| Post subject: | Driver Problems. Help me sort this out. |
Okay, for the past.. 7 months I've been using this computer - and it seems just randomly my display driver decides to "break" and I get the evil blue screen telling me that windows has been shut down etc, etc. It's not spyware and it's not a virus, cause sometimes this happens right after a re-format! I want to fix it. And I have no clue where to begin. - Graphics Card = ATI Radeon X550 Driver = ati2dvag.dll - If you need any other information to help, don't hesitate to ask. |

1. I've always been an NVidia owner but ill try Have you tried completely removing your display drivers? (start<control panel<system<hardware<drive manager) Find you driver, right click, you can try to find updates for it. If no updates are found = uninstall it. (there is a button for install) *Make sure you have downloaded the latest driver from ATI FIRST, if you can't find them I will* Then reboot, and reinstall your drivers If you can get an exact message of BSOD then i can help more, I personally had this on my home built system (It was because the IRQ setting in my BIOS, two drives were fighting for the same #) |

How new is your driver? Heres a driver on driverguide, you'll need an account there of course though. http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=684048 |

Newest Display Driver installed. Restarted after installing the driver, windows loaded and a bunch of error boxes came up, a few seconds later - the blue screen came up with; IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Started again now, no error boxes aside from "The system has recovered from a serious error." Okay, after that, Andy told me to restart and go into the BIOS settings by pressing delete, and from there we figured out I have a more basic one than him. >.< - Old Driver was 2004, New driver is Feb 2007. |

If you're still getting the problem with the newer drivers, you could try using the Omega Drivers. I had BSOD with a the default drivers that came with my laptop, but I havent had any BSOD problems with the Omega Drivers so far. http://www.omegadrivers.net/ati/win2k_xp.php Just select a mirror and install them. You'll need to reboot. I sometimes get wierd lines appearing with them after hibernation, although if you shut your computer down instead of hibernate it, you should be fine. |

It may be worth me mentioning I'm using Windows XP ME, and not professional/home. Since the place I downloaded my newer driver from had seperate sections for each. Problem is, I don't know whether it's fixed or not until I get another message. :\ |

It's XP Media Center Edition, if I'm correct. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_XP_Media_Center_Edition |
