BSOD "ATIDVAG" Stuck in an infinite loop.

Firehead03 · Feb 14, 2007, 12:22 PM

Gateway(Laptop)
Model: MX7525
BIOS Version 66.07.00
Mobile AMD Athlon 64 Processor 400+, MMX, 3DNow, ~2.6GHz
1022MB RAM(Dunno.. should be 1024MB)
ATI Mobility Radeon X600 256MB
Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005

I recently installed the newest ATi drivers (With the mobility mod tool) ever since, I've been getting that error.
I've tried everything I could think of to fix it. I uninstalled everything ATi, deleted all of the system files with "ATI" in the name (including atidvag)
Then I reinstalled the drivers and I still get the error.

After digging a little, it looks like Windows MCE isn't supported by Gateway on your laptop, but...

You could try scrolling down through the thread Here to get the latest mobility driver from AMD (Cat.7.1) and try it. There's a link there for the mobilitycatalyst driverset there.

I would go to the support site for your model laptop at Gateway's site and update the bios and motherboard (chipset) drivers if you haven't done so already before installing the mobility driverset, and make sure you have .Net 1.1 or 2.0 for WinMCE installed too - the driverset requires it.
