I'm not sure if this is the correct place to put this, considering i'm
using XP64, but hopefully someone can help me. I've read up quite extensively on this very error. It appears a lot of people have gotten it. However, i haven't been able to find any actual solutions to it, only ways to sort of ignore the problem. I'm getting the error message at seemingly random times. The times when i've gotten it are: 1. Playing a demo of Tribes Vengeance that came with my video card, to test the card out. 2. After trying to install the 32 bit drivers for my mouse. 3. When clicking on various things in IE 4. When using MSN messenger This error seems to be happening more and more frequently. The error consists of the computer restarting itself, then coming up with one of those error report messages from XP. In the technical info that it displays, only two files are listed: C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER8b25.dir00\M ini122205-03.dmp C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER8b25.dir00\S ysdata.xml I've been working on this problem pretty much all day. I've found out that the problem seems to be stemming from my video card. I turned off automatic restart, so i started getting the BSOD whenever the error occured. I can get the info from that if any of you need it to know whats going on, but every time the same file was listed, among others: ati2dvag.dll I also turned off memory dump, and deleted all minidump files. I haven't deleted the sysdata.xml files yet, but i'm working on that. I also went into C:\WINDOWS\System32 and attempted to delete the ati2dvag.dll file. I was succesful in deleting it, but only for about 5 seconds. The file then simply reappeared. I need to get rid of this file i'm pretty sure, or else the error will keep occurring. The file description said that it was a windowsNT display driver for ATI Radeon cards, which doesn't sound too good, considering i'm using XP64. Other things i did: ran a memory test (various people on various forums said that the problem usually stems from memory) the test came out normal, no problems. As i said before, I looked extensively at other forums, microsoft problem listings or whatever (including http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;318023 which was pretty unhelpful). All i found were ways in which to IGNORE the problem, not SOLVE it. I have succesfully found out how to get rid of the error message, how to make my computer not restart, how to stop the memory dumps, etc. None of these are really helping me. The one other thing i did that makes me think this ati2dvag.dll file might not have a lot to do with it is I completely uninstalled all ATI software on my computer. I kept the computer on for a while (how long it would usually take to restart) and the computer did not restart. Sorry for the massive post. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. |
