Video Hardware Crash
I have Windows Vista Home Premium SP2. When I use the screen saver Aurora
(and i think all screensavers) and leave the computer at night I come back to find it has been crashing and restrting all night. The screensaver comes on without error but at some stage while it's running I get a crash. My power settings are set too never turn off the computer and to never put it to sleep. I have no problems when the screen saver is set to blank. I have never been there to see it crash, it does it when the computer has been inactive for a long period of time. this problem was present with Vista SP1 and is not a SP2 issue. I have Catalyst Controll Center 9.1 and it's drivers installed. My device is an ATI Radeon X1300 PRO PCI Express x16 512MB DDR2.

Bag it. You're unlikely to ever get an issue like this resolved with Vista -
it's issues and problems are too essoteric and device specific. So, if you really have to use Aurora, wipe and install XP, or get a new PC. If the new one has Vista also, it's unlikely it will have the same issue, but it will have others. A friend of mine had a PC with Vista Premium (don't know what SP) that also did this, although I don't remember if it was for just 1 or 2 specific screen savers. Anyway, it crashed at exactly 4 hours and 13 minutes every time. After months of talking to (screaming at) the PC manufacturer (COMPAQ) and Microsoft, he finally disabled the screen saver and turned the monitor off instead. Where did you get a copy of Win7 beta? I'm looking at wiping my Vista and installing XP, but may try that if it's affordable. "goorambatman" wrote: I have Windows Vista Home Premium SP2.
