could you please zip the dump and upload it?

To do this:

Start > Run > c:\windows\minidump > ok

Locate: Mini071809-01.dmp

Then zip it up (note you can also Zip up a few together, if there are more recent ones)

Then "Upload" (bottom right hand corner in the reply window) the Zip file

We can then analyze the Minidump(s) and hopefully let you know what to do

You may also want to check that you have the latest Audio driver from your hardware manufacture, installed

And that DirectX is also up to date

Sometimes its also a matter of completing all Windows Security Updates and Service Packs too

it is being caused by this file atikmdag.sys which is an ati display driver so remove your graphics drivers but before you do that download the latest ones then download driver sweeper and run it in safe mode to remove all the leftover driver files once you have uninstalled the drivers then reboot into normal mode and install latest ati display drivers.

The fault can be related to Hardware

The first thing you should do is run Bios Setup Defaults (in case you are presently overclocking)

Next confirm your Ram voltage rating is the same as reported in Bios

Next Run Memtest on your Ram

You may also try removing all internal dust in your computer

And re-seat all hardware

If each individual option above does not help, then you may need to set your Ram timings manually in System Bios

Lastly replace your Power Supply (or Ram if found faulty)

The above may take some time for you to do

Please reply back when you have had any change

And you didn't think to mention this before? Just roll back the driver - one of the great features in Vista.

How do I do this?

Lastly replace your Power Supply (or Ram if found faulty)

I have E8400 @ 3.8 , 4870X2 , 4 GB mushkin xp redline. It requires a pretty powerful and pretty EXPENSIVE power supply , I can't just find one and replace...

Yes, uninstall the current driver and install the new one (get it from the ATI web site, not from Windows Update). Let's see what happens - though it's possible your system just doesn't like the new driver. In that case you'll probably want to uninstall the new driver (again) and install the older one that worked. There is rarely a need to update video drivers unless the new release has a specific fix you need.

    • FIFA cup is a worldwide event.

    • The original word arts were far more awesome! With their own preconfigured fill patterns, 3D layout, etc. I especially loved the ones circled below and still miss them from my primary school years: I frankly use them less these days 'cause the new one isn't as straightforward fine art as what we originally had. Same with the built-in picarts selection.
    • What didn't you understand about that was mainly referring to Google, Microsoft, etc. keeping your passwords. Password Management is a key service of Bitwarden and it's not going anywhere. In any case they do offer export to other Password management services, backup/download of passwords, and the already mentioned on-prem option. I don't agree with the OP to use the free option as it's better to be an actual customer IMO. They don't just don't delete accounts like the big tech companies with no recourse which was the main concern of this article. I was confused if the author was trying to sell this setup? It should be obvious to anyone reading this article this solution is overly complicated and overkill for most users.
    • I got this notification just now in Android: So I went in to disable the "Other" or "Marketing" notifications in Notifications management: But it came through the Now Playing? So if I disable that I no longer get what's Now Playing in Notifications? I'm a paying subscriber, not on the free plan... can they sink any lower?
    • Population especially in high density areas creates more heat and more humidity. This can be noticed in an indoor arena or concert room which heats up when the room or arena fills with people, without air conditoning to cool it down, Watering of lawns creates more humidity as the moisture from the watering rises into the atmosphere, creating a more humid condition. The again, depopulating an arena or room after an event will drop the temperature inside. Desert areas are less humid for a number of reasons, including a lower population density. Tel Aviv has horrible weather, unless you like it hot and humid. Summer days are regularly 90+ F with humidity well over 70%. It is probably not as bad as Mississippi but still it is bad enough.
