display driver atikmdag stopped responding. ..

OP: Vista
Dell Inspirion 546--less than a month old

Is there a solution to this problem? I've seen much posted on the internet about it but no solutions. (Screen gets pixled, may or may not recover, and often the computer must be unplugged to get by it) Makes no difference what I'm doing on the computer--could happen anytime--two or three times a day.
I've been on the phone almost daily with the Dell techs and everything they've tried has not worked--at all.

I'm packing up the computer and they're coming to pick it up in a few days. Is there any point in getting another Dell?
I never had a single problem with my last one but I just can't go through this again. Do they all have this problem?

I needed something that would run Adobe CS4. Any suggestions on a computer? Brand? Model?

Thanks for any help -suggestions. I am so incredibly burnt out on this computer.
