atikmdag.sys BSOD


Recommended Posts

I been facing with this problem for a while now and it's unbearable. I spontaneously get the atikmdag.sys BSOD, specially when my monitors go to sleep and wake up. I followed this guide but I randomly get this BSOD. Happened recently when playing video as well.

Of course, all my drivers are up to date. Any thoughts?

 

Specs:

AMD 7950 3GB

Monitor 1: Dell U2312HM via DVI (landscape mode)

Monitor 2: Dell 1909W via VGA with Display adapter (portrait mode)

Windows 8.1 Pro

Check your dump folder and/or event viewer to see, exactly what is happening here.

That guide is only good if your driver didn't install properly.

 

IE. you are moving the kernel manually to the drivers folder. Not really needed if everything installs fine.

 

Did you clean with DDU prior to install?

It's been working for a couple of days, but suddenly I got the same BSOD. Not sure what the next step is...

I had this problem with my 290 non stop for the first few months back in June/July, didn't matter what I did, what time it was, it was just completely random.

 

I also tried DDU, resetting my bios settings and followed that guide, which you linked, it seemed to help reduce the frequency and I could go for 3 months without the issue but then boom, out of nowhere, it started again :(

 

Thankfully AMD's first omega driver seems to have solved the issue *touch wood*

 

Only other thing I can recommend you to try is make sure AMD CCC overdrive stuff is disabled, install MSI afterburner, set the power limit to 50% and copy these settings:

Might be worth disabling ULPS as well.

There was an AMD user a month ago that had an issue with his display being black on startup with his desktop AMD GPU.

 

The official drivers all shared the same issue until one of the newer ones that removed the blackscreen but gave him random BSODs. 

 

He tried everything and finally decided to give our modded mobility drivers a go. 

 

Long story short. One of our mobility fixes translated well onto his DP monitor and stopped it from blackscreening / bsod.

 

The mobility / desktop driver is the same thing btw.

 

This might be totally unrelated / might not help but if you are out of options I will be glad to give you a link.

Just a few minutes ago, my monitors turned off, i then moved the mouse to wake them, all i see is the cursor and had to reboot.

Looking at the event logs I see:

 

Display driver amdkmdap stopped responding and has successfully recovered.

A caller specified the SDC_FORCE_MODE_ENUMERATION flag in a call to the SetDisplayConfig() API

 

Not sure if that means anything.

 

@FunkyMike, i'd be happy to try the mod.
