About a month ago I began experiencing problems during gameplay. I usually only play Counter-strike Source... it used to run perfectly. I installed the latest Omega drivers (aug 26) dated. Anyway, before installing the Omega drivers i could play for about 15-20 minutes Perfectly..no errors/lag/choke anything, then one of four things would happen:

1. Blue screen of death with "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL"

2. Looping sounds ingame with frozen screen

3. loud, high pitched sqeal, followed by a frozen screen

4. Closing of the game with no error message at all.

After installing the Omega drivers, i no longer get the Blue screen of death with the IRQL stuff. i have gotten the looping sounds...then a checkerboard like effect...but eventually things will return to normal (though i'm usually dead by this time in the game hehe :P) and the program still randomly closes, but i've yet to see the high pitched squeal.

I would really appreciate any help with this.. i'm just really upset at spending a lot of money on a gaming laptop and now being only able to play for 15-20 minutes every reboot

i have all SP2 updates also

SYSTEM SPECS:
Toshiba Satellite A75
intel pentium 4 532, 3066 mhz (23 x 133)
motherboard chipset: ATI mobility 9000 IGP
video adapter: Mobility radeon 9000/9100 IGP series (Omega 2.6.53)
512MB DDR SDRAM

Any and all help would be greaty appreciated.

**EDIT**
I was just playing the game again, and everything was running quite smoothly until all of a sudden, my system rebooted ... it's starting to piss me off lol, thanks again for any help.

**EDIT2**
I tried playing the game in "windowed" mode to see if was getting announced errors. After the normal 15-25 min of gameplay my display messed up... it messed up bad.. lol . I managed to get a screenshot and save it *took me about 5 min to get it and save it lol*



**EDIT3***
I used my system restore disk, and reformatted my computer back to the same settings as when i got it. Before installing the omega drivers i could play for about 30 minutes before a "Display Driver Stopped Functioning" message (ati2dvag.dll). I will probably update after I install the Omega drivers again.

**EDIT4**
Ok, after installing the Omega drivers I can play for a good 30-40 minutes without error. ... however...now my monitor is just turning off....no clue what's going on...but i think meh lappy is dying... and i bought it last month lol

**EDIT5**
After my comp crashed again (for what seems like the thousanth time), i actually got a error report thingy.
Error caused by ATI Graphics Driver: No specific solution found
