    Error reporting says my ATI drivers have failed twice in 2 days. It is completely stock. I have modded nothing or changed drivers from factory etc. Should I try to DL and reinstall the drivers from the site to see if this fixed it? Its a real pain to be in the middle of something and crash like this. Thanks and sorry if this was posted elsewhere. I tried to search for an answer before posting.

    Yea reinstall the drivers from the hp website, but first :
    1) uninstall all ATI driver you see
    2) reboot
    3) reboot again, who knows
    4) reinstall the drivers and reboot a last time

    there is an application that was created to make sure your ATI driver is completely uninstalled before updating/reinstalling.

    it's called drivercleaner.net - that is the website as well.
