Today is the second time my PC (Windows 7 OS) blinked out and I got the blue screen warning me that an error had occurred. When I ran a diagnostic, the report claimed that "The device, ATITool Driver, is reporting "52"." I opened the Device Mgr. and clicked on ATITool but the program didn't give me the option of updating the driver. It shows the warning/error message: "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)"

How do I fix this, please?

ATItool is too overclock the graphics card. Maybe you overclocked the card too much and need to come down a little.

Yeah ATI Tool is an old GPU overclocking utility. Just uninstall it...

Now if its a GPU driver problem, what GPU do you have?
