BSOD after downgrading from Win10 Pro to Win7 Ultimate
Hello all!
This is the first post I'll be doing in this generous website of yours. I recently had issues with my MSI GX660 laptop. (It's quite old, yep)
So about 2 months ago, this laptop was running seamlessly on Win10 (Cracked) and DeBloated by TRON. I could not remember when, but for some reason - one morning when I woke up and I turned the laptop on, it went to BSoD. It was the first time it did that, then it restarted. It booted to the regular Win10 desktop and I was able to use it normally.
Then came the next few days, the BSoD crashes became frequent. I don't recall encountering the BSoD crashes when running a specific app, it just crashes randomly. So I got tired of the crashes, and decided to do a clean install of Win10. Same version I was using before everything happened.
Clean install done, then I was trying to update the drivers and, voila! The BSoD appears again after I updated the Graphics Driver. I paid close attention to what was happening and I noticed that it was the "atikmdag.sys" file that's causing the crashes. So I did my research and nothing has helped so far.
I am currently on Win7 Ultimate and when I tried to update my drivers, the BSoD screen shows agaaaaain. The only way I could get my laptop to boot normally is to do a System Restore before I installed everything here. I decided not to put anything until I get this BSoD crash fixed.
As instructed, I have attached the Dump file and a link to my Google Drive as well. This has been a nightmare that has been going on for almost 2 months now. I just wanted to use my laptop like I was able to do so before.
I hope the experts here can help me out. I have read fixes posted by others here, tried them - but I am willing to give any step another shot.
