Cobrakaun:
i've tried your fix, and it seems to work. The infinite loop usually occured when i opened ATI MMC TV or wanted to configure it while the tv was running. i've never had the loop during gaming. First let me tell you i've got an image/backup of a XP installation without ANY videocard drivers whatsoever installed. That way i can always fallback to a fully configured installation of XP without having to install windows and all the other software. This also makes sure the only things that changes are the drivers etc i install. I've tried all possible combinations, and concluded that (on my pc) Catalyst 5.3 + MMC 8.03 is the most stable combi. After i changed the cpu-to-agp controller to the std pci-to-pci coltroller, i installed Catalyst 5.3 and ATI MMC 8.03 (This is a combination of which i'm sure it works). I rebooted everytime after i installed a part of the software of changed something major. everything worked fine. So far i've followed your directions. The next thing i did was change the std pci-to-pci controller back to CPU-to-AGP controller. Until now, all is working flawlessly. I haven't tried gaming yet, but i don't expect any major problems. If they do occur, i'll let you guys know. Here are some specs of my pc: P4 3.0GHz, ASUS P4P800-E deluxe 1GB DDR3200 ATI AIW 9800SE 128MB CATALYST 5.3, ATI MMC 9.03 Last edited by Martin-S; 06-10-2005 at 03:36 AM.. Reason: fixed a typo

OK... I came to the same solution BUT, there are things to be very aware of when you do this!!
Exactly what youre doing is removing the AGP motherboard drivers, and switching to a standard generic driver. THIS WILL DISABLE AGP ACCELERATION! your AGP video card can not run at AGP speeds due to the missing driver, and thus, you will experience reduced performance. Its a good fix, and it works like a charm to those of us with the VIA ATI problem, but its only a band-aid. what we should all be doing is harassing VIA into fixing the problem. Until they do, I can garuntee I wont even consider buying a VIA based board again. So stop reading my ranting, and go send them a nasty email

I have a PCI card but had the same problem ever since I got this computer, and nothing fixed it. I tried your fix. I didn't have the system device "CPU to AGP Controller" but I did find "PCI bridge" available as a driver under the system device "LPC controller", so I set it to that.
That didn't help, but there was also a choice of two "82801FB" controllers, one by Intel, which it had previously been set to, and one by Microsoft. I set it to the Microsoft one and I haven't seen a crash or infinite loop since. I've just played four hours straight of Battlefield2 demo and it worked perfectly. Before, it was crashing every 10 mins in that game. So I think you're definitely on the right track, even for PCI cards. I never would have thought to try that if I hadn't seen your post. Thanks man.

Well, a minute and a hard reset ago, he did it again. Of course, my solution was to good to be true. I think i'll leave it this way. The performance of my system suffered to much from this fix.
One thing, i'd like to note: i've NEVER had it during gaming. Only when i'm watching TV via my AIW and internetting.

Where has my video gone
Hi, is it possible that by fixing the infinite loop error that myself and all of the above have been experiencing, could have made a mess of my video drivers?
I have since not been able to watch avi or mpeg files since. The sound plays however there are no pictures? How do you go about reversing this fix?

I've tried to do this, but I can't seem to find the right controller for it, it isn't in system devices at all. I have Widows XP and I don't know why it's not there, but does it by any chance run under a different name than those you've given? I really don't want to mess up my computer, but I do want to play the games I have and run the computer without problems. Help.

Well the love Hate relationship continues....There very few things more frustrating then having a computer problem that there is no clear cut absolute
fix for it.And very few things more satisfying then fixing what you were sure was to be a "Toss the old and get a new" solution. That said this problem with "ati2dvag bsod" is that kind of problem ,while cobrakaun's fix worked it did deminish performance (that we paid good money for),and others posted fix's that worked for them but not a blanket fix. Well heres what worked for me: First I did "cobrakaun's fix", then I uninstalled the drivers and control panel,restarted went into safe mode used DriverCleaner(download here http://www.drivercleaner.net) then did a file search "ati*.*" and removed all of them,then went into registry use RegCleaner(small free app dowload here http://www.worldstart.com/weekly-dow...cleaner4.3.htm) and deleted all entries pertaining to ati there.Restarted in normal mode,stopped windows Hardware installer from running,then stopped all running programs,and installed Cat.ver.5.6,after install did not restart went into SystemInfo/HardWare/DeviceManager/ System Devices,went to what I had changed in "cobrakaun's fix", (which was now PCI bridge standard PCI to PCI Bridge) right clicked that update driver then chose "Via CPU to AGP2.0/AGP3.0 Controller" installed that then started.Durring restart went into the Bios made sure all Fast writes,reads were disabled and appature size was equal to on card memmory,saved and exit.Once Windows loaded,went into Display/Settings(fixed my resolution)/Advanced/Troubleshooting checked to make sure hardware excel was maxed out,and Write combining was checked, then went to VPU Recover Tab and checked that it was active left it that way. 5 days no "ati2dvag bsod" ,as I stated above not sure it will work for all but so far is for me(Fingers and toes crossed).

Thanks!!
I had tried different video drivers, plus the cipset drivers for my laptop and with COBRA's advice I was able to boot into VGA mode and make the neccesary pci bridge to pci bridge change, and it fixed the infinite looping! WOOT!

An alternate solution for those with an "ASUS A8V Deluxe/ATI 9800XT 128MB" combo...
Quote:
First off, I'd like to thank everyone for the contributions to this thread, these VIA/XP/ATI combo issues can be a pain to troubleshoot. Following Fitz58's modified steps helped resolve the error I was having with a new rig I built for my wife (ASUS A8V Deluxe/ATI RADEON 9800XT 128MB/AMD64 3000+/"WindowsXP SP1 embedded upgraded to SP2" combo). However, I discovered I had to make two changes to his solution to get it to work for this type of system (i'm more used to settings in MSI boards; kinda new to ASUS):
After modifying the steps as described above, the system is now running solid...although at 4x AGP with no fastwrites; better than nothing  !Last edited by krizzik; 09-28-2005 at 02:30 PM..

help meee!!!
I went and bought myself 2 asus ax300se pciex cards, along with components to build 2 brand new pcs (everything except fot the hdd's). now, one card works perfectly, while the other repeatedly gets the infinite loop issue. i have tried swapping cards, and i get the same problem with the same card, which leads me to believe that its a card issue with this particular card. however, when i took the card back to my supplier (eclipse computers in coventry, UK for those interested) and they have "run some tests" and found no fault. twice. any suggestions please?

Only two years
Thx. I bought my ATI All-in-Wonder 7000 two years ago and battled with this problem on and off for a year...I finally shelved the card. I cleaned out my basement and found the card...I figured I would google "infinite loop Via Radeon 7000" again and see i anything new showed up...
This fix worked. I only wish i had not given up and seen this post when you posted it in Oct 2004...Oh well. Hey..my tv card is working now....thanks

I am working on a Sony Vaio VGN-S260 and am having that darn infinite loop blue screen then black screen error.
I applied the fix mentioned in the first post and it worked fine temporarily. However, after two weeks of sitting on the shelf I tried to boot it again and to my dismay I got the same frickin' infinite loop error. Now it was worse than before. I was going to try the bios spectrum fix mentioned by someone but my graphics card does not show up in the bios. Any other ideas? Fixes? I really need to have this fixed as I can't afford to buy another laptop. Many thanks!

Hi "Cobrakaun"
This is what u wrote... right-mouse on CPU to AGP Controller (or whatever your controller is called, mine was SiS AGP) Update Driver(button) Select Install from a list or specific location (Advanced) Next(button) Select Don't search. I will choose the driver to install. Next(button) Select PCI standard PCI-to-PCI bridge ---------------------- I don't hv any CPU to AGP ctrl in my DevMgr... or any similar entry. However, I do hv 2 entries for PCI standard PCI-to-PCI bridge. What do I do? My system configuration:- Intel D102G Mainbrd - ATI Radeon Express 200 chipset with intg A/V/N P4 - 3.06 512MB DDR2 80GB SATA Combo Drv Win XP Pro SP2 This is a brand new PC, purchased just last week, and has been locking-up/ restarting/ giving blue-screens from day one! I hv done clean-reinstalls several times until I realized it was actually the vid drvr prb. Hv downloaded n installed the latest drivers n the ATI Catalyst Control Centre s/w, after uninstalling all ATI products from my system COMPLETELY. No good. Some other forum mentioned sth abt disabling "Fast Writes" under the "SMARTGART" tab... I dont hv that option in my Catalyst Control Centre advance interface. Hv disabled the "Write combining" option in Windows Display Properties though, which didnt help either. Plz help!
