From: Damon M. on
I have recently begun receiving the following error at apparently random
times. I also sometimes receive a message indicating that the VPU has
recovered from a serious error, but when I check the event log the only error
is the one posted below.

Event Type: Error
Event Source: ati2mtag
Event Category: CRT
Event ID: 45062
Date: 1/2/2008
Time: 9:29:06 AM
User: N/A
Computer: SHRUBURBATRON-V
Description:
CRT invalid display type
Data:
0000: 00 00 00 00 01 00 5a 00 ......Z.
0008: 2c 00 00 00 06 b0 00 c0 ,....°.À
0010: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........
0018: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........
0020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........

I have an AMD64 2.2GHz, with 1 Gig of RAM.
Main HDD is a 200 GB drive Partitioned into a 69.9GB and a 129.9 GB logical
drives.

The Video Card is an ATI Radeon 9600 all-in-wonder (Tho it was producing the
same error with a non-all-in-wonder ATI card).

My Monitor is a Princeton Graphics 21" CRT monitor.

Can anyone suggest a solution for this problem? I have attempted to upgrade
my Video Drivers. Monitor Drivers, Flashed the Bios, and searched the
Microsoft Knowledge Base (which had no entry for the error I might add). I am
now deeply confused.

Please Help.

Try to bring a LCD monitor from a friend and see if the error will occur
with it, the error indicte either a loose Video Card or malfunctioning or bad
Monitor.
Did you checked your refresh Rates (monitor refresh rates).

If the above didn't help try to Uninstall the Video Driver then reload them,
make sure before uninstalling you have the right software for the Video
card?.
Run the sfc /scannow
