Default Video Drivers - Toshiba Tecra S2

I have an old Toshiba Tecra S2 laptop that crashes occassionally when
you try to play games, it goes to a blue screen of death with an
error
code that involves the graphic drivers.

I want to upgrade the video drivers on this machine, it has an ATI
Mobility Radeon X600. But when I try to upgrade from ATI's site it
tells me the drivers aren't compatable and I need to get them from
Toshiba's site. But on that site the only graphic drivers they offer
for this model are from 2005.


So... Am I screwed or is there a way to get ATI's normal drivers
working in this machine? Am I forced to use the customized Toshiba
version from 2005?


(ps I've also tried Omega drivers, the problem remained)
