Crash in ATI DirectX dll, probably caused by me, but need symbols to determine why.
We have a 64-bit multithreaded 3D Graphics rendering application, built using DirectX 10.1 that occaisionaly has been crashing in recent builds. We suspect that it is a problem caused by something we are doing, but the crash is occurring in the atidxx64.dll (ATI DirectX driver dll?)
The machine has the ATI Catalyst 10.1 version installed on it, running the 64 bit version of Windows 7. The graphics card is a ATI 4870 I think. We have not been able to reproduce the problem often, but our software can create crash dump files when it does crash, so we can view the crash dump in Visual Studio, and WinDbg. The crash does not happen often enough to know consistently what is causing it. It seems random.
The crash appears to be occurring in a thread spawned by the ati dx driver itself, during the midddle of the Present() call in our main thread.
Is it possible to get the debug symbols for a specific ATI driver release from somewhere?
If not, is it possible, that I can send this to someone at ATI to examine the crash dump and tell me whether it is our fault or not, and what we did?
Here is the information that Visual Studio 2008 produces about the crash:
Unhandled exception at 0x731ada19 in GPDSGP8_2010_06_21_11_42_41_0000.dmp: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x0000000000000038.
The crash was here:

Using WinDbg, I found that the call stack gave a little more information, but I suspect that it is incorrect because I am missing symbols.
