HELP !! atiZdvag What to do?

[TurtleSlo]

Running XP home had the blue screen with following file atiZdvag on my other PC
I have not done the reboot as of yet the device driver says got stuck in in an infinite loop

any suggestions,

Turtleslo

I did try to reboot with the same blue screen

I did notice 1 beep followed by 2 consecutive beeps then 1 more beep
I know the beeps are a sign, can this be the monitor driver?

how do I tell if ??

ATi is a monitor driver. It is the driver used for a ATi video card. That is what failed and caused the loop.

You need to update teh driver. Most likely from Safe Mode.

 

[TurtleSlo]

to get to safe mode ?

is that F8 key?

 

[KSoD]

Yes. F8 key after the BIOS screen but before Windows loads. Make sure you do it with networking so that you can get onto the internet to download the latest drivers. Also download and run Driver Cleaner Pro to clean out the old corrupt drivers.

Driver Cleaner Professional download from Guru3D.com

ok, I will try
once I get to safe mode which drivers do I get for the download?

I will be giving this a try so stay near, tks

Dave

 

[KSoD]

Sorry i cant stay near. I have things to do. Life outside of the forum.

You need the drivers that match yoru card. So you need to find the drivers that match your system and card. You can find them by looking at the specs of your PC at the manufacturer's site.

CMOS settings wrong

Okay first off. No need for 6 posts in a row. Edit your posts.

2nd are you sure it is atiZdvag? Not just atidvag? there is nothing out there for atiZsvag.

I have no idea what you are talking about with the Test Page....

You need to run Belarc or Everest to find out the info on your video card. You need to find out what the blue screen info is. You need to get a new CMOS battery. You did NOT get into safe mode. You got into the BIOS. I said wait until AFTER the BIOS then hit F8 to get Safe Mode.

 

[TurtleSlo]

it was atiZdvag for sure, if I could of hit print screen I would of

sorry I use PC alot for my buzz, when it comes to blue screens and no booting I get kinda panicky, I have a back up PC from where I am sending this info from, and getting your help,

this 4 yr old PC works just fine for all my projects

I do use AVG & CCleaner, lavasoft is no longer supported, what should I use
Spy Bot ?

CMOOC battery? is that why I might of got the Test Pages - Search site when I was able to log back in? I had to reset my clock it showed Aug. 25 , 03 !!!!

Once I reset the clock the verify was no longer, odd yea,,

I will ck back torm, and get some of the updates and stuff

tks alot
Dave

You CMOS battery is what controls your BIOS. That is why your clock reset.

I would not trust that site. It looks more like spyware to me. Never has a site asked for a SS# and your DOB. Even if it does you should NEVER enter it.
