    Frequent BSOD when starting up and playing games


    Hello, I've just recently experienced BOSD (about a week) and I'm not sure what to do, so usually I just restart my computer. It first occured when I was playing the Sims3, then it also showed up when I started my laptop but not always. Sometimes it didn't happen at all. Please help me solve this. Thank you.

    comp specs:
    HP Pavilion dv4 Notebook PC
    Windows 7 Home Premium
    Processor : Core i5 2410M 2.30GHz
    Memory : 4 GB (2 stick)
    System : 64 Bit

    Your graphic card drivers need updating:

    Code:
    3: kd> lmvm atikmpag
    start             end                 module name
    fffff880`04778000 fffff880`047c4000   atikmpag   (deferred)             
        Image path: \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\atikmpag.sys
        Image name: atikmpag.sys

    Use the following method for installing the latest version:

    2. Download the auto-detect tool for AMD.

    3. Boot into Safe Mode from Advanced Boot Options:

    4. Type in Driver Fusion in Search
    5. Remove all drivers
    6. Boot normally now, and install the latest drivers from the
      auto-detect program you downloaded.
