Windows 7: ntoskrnl.exe causing various BSOD error messages

AlexDug · 08 Jan 2011

Hello everyone,

Since yesterday, I've started to get BSOD screens frequently. I tried any tool I could find, but it wouldn't do anything. After further searches, I've found using a dmp reading tool that my blue screens were caused by ntoskrnl.exe. Here are the dump files in text:

These are only 4 of them (the other ones were from yesterday and disappeared). As you can see, the BSOD error messages are different.

Anyway, I tried Googling but I can't find anyone with a similar problem to mine.

Thank you for helping me!

Edit: I forgot to add: the BSOD appears randomly. Somtimes on the Windows 7 logo booting screen, sometimes after a few minutes or hours. Even sometimes there's no BSOD screen at all, it just completely freezes and I have to shut down my computer.

Sorry for the late reply, I had a terribly long shift at work today.

Here are the infos required:

- x64.
- Originally Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit.
- Full retail version.
- Hardware around a year and a half old.
- OS around 6-7 months old.

Thank you for looking into my problem, I don't want to format once again. :S

Dumps point to your GPU drivers, atikmdag.sys

- Boot into safe mode with networking
- Uninstall the ATI drivers including Catalyst Control Center
- Use driver sweeper to remove leftover ATI display driver files Guru3D - Driver Sweeper
- Reboot in safe mode with networking
- Install the latest drivers ATI Radeon
- Reboot into normal mode

Code:
