATI display driver to detect
when the graphics card is no longer able to respond to display driver
commands. When this situation arises, the display driver will reset the
graphics card. Depending on the current state of the system when VPU
Recover is activated, applications that are running may be able to fully
recover from this reset. In other cases, running applications may be closed,
and the user will be returned to the Windows® desktop.
