Now and then my system would randomally reboot with a message about
recovering from a serious error, so I did some searching on google and there
was mention about ATI graphics cards, so I removed everything from
add/remove programs relating to the ATI card and reinstalled the latest
RADEON drivers from the ATI website and restarted.
I went into system properties and unchecked automaticlly restart to see if a
BSOB would give me an idea of what is wrong, now I have been online (modem)
for 3 hours now and goto disconnect and walked away from the pc for a few
mins to return to find that the system had froze up, this is a new problem
or maybe related, any idea's? bad video card?

Last week the pc wouldn't start becuase of a config file error and I decided
to do a full format and clean install, I tested the memory which is ok, the
Harddrive which is ok, the MB and VGA card is 6 months old and been running
ok until now.
