Full Screen applications causing Atikmpag.sys BSOD - HD Radeon 5970
Hello,
I have been having issues where at first it seemed to be random Blue screen crashes, but now think it only seems to happen if i try to run a game in full screen. Even just uninstalling the AMD drivers causes me to BSOD mid un-installation process.
The blue screen says the file name "Atikmpag.sys". I don't normally game on my computer so i never really noticed this error in the past. There were a few instanced where i would randomly blue screen with the same "Atikmpag.sys" but restart and i was good to go. Only now when my friend has told me to get a couple of games i BSOD at the startup usually when the screen goes black to attempt to full screen. Not just 1 game though, iv tried several all showing the same BSOD message without even getting into the game.
Also just in Steam trying to go to "Big Window" Causes stream to crash with an error of resize buffer failed.
So like i said in the begining was a once in a while crash but now it seems to be something with full screen i think, but im a noob at this so not entirely sure. Iv researched around and tried to follow a lot of the suggestions such as reinstalling and such with no success.
I have updated my profile here to show my current system specs. But for quick reference;
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Intel Core i7 920
8GB RAM
AMD ATI HD Radeon 5970
WD 2TB HDD
850 WATT Cooler Master
I have updated Windows and there are no more updates available through "Windows Update" aside from optional Language packs. I have .NET Framework 4.5 installed. I have tried uninstalling all of the AMD drivers using Catalast install manager and reinstalling but i have also used driver sweeper to completely uninstall all of my AMD drives as the install manager seemed to miss a few and even after a restart and installing the newest drivers again and then another restart i still blue screen if i try to full screen.
I have attached a zipped copy of "SF_Diagnostic_Tool" output.
If there is any other information that is required or could help pinpoint an issue let me know and ill get it.
Thanks for any help
Bob
