9500pro crashes HELP!
Try this: http://www.omegacorner.com/ati_help.htm
At bottom of page he points out a problem & fix for Hercules cards Good luck... --- Franko "Archduke" wrote in message ... 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. |

I have the same problem. Exactly. Just started happening. I updated to
the new drivers. Within a day I started getting crashes regularly. Here is a cut and paste of the NT Event. The driver ati2dvag for the display device \Device\Video0 got stuck in an infinite loop. This usually indicates a problem with the device itself or with the device driver programming the hardware incorrectly. Please check with your hardware device vendor for any driver updates. I tried uninstalling and going back to the previous driver but it didn't solve the problem. A search on the net shows this problem being reported as far back as Nov 2002. I specifically built this system to be stable, as I am a software developer. And it has never crashed even 1 time in the 4 months that I have been using it until now. And the thing is - I'm not really doing anything. No games, no heavy stress on the card. Just typing into notepad or something. I went to www.ati.com but it says that after 30 days, support is paid only. Well the hell with them. If hardware device drivers are buggy and they're going to make me pay to help resolve the problem, I'll throw my 9500Pro into some test system and buy an NVIDIA card.
