Solution to ati2dvag.dll blue screen of death???

Did anyone find a solution for the ati2dvag.dll BSOD???

I'm using the Radeon Omega Drivers v3.8.252 on Vista 32bit on my Toshiba A60 Pro laptop that has ATI Mobity 7000 IGP graphics card. Everything seems to work fine apart from this blue screen issue when I invoke shutdown, sleep, hibernate or restart.

I've searched the net for days to solve this problem but haven't found a solution that works. Although I've read stories from people using winXP SP2, I basically came to the conclusion that it is related the sleep/hibernate problem with Vista that is to be fixed in SP1.

But while we wait to try that, does anyone have a solution to this?

Cheers.

It's pretty random my friend. The way I fixed mine (and I'm on a desktop, HD3850) is uninstall the initial drivers I had (which was 8.1, non-hotfix), restart into safe mode, run DriverCleaner .NET and cleared out everything related to NVIDIA (except my ethernet and SMBus driver, I'm on an nForce MCP61/6150SE) and ATi. I restarted again and waited till Windows XP got to the desktop, then I installed the 8.1 hotfix, by itself (which I'm still using now).

I was getting BSODs whenever I run UT3 on it's maximum in-game quality settings at 1440x900 after 30 to 40 minutes of play, even if I forced the fan (through RivaTuner) to keep running at 60%. I kept RivaTuner on the system never needing to uninstall it. Doing the above stopped this from happening.

Thanks for the input but I think my problem is related to incompatability of the ATI drivers with Vista. I don't have any problems when I'm using the laptop. I can play the games that the laptop is capable of playing without problems. I only get the blue screen upon shutdown, hibernate, sleep or restart. The drivers worked fine in XP Pro.

One of the fixes I read was to go into device manager and change CPU to AGP controller to PCI-to-PCI bridge. But my card isn't an AGP so I don't see that option in device manager.
