This function seems to be on by default. (Cat. 4.4)
I can't run a damn thing reliably until I disable it.
Then all is OK.
WTF?

Disable it here out of habit. When it first came out lots of folk had probs
with it. The latest version might be OK? Shaun.

I have it disabled. For ages my system has had the "stuck thread" problem
(but only on cards newer than the 8500 series). Before the VPU recovery
feature, I always had the opportunity to save my work when the screen
reverted to 640x480. With VPU recovery enabled, the system always crashed
hard - no recovery, no opportunity to save. So, of course I disabled it.

I recently jumped from CAT 3.7 to 4.4 when I bought Far Cry, and also
flashed the latest BIOS to my motherboard, disabled VPU recovery and
Fastwrites as normal, and knock on wood but I haven't had a single problem
since the updates, and It's been a couple of weeks already.
