With the ATI Catalyst 8.1 or 8.5 installed, I was getting the error message
"Display driver atikmdag stopped responding and has successfully recovered"
error whilst playing games and Google earth, then blue screens appeared
eventually.

Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L
Intel Core 2 E8300 2.88Ghz
2G DDR2 800
ATI Radeon HD3690 256mb
1 Seagate 500G SATA II 7200 w/32mb
Samsung DVD-RW
Vista Ultimate SP1 32 bit


Anyone can help?
 
Yes use the Microsoft driver after you install the ATI one. It stops the
crashes and the BSOD
 
Hi Tony,

I tried to underclock the GPU frequency as mentioned in WarOfGenesis's
message, yet the problem persisted.A blue screen showed up again even when I
zoomed in Google Earth.

Can you tell me how to switch to Microsoft display driver?

Many thanks
Derek
 
Yes to install the MS drivers you need to select update driver then do
manual choose the MS driver from the list.
