I occassionally get the BSOD (blue screen of death) because of ati2dvag.
I googled this, and is seems to be a much more common problem then anything
else I've ever looked up. One web site says "This is a universal problem
afflicting thousands of PCs worldwide" that Microsoft and ATI won't deal with

I've tried the recommendations repeatedly - uninstalling/reinstalling
the ATI drivers, and reinstalling the PCI standard PCI-to-PCI bridge. I
don't have have an AGP bridge listed in the device manager, which is another
thing they recommend you disable or reinstall (the motherboard's manual makes
no mention of AGP in the specs.)
The video component is on my motherboard. It's a Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H
with an AMD Athlon Dual Core 4850e 2.51Ghz with 2.5 GB RAM.
I'm considering getting a separate video card - one that has nothing ATI
on it (since the evidence is overwhelming that ATI doesn't care about
customers with this problem). I assume plugging in a different video card
will override the one on the motherboard. Is this correct? Can someone
recommend a video card?
I'm running Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, with Rollup 2. My TV
tuner card is a Pinnacle PCTV 800i PCI.
Thanks for any help.
BTW - if someone has a suggestion about the ati2dvag BSOD I'm all ears.
I've googled this extensively, and I'm not really expecting to hear something
new.
