Ok so ive recently got a new computer everything is new even the leads

It worked fine yesterday until i installed oblivion elder scrolls IV played it for abit then it crashed and came up with VPU Error and said my graphics accelerator was no longer responding to my drivers commands

so i reinstalled ATI Catalyst downloaded the drivers again but now whenever i do anything even try to load a webpage it comes up with the VPU Error or takes me to the Blue screen of death



here is a better view of whats happening

Any advice would be great

forgot to mention after the error i click don't send it offers to reboot my pc to change settings i click no and it becomes very choppy

Welcome to Geeks2Go!

If the problem persists, you might solve it by "rolling back" the driver if it's currently using the latest one. You do this in Device Manager by double-clicking the device and clicking the 'driver' tab. Sometimes new drivers contain bugs or cause problems which the previous driver didn't suffer from. It's not compulsory or even desirable to think you must always have the latest drivers installed -- and that applies to any device. Drivers should only be updated if they address a specific problem you're having. Your new driver seems to have had the opposite effect -- introducing a problem where none existed before.
