    BSOD after installing new AMD Driver – Problem with atikmdag.sys


    Hey guys,

    I have got a problem with my graphics card.
    There was an update for my graphics card and I did not feel bad about updating this.
    Since last midnight (after that update) then my computer freezes after couple of minutes (when I boot normaly) and I get a BSOD immediately. But when I uninstall those graphics card drivers or I reboot to safe then it's all fine.

    I have uploaded a .zip file following your instructions.

    I removed all pirated stuff that I have known of.
    Hopefully we can start troubleshooting, I'm sorry for the circumstances.

    There's another .zip in the attachments

    Edit: There were another BSODs that have occurred

    Please cleanup your hosts file, this isn't a solution, I see some traces from piracy like below.

    Please try to install the drivers using following tutorial AMD Graphics Drivers - Install Without Catalyst Install Manager

    Have you tried to reseat the GPU, or seat the GPU into a different slot?

    I followed your suggested tutorial and during the driver installation, my computer got another BSOD, but after the reboot, I repeated the process and in the end it says that the drivers were already installed, which I don't understand.


    I'll try reseating and seat it on another slot, and give back an answer afterwards.

    I removed the graphics card once then booting, fine. Next, I seated it in the same slot and now for about a hour and a half, a BSOD doesn't happen luckily.

    Thank you very much for your help, I keep watching if this issue occours again.
    So if that happens, I'd give a report here.
