device failure

[imported_Papi]

all of a sudden, while surffing mostly, my laptop (which is a Dell, with Windows xp reinstalled) does this flicker thing and it looks like it switched to safe mode because the colours are all messed up and the window resizes to a smaller size. I get a message saying that a device failure caused windows to become unstable and I need to reboot to restore windows to its full function. Sometimes the window just does some jiggy thing and sizzles so I mannually reboot. When I reboot I get these errors.

Error Msg 1
Error Msg 2

What the frig is up with this?

I've tried looking for these drivers to remove them but I cant find them.

Can anyone help?

my first thought would be to update the video drivers...

download new ones, from the laptops i've worked on with the ati mobilities, reinstalling the same driver usualy doesn't help. uninstall/reinstall in safe mode.
