It's now been two days... my kids have played many games and done video applications on the machine.

I have yet to see the error with the Catalyst 8.12 drivers.

Let us know if you have the same luck.

I installed the 8.12 Catalyst Drivers this morning... I'll watch and see if I still get the error.

Just to let everyone know, I just started having this problem using Catalyst 6.2 drivers on a fresh install of Windows 2000 Professional SP4 ... Tried using Omega drivers and still having the same issue

I have the very same problem and it sucks! My computer freezes at random and I have to hard reset. When I check the Log Viewer after reboot, I have this error message :( I have no other problems than this freezing at random times problem. I remember when I had the original drivers for my graphics card (it says ATI Radeon X300/X550/X1050 in Display Settings, I don't know which one I have) it wouldn't freeze at all. I've begun having this problem just as soon as I reformatted and did a fresh XP installation on my PC. The weirdest thing is people having this problem say they encounter the problem when they play games, run heavily-animated programs etc. I, on the othar hand, face this problem quite randomly. i.e. when listening to music on WMP, when surfing on the internet etc. all light duties. I hope we get a solution soon or else I'm never gonna buy an ATI graphics card again!

Interestingly, as of today (18 May 2008) AMD/ATi has removed the question I linked to in their knowledge-base from their site.

Maybe they've adopted the "Ignore the problem and it will go away." philosophy. :(

I sure hope not, because they've proven that wrong.

Has anyone EVER seen this problem go away with any version of the Catalyst Drivers?

after the fact (buying new card) I'm able to see error code in event viewer --I got the 4 beep error codes - monitor issue, no video at all! Bought new vid card (to test/eliminate) and prob went away! Going to RMA card but hearing driver solutions has me wondering/wanting to try old card
(800XL) again w/installed newer drivers 8.4 -first time EVER having vid card failure.

I downloaded the 8.3 Catalyst Drivers and the issue STILL remains.

Frustration doesn't quite describe it...

fleshth:
Are you getting the same error in your event logs when this behavior happens?

My system started slowing down on me big time last night doing various non-movie, non-gaming things; but using applications that had other smaller animations in them.

My event log is filled with instances of these messages; especially when the slow-downs happen. I agree with the frustration.

Have you tried going back to Catalyst version 7.6 to see if that helps?

This is a pain... BIG time. I have been just fine as up until about a day or so ago. nothing had changed. Just all of a sudden... i started getting a few hang up. Nothing much, just annoying. Then just as soon, i was moving a window when the whole system locked up. It never recovered. I had to hard reboot. Watching a movie, same thing. Then i just now had it happen, only this time, it recovered, but not the driver. My scrolling and window animations are VERY sluggish. it's annoying the piss out of me...
