Do you have a virus scanner that is up to date? Have you scanned lately?

Have you scanned for spyware

After the basics are out of the way we can do these things...

ati2dvag.dll is a ATI driver file.

I would uninstall (completely) the ati drivers and then reload them

Make sure to choose the right driver for your laptop.

Download and install the updated video drivers from www.ati.com. If that doesn't solve it, re-install windows.

Vibrations can hurt the laptops hard drive if the neddle is not parked.
When the OS shuts down it parks the neddle, the only time its not parked is when it loses power in the middle of a read/write.
