BSOD and atikmdag.sys
Hello everyone, my first thread here (and hope my last in this section ), but I have some problem that I cant solve myself since I know almost nothing about PCs. I desperatelly need help with some BSODs I have being experiencing since almost when I bought this PC (back at june with vista 32):
Intel Corse2 Quad 9550 @2.83GHz
Gainward ATI Radeon 4870 x2
4GB RAM
Windows 7 64-bit
No overclocking done
Very often during games that by no way my pc should have any problem, at least at the settings I am using, I will get some strange little red squares all over the screen along with some strange sound and then BSOD will appear. When I restart into safe mode everything will be fine, but sometimes when I restart again in normal mode I will get another BSOD. Also, when I used to have vista, the windows told me that "ATI drivers have stopped working properly" even though I had the latest version. Now that I have win7 though, windows will try to find a solution but nothing will come up (like I click on the button "find solution", the loading bar will appear but then nothing). And last thing (finally) is that for some reason CCC wont start and instead the message "CCC: Host Application has stopped working" will appear everytime I start my PC.
So that is pretty much all, I have tried myself many things like various versions of ATI drivers but no luck. Any, and I mean it, help is welcome, and if you need more info on my specs just ask, I will probably spam F5 all the time untill someone answers .
PS about the DMP files, when I open them with debugging tools, the 1rst one is about a ntokrnl.exe (nt+85d3b), while the rest about atikmdag.sys (atikmdag+126a0)
PPS also here is a driver scan DriverAgent.com - THANOS-PC , just in case an important driver is missing.
