ultimate99 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindovermaster Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Check your dump folder and/or event viewer to see, exactly what is happening here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

ultimate99 Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 This error message comes up as well, sometimes. What's DDU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ultimate99 Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html Cool. I've reinstalled the driver. Now it's a matter of time to see if it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimate99 Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 It's been working for a couple of days, but suddenly I got the same BSOD. Not sure what the next step is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nexus18 MVC Posted May 31, 2015 MVC Share Posted May 31, 2015 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.

FunkyMike Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 It's been working for a couple of days, but suddenly I got the same BSOD. Not sure what the next step is... 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimate99 Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 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.
