i play a computer game called TFC, its a half-life mod.
well lately when i alt tab out of the game to check AIM
or irc, my computer restarts. now theres a catch...it
doesn't restart every time i alt tab, i can alt tab out
maybe 3 or 4 times, but randomly it will restart. my
friend told me to use the BSOD (blue screen of death). so
i did, and the next time it happened the BSOD came up. it
said a bunch of stuff, but the main thing i noticed was
this: atidvag.dll - Address BF9BF650 base at BF9B7000,
DateStamp 3efa16db

I have a ATI Radeon 9700 128 gfx card, and i believe that
there is something wrong with a driver or something.

Please help, this has become quite an annoyance. thanks
 
Is the game compatible with XP? To find out how to find
out run Help and Support and search: compatibility

If it is compatible then go to the game manufacturere's
web site and see if they have drivers available. You
could also do this for your video card. There's also
Drivers.com
 
Hi, Matt.

Go to www.ati.com, click Drivers and Software, and follow the breadcrumbs to
find the latest WinXP drivers for your Radeon card.

Also, check the FAQs and other resources there for further advice.

And, for peer-to-peer support and tips from other users of ATI hardware,
