BSOD while playing WoW, error 0xA0000001
This has recently started happening. I logged on WoW and began to notice these weird texture issues. It looks like a bunch of black lines all over the place. At first, I thought it was a WoW issue but it turns out to happen in any other game or any thing that requires graphics such as a video. It only blue screens on WoW. I haven't tried it on other games with the current drivers. I spoke with one of the Battle.net blue posters and we tried a bunch of things. I uninstalled all display drivers and used driver sweeper to get the left over files. I reinstalled the current version but got the same issue. I installed the new 12.11 beta drivers but got the same issue. I rolled back to 12.8 I believe and although I didn't get a blue screen on WoW, I was still getting the graphic issues. I tried DOTA 2 with these graphics and got the same thing. Instead of getting a bluescreen with those drivers, the game would randomly crash or become unresponsive. I suppose that's better than BSOD. I tried to do a system restore to last week but all of my restore points are from after the problems started.
I did a blue screen log check and got issues with the driver atikmdag. I don't recall installing anything in the past week that would cause problems just out of the blue. This actually happened to me a few weeks ago but I did not get a BSOD. I was getting those graphical issues and thought it was WoW. I ignore it and when I logged back in, there were no errors. This was about 3 weeks ago.
I hope this isn't a huge issue that would cause me to have to spend a lot of money. . I have yet to do a full restore because I'm saving that as the last option. All help is appreciated.
