Windows won't start, BSOD after boot screen
atikmpaq.sys failed
Error 0x00000116
I had this error 2 weeks ago and tried 3 various Acronis images and the same error occoured.
I reinstalled windows and everything was fine for 2 weeks but now I have the same problem.
I reinstalled again but now when I install any catalyst driver (tried 4 different ones) the same error occours.
This is not an overheating problem as windows won't even start at all.
The problem is as I can't start my computer so I can't get at any dump files or use the BSOD tool.
Having to run windws without graphics drivers which defeats the object of having such a powerful card.
Spec:
Win 7 Ultimate
Processor: Intel Q9550
Memory: 4GB Corsair Dominator PC2-8500
Motherboard: Asus Maximus II Formula
Graphics card: Radeon HD 4870 X2
Sound card: SupremeFX II HD Audio
PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower 850W
I hope this isn't a fault with my card as it's very expencive and only 18 monthe old.
Hope someone can help.
