Display driver stopped responding / sometimes BSOD

[FONT=andale mono]Can anyone help me get rid of this frequent message?[/FONT]

[FONT=andale mono]The system works fine under normal conditions, but under a moderate load or when starting games the screen blacks out and a "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" message pops up, or the driver doesn't recover and I end up with blue screen and a reboot. Everything works normally using the integrated graphics, even under heavy load, so maybe the card is at fault, but it still works fine in my other system, and I'm not entirely sure it isn't just operator error.[/FONT]

[FONT=andale mono]Where should I be looking for how to troubleshoot this? It sounds like a common problem, but I can't find a common solution. I'll attach some minidumps in a zip. Is there anything else that would be helpful?[/FONT]

Minidumps are all the same. It is indeed an ATI driver fault. Make sure that the on-board video is disabled and that you have the latest ATI driver installed for the HD5670
