Hello community !
It's my first post, I thank you all for working that hard together.
I suffer from the same probleme than you, exactly with a X600 PCI express card.

Here we go folks, I've been having this problem for almost a year now with my computer (infinite loop and ati2dvag.dll reboot errors), and tried almost everything my mind could possible think of doing. I've tried every solution on this board, and every other board I could find relating to this file and to the infinite loop, with absolutely no success. I tried every driver package available, bios updates, agp chipset updates, every combination of every setting. I've tried reducing power usage in my computer, I've placed more power in my computer... I've added more fans and created an optimal cooling system in my computer. I made sure there were absolutely no IRQ conflicts, and nothing was using the same IRQ as my video card. I've tried with one stick of ram, with one in 1 and 3. I've tried disabling onboard sound, and putting in a soundblaster card. Nothing... I mean nothing, worked at all.

Until now! I found a solution, that has worked for me and a bunch of other people who have tested it for me.
So give it a try, perhaps it will work for you too. My computer has been working 100% since I made this change. There is a chance it could reduce the effeciency of your texture drawing with your video card... but I've tested it with :

Unreal Tournament 2004
Rise Of Nations
Neverwinter Nights
Doom 3
Max Payne 2
Transport Giant
and a bunch of older games....

Anyhow, no more wait, give this a shot :

Right click-mouse over My Computer
Properties
Hardware(Tab)
Device Manager(button)
Click [+] next to System devices
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
Next(button)
Finish(button)
Reboot.

Please let me know how this works for you.
Good luck.
I can't believe I have been dealing with ATI for over a year trying to fix this and this solution has been here all along. I have had the infinite loop problem for over a year where I would get hard crashes once an hour - sometimes less, depending on the application. This whole time ALI calls this problem and its fix "unknown". They don't know why it happens or how to fix it. Idiots.

Two weeks ago, I finally started to investigate it myself and came across this fix. My graphics card has never run better. Wow. Not a single crash, and everything runs smoothly on NWN, Star Wars BFII, Pirates!, CIv4, and Madden 2005.

I have no idea why this fix works, but it worked liked a DAM for me. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou. You just saved me a couple hundred bucks I was going to spend on an Nvida card.

i stuggled with this problem for the last 2 months and finally figured out what was wrong with my vid card. it was my vid card's fan that died, which overheated my system everytime i tried playing any games. i went out and got a new fan for my vid card and everything worked perfectly. so you guys should test your vid card fan to see if its runing correctly. besides that, i dont know. good luck

Thank you, dude!

About less than 20 hours ago, I woke up to find that my pc had hung with some corrupted display(a line of coloured bars at the top of the screen). Then, it could not boot up anymore and kept having some beeping sounds. After leaving the pc off for about a few hours or so, I managed to get the pc boot up again. And it lasted for a few hours until it froze again.

So, I hope this fix(PCI to PCI) might help counteract the problem on the software side, while I figure out what else might be causing this issue, hardware-wise.

I don't know what it did but I followed your instructions Cobrakaun and now my computer doesn't freeze any more when I'm playing games. Thanks very much.

you're a genius!
I just wanted to say that Cobrakaun, you are a genius! i tried your fix and it worked like a charm! I have been struggling with that infinite loop error for months now and your fix did the trick! why can't ATI and VIA fix their hardware? Doesn't seem right that consumers need to find out how to make their hardware work when they are the manufacturers. Keep up the good work!! I'm actually using the video card for cadd work so it is crucial that it not freeze and blue screen me. I'm trying to view autocad plans in 3D and BAM! freeze and reboot! now, no more!! it's great. Thank you again.

Hi there,
about the ati2dvag.dll causing BSOD...

I have a Tecra laptop with an ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 on it.
Unfortunately the posted "AGP to PCI-to-PCI" trick did not work very well in this case, not that I did not hope for it.

After uninstalling all ATI stuff first,
well, as odd as it might sound, I just
1-Deleted the "ATI2DVAG.DL_" file from the install folder. (In: ts1vidx\Driver\2KXP_INF\B_07765)
2-Install App from the \Driver folder using the SETUP.EXE
3-Install App from the \CPanel folder using the SETUP.EXE in the ts1vidx folder.

Yet i just work find, hope it can help

Truly

Like a bad apple removed from the basket I suppose.

I have had this "infinite loop" error on and off for the past year nearly. Now it's got to the point where it's very annoying. I tried this fix but it didn't appear to work for me. I have tried the usual cleaning, fresh install of drivers, safe mode, old drivers, new drivers, disabling sound, tweaks, fixing heating issues, agp4/8x all of it that you can imagine.

At the moment it BSOD's or crashes within 10-25mins of playing a game and it's very annoying.

I'm glad to see this fix worked for alot of people though, but it mainly seems to be people that have VIA onboard sound that it worked for. I have Abit NF8 with Nvidia onboard sound and i don't know if anyone has any fix tips for that mobo.

Cobrakaun - Thanks Thanks Thanks ...is all I can say.

I have been struggling for almost 2years with this problem on my HP laptop. Have had numerous HP techs "assist" me... nothing worked.

Until I found your post about the Standard PCI - PCI bridge solution.

I tried it... and it worked. I have waited quite a while before posting this just to make sure it worked... and it has worked!

I have been BSOD free without any "infinite loop" sticking at all.

Thanks again!

Hi,
I have a sony vaio vgn-260p that was having the same problem. It would die with the the ATI infinite loop error as soon as it booted. These instructions have worked like a charm. Thanks much!
