my mom says it crashes on her when she goes to tagged.com. i tell her it just doesn't like her. and like aj has said i have the same probs he has. im thinking about going and buying an nvidia card.

loud ranger, i already have speed fan. my computer is setting next to a window with the side off. and its got 2 fans in it. its running about 5 degrees cooler then what is recommended. ive always watched my computer temperature very closely since one of the laptops i had was running extremely hot and had a meltdown.

thanks for the input guys

if you downloaded the application that changes your core clock or memory clock, you may be getting too hot. If you do reinstall the ati program that is crashing it install speedfan as well to monitor everything to make sure your not getting too hot.

If you think it might be a driver issue, boot into safe mode run driver sweeper to remove old drivers that may be interefering and then reinstall the new drivers and restart to exit safe mode.
I ran ATI graphic card the entire time I was in Iraq, It had aprogram for overclocking the graphics card. This WILL cause the blue screen of death. I reinstalled everything from scratch 4 times, before I decided that no amount of overclocking was worth it. Just run the ATI at the factory setting and leave it there. If you ever add cooling functions to your computer (hard core cooling) then maybe try overclocking, BUt if you want faster just get ab igger graphics card/

Well, mine has taken a hud now. I'm leaving ATI on the side of the curb. Three cards in 16 months is ridiculous. Here's what I'm getting now:
