The latest video drivers maybe for the 3800s or even now seen 4800 model cards out. Or you may have inadvertently downloaded a Vista version of the Catalyst.

Try taking a look at the "ATI>support>catalyst version" folder to see if that is named for XP or Vista there. The AtiCimUn.exe file is the uninstaller found in the driver folder if XP.

Do you get any kind of details when windows resumes, any "Recovered from a serious error" codes etc?

Try checking your event logs. Its under 'Administrative Tools' in Control Panel.

Hello,

• Start
• Run
• eventvwr.msc

That will get you the event viewer to see if you get any error messages.
