Dear Laptop...

[dagronrat]

Dear Laptop,
More specifically, dear mysterious graphics driver/pilot "ati2dvag",

Please could you stop failing every single time I turn laptop on?
I'm fed up of opening my email inbox only to end up staring at a Blue Screen of Death, or worse, the windows "no graphics, no fail" mode.

Once in a while, when the laptop has been on for ages and isn't in a position where it should have no trouble cooling? Okay... That's how you started.
But Now
things is just getting ridiculous.

Yours sincerely, and earnestly starting to look into -fixing- you,

The User.

Try updating the driver, or asking someone to update it for you. If that doesn't work...new graphics card, or new comp, probably. What OS...er, version of Windows/Mac?

Tried updating the driver, and it couldn't find anything.

I've done some Google-fuu siince though, and hope to have found the appropriate response for the driver problem. :D

OS: Windows XP. Seems to be mostly an issue with the Laptop manufacturer thingymagig though...

Nice icon btw! :D

A quick google reveals the answer to the ati2dvag problem, however there's apparently no sure-fire way to take care of it.

But it looks like re-installing or updating the driver should take care of it. #^^#

Cheers Icka!

I've tried the Driver update route, which came to nothing since it could not find any driver to update to... But I did find a forum thread that also had the same specifications as my laptop mentioned and followed the advice there. Problem hasn't turned up since, so hopefully it's "fixed" for the time being. :D

ARRRRGGGG!!!! That sounds like mine!! Once every couple days, mine likes to give me the Blue Screen Error in which it completely crashes. And after the first crash, it keeps failing.... until the next day.

It's like my laptop also has PMS. But every other day.

AGH, sounds so irritating! D:

I think a google search and a mess around might be worth it. My laptop is so amazingly better now. :cO

Hope it gets better!
