ATI Radeon Problem.

Several times My Sapphire Atlantis 9800 Pro has suddenly stopped working (no
activity at the time). Symptoms are a blank screen, when I reboot it is
sometimes OK but sometimes says a video problem was encountered.
today on reboot the blue crash screen came up constantly saying it was stuck
in an infinite loop. The problem was with the file ati2dvag.dll.
I entered safe mode then deleted the two devices in the system hardware
panel, on reboot the system found and loaded the drivers and everything is
working OK again.
I am running the latest catalyst drivers, should I maybe try the Omega
drivers??.
I dont remember this happening when I first installed the card. Could it be
hardware problem with the card??

Freddie

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. To jump to the end
of the story, as a result of this I need a bone marrow transplant. Many
people around the world are waiting for a marrow transplant, too. Please
volunteer to be a marrow donor:

Well looks like I have it fixed. Seems the heatsink had worked loose and
wasnt making proper contact. After tightening up the screws all is working
again.
