Hi NG,

I got a problem with my video-adapter, a Radeon 9500pro by Hercules. I
bought this great piece of hardware approximately 6 months ago and all
ran fine until the beginning of last week: EVERY morning at first boot
a freeze or a complete crash. WinXP reported an error with
ATI2DVAG.dll, but nothing of an infinite loop... When I try a reboot
everything works well, even with 10 or more reboots during the day, but
when I start the PC next morning guess what happens: CRASH again.

My system:
P4 1.6 a @ 2,56, FSB 160
ASUS P4B533-E
ATI / HERCULES Radeon 9500pro non o.ced
768 MB DDR-RAM PC 2700 Samsung (2 sticks)
WinXP home, SP1, Catalyst 3.1 but tried Hercules Catalyst3.4, no
improvement.

Could be bad caps on the motherboard, check out this page

It could also be the power supply going bad.
