BSOD randomly on P370 Clevo laptop when loading random programs
The first problem with this issue is that it is erratic, it tends to happen alot, or only once or twice each day.
I basically load up the laptop, load for example Chrome GMAIL and bang BSOD, load it up again, load up Spotify and BANG BSOD. Load it up again and load Chrome and nothing its fine, and then its fine the entire session I use it.
Its a custom built Clevo P370m Laptop using dual Radeon 7970m graphic cards. I have attached a zip of all the files after running.
I just want to give you a brief overview of what I have already tried.
1) All the issues stem from ATIKMDAG.SYS at least thats what BLUESCREENVIEW seems to suggest, see image below:
So I tried following a guide about manually expanding the atikmdag.sy_ file to pull it out and replace the existing file in c:\windows\system32
That didn't work
2) I tried checking some hardware conflicts in the Device Manager so I checked the hardware ID's of my Graphics cards and then compared them to some hardware ID's of some SYSTEM DEVICES I had, audio controllers, they matched so I disabled the audio controllers, and that seems to stop the crashing. See image below:
However the audio controllers reactivate and the bluescreen seems to continue.
Conclusions
I believe its a directx conflict with the Radeon drivers, I could be wrong hence the reason I am enquiring with you guys, as this has been going on for a while now and I have just tolerated it as I don't use the laptop as much as my main PC, but its a great laptop and the blue screening seems to be getting worse (or my tolerance for it is getting less)
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!
