Windows has recovered from an unexpected shut down -- Windows 7 on 64 bit problems

Question

Hi, I know lots of people have had this problem, but I need help --- it seems like since everyone has had this problem since 2009, there should be an easier way to fix it than all the complicated answers I have read so far.
I have a Toshiba Satellite A305; T8100 @ 2.10GHz; 64 bit.
My computer will have an unexpected shut down whenever it is left alone for too long (goes to sleep). I've tried installing the latest drivers.... maybe I am missing something?

Answer 1

THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER_M (100000ea)
The device driver is spinning in an infinite loop, most likely waiting for
hardware to become idle. This usually indicates problem with the hardware
itself or with the device driver programming the hardware incorrectly.
Arguments:
Arg1: fffffa8005d77060, Pointer to a stuck thread object.  Do .thread then kb on it to find
    the hung location.

your extremely old ATI catalyst driver is the cause. Update the driver:
