I was getting lots of VPU recover errors and bad crashes after every 3-10 minutes of play that made me need to cut the power. I found a (bad) solution:
1. Install the latest catalyst drivers with control center
2. Download and install the Rage 3D tweak plugin from http://rage3d.com/r3dtweak/
3. Download and install ATI Tool from http://www.techpowerup.com/atitool/
4. Using Rage 3D underclock your card as low as it will go
5. Using ATI tool force your graphics card fan to run at 100% power all the time.
This needs to be done because the AGP speed cant be changed on a PCI-E card, and I can find no other solution despite trying every driver and setting.
This worked on my x700
