Black Screen, then error

[imported_Ditch Pig]

I am sure that this is not your error however I'll post it just the same along with forwarding it to ATI.

I have an ATI Radeon 8500 128 meg card NON LE 275/275 FRESH install of WindowsXP SP1 & latest security patches DirectX 9.0 Catalist 3.1 & IronStorm 1.031 patch, Screen Res. 1152 x 864, 32 bit colour, & 120 hrz refresh in both game & windows desktop settings.

While running an internet game my screen suddenly went black froze for a few seconds then errored out. here is a post of the complete error report..
