    I've had my W3V for six months now and it seems to crash about once per day. It seem that it crashes when I plug in the AC, but it also crashes at other, seemingly arbitrary times. Sometimes I get a distorted screen immediately, other times it slowly dims out, and still other times the screen turns off and then restarts. When I do get an error message it is usually something to do with the ATIdvag (if I remember correctly).

    I tried Omega drivers and that was no better.

    What can I do?

    Thanks.
