I really don't know where to go to ask this question so I figured with the electronic and software experts here, this would be as good of a place as any. I've gotten the "blue screen of death" on my Windows XP laptop about 5 or 6 times in the past month. I have pasted below what the screen says when displaying the error message with the blue background. I don't understand what to do. The file in question is ati2dvag and I have done a file search for it and found five files with that name throughout my laptop. What do I do now?
