BSOD While Gaming 0xA0000001 Atikmdag.sys
Hello, I have been having on ongoing issues with atikmdag.sys. This all started with BF3 after playing for 10 minutes, than it happened again, after about 1 hour and 30 minutes in. Then I move onto Borderlands 2 a few days later, and about 2 hours in, same exact BSOD. Then after about 3 hours in game again, I get a black screen this time for about 5 seconds, then game returns to normal. And now today, just installed FarCry3 and BSOD within first 10 minutes. For the last month I have been looking around the web for a fix, installed latest drivers, clean-installed them, installed beta drivers. None of that worked and I could not find a thread that is similar to mine with a fix. The closest thing I found to my problem is this thread:
BSOD atikmdag.sys while playing some* games
Even then it was recommended that he switch to a Nvidia Card. My computer is a custom build, not even 2 months old and I'm quite depressed as it may look like I'm out $200 dollars.
Here are my PC specs:
FX-6300
M5A97 LE R2.0
G SKILL Ripjawz
Rosewill Green Series 630w
Gigabyte 270x Windforce 2GB
I should also point out that this computer does not have overheating problems, as CPUID HWMonitor shows CPU never reaching past 49C and GPU never going past about 69C. I also ran a test (Windows Diagnostic RAM Tester Something) and it showed no errors in my RAM as some forums suggested. At this point I am very desperate to find a fix. I just want to know if this is a hardware issues or still a software issue. Otherwise my best bet is to send the 270x into Gigabyte for repairs.
-Thanks!
