    I bought a computer at the start of this year and ive been getting a blue screen saying

    "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

    The problem seems to be caused by the following file: ati2dvag

    If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

    The device driver got stuck in an infinite loop. This usually indicates problem with the device itself or with the device driver programming the hardware incorrectly.

    Please check with your hardware device vendor for any driver updates.

    Technical information:

    ***STOP: 0x000000EA (0x864CF440,0x83DB3708,0xF7A07CB4,0x00000001)

    ati2dvag
    Beginning dump of physical memory
    Physical memory dump complete.
    Contact your system administrator or technical support group for further assistance."


    Its not the first time ive got this blue screen its been atleast over 20 times. It mainly happens when im playing a game and watching a movie or when im doing alot of stuff on the computer at once.

    If any one noes anything about this error please help.
