Display Driver Problem
Have recently suffered some display problems on the laptop - everything on the screen becomes large and the computer subsequently crashes.
I then get a blue screen with lots of text - including 'the display driver is stuck in a loop'. The text ati2dvag also appears. Restarting cures the problem, for a short time and then the whole thing happens again.
Heeeeeelp!!!!

Sounds very much like you need to re-install the ATI Display drivers that may have become corrupted.
Check these :
ATI Support - Where you can download a tool to analyse exactly which driver you need, prior to uninstalling the xureent driver(s), downloading and installing the correct one(s), plus a Problem reporting wizard / analysis tool that can send details to ATI for further advice.
Other resources to check out :
ati 2dvag.dll infinite loop fix

Thanks Cocunutty,
I'm pretty sure the infinite loop fix is what I need to carry out, however I can only get as far as....
Right click-mouse over My Computer
Properties
Hardware(Tab)
Device Manager(button)
Click [+] next to System devices
.....Here as CPU to AGP Controller doesn't seem to be listed on the system devices list. Now I'm really confused !!
right-mouse on CPU to AGP Controller (or whatever your controller is called, mine was SiS AGP)
Update Driver(button)
Select Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)
Next(button)
Select Don't search. I will choose the driver to install.
Next(button)
Select PCI standard PCI-to-PCI bridge
Next(button)
Finish(button)
Reboot.

PC, try a System Restore to a time before the problem appeared.
Go to All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore. Choose a date prior to the problem and see if this helps. You can always undo the restoration if it does not help.
You may have a hardware problem. The video daughter board may just need re-seating or as Frostbite suggests, a cooling issue.
