    atikmdag.sys error BSOD at startup


    I have SONY VAIO VPCEC35FG Laptop with ati mobility radeon hd 5650 gpu,i m getting atikmdag.sys error BSOD at startup.
    I have tried 12.1,13.11,13.12,14.4,14.9,14.11,14.12 version of the drivers, i have tried the expanding and copying the atikmda.sy_ file from the amd folder method but still getting this error.

    the problem started initially when i updated my driver from 13.11 to 14.12 , intially i was not getting any error ,then while playing games my screen froze and crashed , i tried and uninstalled the 14.12 driver and installed 13.12 it was working for a while smoothly until 2 days ago when i started getting BSOD at startup,
    i have formatted the pc and reinstalled windows still when i install the ati drivers it gives atikmdag.sys error at startup.

    Try using the one that Sony offers, I know it's older but that may be what you have to deal with right now,

    Yeah, it's the video driver again,

    Code:
    BugCheck 116, {fffffa8005a804e0, fffff8800419f40c, 0, 2}
    
    Unable to load image \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\atikmpag.sys, Win32 error 0n2
    *** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for atikmpag.sys
    *** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for atikmpag.sys
    Probably caused by : atikmpag.sys ( atikmpag+640c )

    You can give this a try,

    1. Go to Device Manager and expand Display Adapters.

    2. Right click on your adapter and choose properties.

    3. Select the Driver tab and choose uninstall.

    4. When finished, reboot the computer and let Windows install the available WHQL driver.

    Hopefully that helps with that.

    I notice you're also missing a couple drivers,

    Code:
    Base System Device	PCI\VEN_1180&DEV_E230&SUBSYS_9071104D&REV_00\4&1EAEF792&0&01E1	The drivers for this device are not installed.
    
    PCI Simple Communications Controller	PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_3B64&SUBSYS_9071104D&REV_06\3&11583659&0&B0	The drivers for this device are not installed.
    This should be for the top one,

    Sony eSupport - VPCEB3SGX - Drivers & Software

    And the Chipset driver should be the bottom one,

    Support for VPCEC35FG : E Series (VPCE) : VAIO
