BSOD Caused by Drivers leads to atikmdag.sys crash.
I don't mean to be bland, but I'm extremely stupid when it comes to troubleshooting errors that happen outside of the 'click repair and it's fixed' zone. Treat me like a disabled child. I think I saw one or two posts SIMILAR to this but I couldn't follow them at all, I needed more baby step guidance.
I'm not sure what leads to the crash, but every so often (3 times today actually, and it's 1:20 PM) my computer bluescreens. I'm on a fresh install of Windows 7 64 bit, all of my computer drivers were installed within the last 4-ish days from the driver disks.
I am using a ASUS R9290 graphics card, a AMD 8-CORE FX-8350 4.0GHz processor, and a GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3P AM3+ motherboard with 16 gigs ripjaws RAM and a 1000 watt psu.
I installed all of the drivers from the disks, so I'm not sure what went wrong. One thing that I've been doing is trying to install windows 10 a few times, all of which failed and reverted.
This one windows desktop error has occurred a few times now, however I didn't write down the name of it. I'll post it when it happens again.
