ATI drivers are causing Windows XP crashes. I have x850XT AGP video card and Windows XP SP2 Professional. Almost every five minutes Windows crashes telling me that crash was caused by ati2dvag.dll. I have tried different driver versions from ATI as well as Omega drivers but the ordeal continues. I have managed to get stable system only with some very old drivers but that is not a solution because new games are not very happy with old drivers. Do you have any suggestions?

This seems to be very common problem which is not related only to ATI or to specific motherboard. People reported same thing happening with NVIDIA cards. It is device driver go stucked in infinite loop problem. Solutions are various but none of them are reported to work 100 sure. Try uninstalling everything related to ATI driver. For this operation use Driver Cleaner Pro utility. After that install driver from cd you recieved with your video card and then update drivers. This is reported to work in many cases. Good luck with this one.
