I have fixed the ati2dvag problem. It was a hardware problem. The My video card was intermittent. I finally noticed I could temporarily cure the problem by hitting the computer with my fist. Dell finally relented to my constant requests and sent me a refurbished video card. After I installed the card my system has worked fine for two weeks. Fortunately Dell did not charge me for the x1400 card as long as I sent the bad one back to them.

I think mine is not any hardware failure, it works perfectly on xp sp2, but on my vista ultimate its not working, can anyone help me????

sorry to have open this thread again. but I really need help on this display driver problem.
A few days ago, my computer tells me that ati2dvag is having problem getting recognized (I didnt' see any blue screen though). it would just have very low resolution. So I unintalled my display driver (mobility radeon 9200 and ati mobility radion 9700), and re-intalled driver from SONY VIAO website (i have VGN S260P). That didn't fix the problem, but i can still operate the computer from safe mode.
Today, I use the recovery CD and re-installed everything. well, the process is completed, but when the computer reboot, it said "system not completed installed, try set up again...", so i did it again... but same message came up over and over again. the trouble is that the screen is completely black, I can't operate on safe mode anymore. It just re-boot itself over and over again. What should I do?
Please help.

New Graphics card problem!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok so I got myself a new graphics card-
HIS RadeonX1650PRO "Powered by ATI"

I have a custom built P.C. with the following:-

Gigabyte 7VT600P-RZ
AMD Sempron 2500+
1024Mb Ram (Elixir)
500w PSU (Magna)
Seagate Barracuda 120Gb
NEC DVD RW
Windows XP SP2 Proffessional
19" Widescreen LCD

I unistalled the old ATI software and drivers.
I removed my old GC which was a Radeon 8500 AGP.
Fitted the new card into the Mobo.
Booted up the PC and Windows detected a new VGA device. I inserted the installation CD and installed the drivers and software.

Shut the system down as requested and then the problem began.
On reboot I got to the Windows XP screen then My LCD came up No Input Signal which normally happens then the screen went blank and I got the mesage Out Of Range.

So I left it for a couple of minutes and then got a Blue Screen

ERROR CAUSED BY THE FOLLOWING FILE:ATI2DVAG
THE DEVICE DRIVER GOT STUCK IN AN INFINATE LOOP.
THIS USUALLY INDICATES PROBLEMS WITH THE DEVICE ITSELF OR
WITH THE DRIVER PROGRAMMING THE HARDWARE INCORRECTLY.
CHECK WITH THE VENDOR FOR DRIVER UPDATES.

TECH INFO:- ***STOP:0X000000EA (0X87102260, 0X86F7D4E8, 0XF7B1ACB4,
0X00000001

So I powered down then back up and got the safe mode screen and I selected last known good configuration.
I went to the ATI website and downloaded the latest driver package and installed it.
Shut the system down as requested and the same thing happened again.

So I am thinking the GC is faulty but I ran a search on Google for the above ERROR and it seems to be a common problem.

One of the forums had a suggested fix which is to goto System Devices in the Device Manager and change from

(VIA CPU to AGP Controller) driver to (PCI standard PCI-to-PCI Bridge) driver.

So I did this and rebooted again and up popped my desktop and Catalyst Control center loaded up.

So I tried playing a game (Medieval 2 Total War) it auto detected all my graphics settings to highest and I loaded up a massive siege and the game plays great.

So my only gripe now is that my AGP slot is running in PCI mode.
Will this have an adverse affect on my PC?
Is there any other fixes to this problem that anybody knows of on the site?
Any other help advice would be greatly appreciated.
I would like to have the card running on AGPx8 for full effect but just keeps on going to Blue Screen when I do so!!

Hi Joey
I have HP Pavillion DV 4000 laptop and Win XP SP2.
As you mentioned to right click on desktop then properties then settings then find advanced then click on smartgart and change it to 4x on your agp speed ok.
I don't get any smartgart in the advance section.
Any idea ?

I purchased an acer travelmate 7720G and after about a week it kept crashing with the above fault. After a lot of searching on the net for a solution as acer/microsoft and ATI dont have a clue, i ended up uninstalling all the ATI drivers and CCC in the add/remove programs of control panel and installed an alternative driver combination from omega.
link is
http://www.omegadrivers.net/ati.php

Just follow the directions and install, since then I have had no problems whatsoever.

Best solution probably is not to buy a laptop with an ATI video card.
Hope this helps someone else

Hey guys, I don't understand much about computer hardware. But I have this same problem, but this only happens to me when I'm playing games. Actually I only noticed this error today, because when I got that blackscreen, I never managed to get back to the desktop. But today, while playing FIFA O9, I managed to enter the desktop. I noticed this error saying something about this ati2dvag thing (I call it thing because of what I said in the begining of this post) and all the colours and size of icons diferent. Could someone tell me, in a resumed way, what can I do to fix this.

Thanks in advance,

Juan.

I recently bought a recon system to play the latest WoW xpan WotLK (old system not up to it and multi upgrades req'd). Am getting the 'ati - loop - 0X0000000 etc' errors. Will try all the fixes listed (have one already - a household fan aimed at the housing, chasis removed). System was very clean inside when I bought it - no dust at all. They can clean but they obviously don't test much before they sell. But then, I paid so little for it - no room to complain.

System specs:

Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Verion 2002
Service Pack 3
Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.80GHz
768 MB of RAM (my old one had more RAM - must get more RAM)

Chip Type: RADEON 9200 SE AGP (0x5964)
DAC Type: Internal DAC(400MHz)
Memory Size: 128 MB
Adapter String: Celestica Gold Edition RADEON 9200
Bios Information: 113-AA02300-100.CE

I have a spare in-the-box card, an ATI Sapphire X1650 Pro by Ati RADEON graphics with 512MB DDR2 memory with PCI Express Z16 Lane, 32-bit bus.

If I can't get one to work, I'll try the other. My old system has an NVIDIA GeForce card in it but I needed more mobo power, bigger hard drive, more RAM, better card, better monitor (got a new HP). and it couldn't handle the dl of SP3 that is required to run WotLK. I think you're going to find a lot of people coming up with this issue again as they try what I did - a short-cut, second-hand upgrade to try to handle a game xpan.

How many years on now has this been happening? *sigh*

Best, with thanks,
Mary U.
