All of a sudden, my monitor shuts down and a blue screen comes up, telling me that the file "ati2dvag" has caused a problem. It tells me that the device driver got stuck in an infinite loop. It shows a bunch of numbers and says Beginning dump of physical memory. And the only way to turn it off is to press the Manual on/off button on my laptop.
Now...symptoms include:
Jerky internet scrolling (It has never occured until after the blue screen of death)
Pixels on my monitor are discolored green, blue, and some red
My computer constantly freezing ( the monitor would go off, then back on suddenly)
My computer crashing (Once I boot up my computer, the moment I open something like Firefox or a game, it freezes up)
My games don't work..(something about Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime error) but I know it has something to do with the blue screen because it has never occurred until now
I looked up how to fix it on the internet and saw that millions of people had the same problem with the "ati2dvag bug" as they are calling it. Some people had solutions, such as one where I would switch my driver to the standard PCI to PCI bridge, but nothing works...!
Now expensive laptop no longer works... all it does is crash everytime I boot it up
PLEASE, does anybody have a solution for this?
