BSOD on startup, Attempt to reset display driver failed (atikmpag.sys)
Hi! So okay. I hope I'm at the right place for this.
Last year my laptop suffered from a pretty hard crash just when I was opening Spotify (pretty strange). I managed to get the computer up and running again after many factory resets, un/installations of drivers and so on. Don't remember half the things I did back then.
But since then I've still suffered from DSODs, like every time I restarted the laptop or something like that. But after some BSODs I've always got back in the computer, so I kept on living with it sort of. But recently the laptop just kept on crashing everytime it came on to the "Welcome..."-loading screen. Sometimes it works but its rare, but Safemode works fine.
The error the BSOD throws me is "Attempt to reset display driver and recover from time out failed" with the note pointing to atikmpag.sys. I've searched and tried so many different solutions I would like to think but I feel the need to get some help on this actually.
Followed the instructions for creating a log and below is my specs:
