Hello everyone.
I'm in despair here, so i hope you can help me out a little bit.

My pc has, as of lately, been rebooting at random times. I found the cause of this to be my graphics card drivers, so I went to the ATI homepage, and got the drivers for them, which didn't do squat to help with the problem.
Now here's what I -think- is going on.
My graphics card is a Asus A9550GE/TD/256mb.
Even tho this card has an ATI chipset from a 9550, I don't think the drivers from the ati9550 (the ones I have right now) are compatible with it.
Where do I draw this? Well, it tells me my video card is a "ATI Radeon 9550/X1050 series" in properties.

Now to the real problem at hand, I simply can't find any drivers specificly for the A9550GE, I've looked everywhere and googled it for hours on end, to no success.

Please, do tell me if i'm just talking out of my ass here, and if the problem is somewhere else (or my head eventualy).

Thank you for your patience, I hope i made my point clear.

"Please, do tell me if i'm just talking out of my ass here, and if the problem is somewhere else (or my head eventualy)."

No comment! though the ATi drivers are very much AOK, they have built in Chipset recognition so would not hold much store in what Device Manager states, HWINFO is a good hardware identification tool..

"My pc has, as of lately, been rebooting at random times"

Overheating would be a better avenue to explore !!

That was my first choice, but Asus probe clocks the heat at 39Cº max.

Besides, when after the reboot i submit the error, and the response i get is exactly that it is a driver problem.

BTW: I just found some VGA drivers for the A9550 series in Asus US support website.
They're "ASUS ATI VGA card driver version 8.33 for Windows XP". Is this anything like what i need? I'm downloading it now and its awfully huge (200mb).

"been rebooting at random times. I found the cause of this to be my graphics card drivers"

Are you certain of the cause? The default setting for XP is to reboot whenever it encounters trouble - - instructions for altering that here (if you haven't already done so)

I'm not one of those who think Bill Gates is the devil. I simply suspect that if Microsoft ever met up with the devil, it wouldn't need an interpreter.

Report Offensive Follow Up For Removal

As I said, i'm basing this on the fact that when i submit the error, it says its a driver problem. Right now i've adjusted the acceleration of my graphic card and it seems to have worked out the problem, which kinda confirms what I was saying.

Maybe its the GC only that is overheating, I'll try and swap it for a Nvidia5200 later and see how that goes.

Update:
I stwiched to the Nvidia 5200 and the problems stopped.

I switched back to the A9550GE and the problems started all over again, this time i noted down the error:

STOP: 0x0000008e (0x0000005, 0xbf1fbd7f, 0xa68d99d4, 0x0000000)

ati3duag.dll - address bf1fbd7f base at bf12f000, datestamp 45c39523

Can you guys make sens out of this? Any help is much appreciated.

Btw, there is no chance the temp. is doing this, it was clocking at 32Cº at the time of the error.

i need driver asus/ati a9550ge
