ATI graphic card / windows XP freezing issue
I keep getting windows freezing. The event log pretty much always shows a system error code of ati2mtag with a description of CRT invalid display type. Anybody shed any light?

Re: ATI graphic card / windows XP freezing issue
welcome to dh...

did this just recently start happening... or is this a new video card..... a little more information about your system specs, and anything else you can provide would be great assistance in resolving the problem.
