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
