My driver fails sometimes and from 32 bit colours it will go to 256 colours. it will unload the drivers. sometimes the pc will restart by itself
ther error message is
The ati2dvaa display driver has stopped working manually. Save you work and reboot the system to restore full display and functionality. The next time you reboot the machine a dialog will be displayed giving you a chance to upload data about this failure to Microsoft
It's well past it's prime so tell us about your yearly maintenance and if you did this -> http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-11319_7-6240575-1.html
You are also in the time period where the power supplies are aging and creating a source of reboots. I'd clean it up first and not look for a driver or software issue yet.

Yes my pc is very dirty and i live in a very humid region. does this have any impact on my computer. if so please can you advise me on how to stop this.
ill clean up my pc but i dont think its because of the power supply. whenever i open the tv application (ihave a capture and video card in one agp slot) it reboots pretty common.
I gave advice, you admitted the PC was dirty then moved on to dismiss that as the cause.
What would you do with my next advice?
Bob
