hello, i am currently running the latest version of the ATI drivers on my Radeon HD 3870 (or at least i think how can you diffidently tell what version you are on?). and the "display driver" keeps crashing this happens when i am playing a game AND when i am not playing games. it used to happen only once a day but not it happens pretty regularly and it is driving me nuts! so can some one please tell me a fix for this problem i really need one thanks.

OS- vista 64 bit (just pre orderd win7 yay!)
GFX card - Radeon HD 3870

ps: i will be uninstalling and re-installing the drivers and will post back if that works but please give me some help.

Snoop around here^^^ maybe something will jump out at you,you should consider getting something that can completely remove any video drivers [like "Your Uninstaller 2008"] any version of Everest,, can tell you what version you are running,suggest try reinstalling your drrectX,and maybe you do have a heat problem,because that is one thing that can cause repeated stoppages ..:)
