hi,

i have a problem, so please i would appreciate any help.

problem is that for some reason in last few weeks my screen (computer) simple restart itself, and than comes back as:
1. either with the message that problem was caused by Radeon 9250
2. or, more often, it restart itself but screen is black, so basically i have to switch off the comp. and start it again; then there are also 2 variations: one is with blue screen that say that problem is by ati2adv.exe (actually i am not sure, its ati2-something.exe) which goes in something as "loop" and than again i have to restart it; or with black screen with the question as should i start with normal or last good or safe mode;
3 but basically i have to restart it a few times before option 2 happens.

i have some basic knowledge about computers, so i have run also driver updates, but there are always like three problems:
1. Uli Integreted Driver
2. Uli Integreted Mainboard Driver for Windows 9x/me/..../2003/x64
3. ATI CATALYST Driver for windows 2003/xp
... than after updating the drivers, when i run checks, it shows me same drivers again and all over again...

For the info: i do not have viruses or troyans (i think) as i run AVG, Adaware (andSpybot) and i have ZoneAlarm.

Computer is old 8 months but i have this problem last three weeks.

THANK YOU FOR HELP
Davor

Video drivers are always finiky! You have to make sure you remove all previous drivers before installing new ones. In other words, you need to clean out the old drivers as completely as you can before even attempting to update to new ones.

I would uninstall your drivers completely, all the way to where windows is using it's basic driver, then reinstall updated drivers.
