AurA · 14 Jan 2011

I keep getting random BSODs like SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION, IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, and dxgmms1.sys crash BSOD. Have inlcude the required files in the zipped file.

Windows 7 x64
is the original installed OS on the system
- an OEM

- System is 6-7 months old
- OS is also same as was preinstalled.

Dumps blame atikmdag.sys, your ATI display drivers

(Do these steps even if you have already reinstalled the ATI drivers)

- Stop any overclocking and reset all BIOS options to default values
- 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 (This step is important)
- Reboot into safe mode with networking
- Install the latest drivers ATI Radeon
- Reboot into normal mode

Code:

BugCheck 3B, {c0000005, fffff88004929817, fffff88008382900, 0}

Probably caused by : atikmdag.sys ( atikmdag+90817 )

Hey did a sweep and reinstalled Catalyst 10.12 drivers but unfortunately just got a BSOD again this time with no description of the cause watsoever

I've been having all sorts of problems with the 10.12 drivers. Then why I clean them out and try and go back to 10.11 or 10.10 the installation fails and I'm back to the 10.12. Are you using the CCC2 software?

CCC2 ?
I'am using the catalyst control centre software and i downloaded the 10.12 package with openCL drivers. I haven't got a dxgmms1.sys or a BSOD to indicate it was the driver/video card fault but i have been getting other BSOD's so it may be coz of 10.12

I'll switch over to 10.11 and give that a try.

They've come out with a nice new version of the old Catalyst Control Center.
