New Comp, constant crashing after installing drivers. (atdcm64a.sys)

[Evanescents]

This is my first time building a PC and it starts to crash after installing the AMD drivers. I have tried to install the drivers from multiple source, the motherboard drivers CD, the graphic card CD, download from the AMD website. The crashing starts after a few minutes from installing the drivers and will continue to crash a few minutes after the reboot. I ran verifier.exe and found out the the possibility of the atdcm64a.sys error but i dont know how to solve it.

Thank you for your time

Welcome aboard, Evan

Most probably you have installed an old ATI driver of January 2010. You should upgrade it , go to AMD Support & Drivers to get the updates.

[Evanescents]

I ran the AMD Automatic Detect and Install software but it saids I already had the latest drivers installed...

P.S ok ignore that i just tried to open the AMD VISION engine control center and it cant be opened.
i will post an update after i download and install a driver

P.S.S for some reason, i got the unable to load detection driver while trying to install the latest driver, may i ask how to fix it?

 

[Arc]

You are to get the ATI DSM dynamic driver only, not the entire crystelite control center .

 

[Evanescents]

Er... I got the Unable to load detection drivers error when attempting to install the driver, btw how do you download only the ATI DSM dynamic driver, doesnt seem like i can find it at the AMD website
Does save mode prevent you from installing drivers cause im in save mode to prevent any crashing just my journey to fix my comp

 

[Arc]

Download and install Driver Sweeper .
Boot into http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/666-advanced-boot-options.html, and select safe mode (without networking).
Search for Driver Sweeper in your start menu.
Select all ATI component and clean them.
Now try to reinstall the driver.

You install the downloaded latest version of your graphics driver, try to disable the Crystalite control center during installation .

 

[Evanescents]

Ok did exactly as told, wipe out the ATI component with Driver Fusion (updated version of Driver Sweeper) then reinstalled the latest version. Crashing still happens after a few minutes...

Thank you again for all your time

 

[Arc]

Can you upload the new dump please ?

 

[Evanescents]

I dont see any new dump... I think it's because the crash is a screen turn complete white (or colorful) crash and not a BSOD so i dont think that it saved any dumps.

 

[Evanescents]

After a few more tries of uninstalling and installing my drives, I've managed to have my computer stayed up for the whole night without crashing. If my comp didnt crash for the next few days, I will change this thread to solved.

 

[Evanescents]

Forget what I said, it just crashed
Again, no dump from a white (color) screen and freeze.

 

[Arc]

That is not crash actually, but some glitch from the graphics card. As you said that it is a new custom built, can you have the card replaced ?

 

[Evanescents]

Ok maybe my speakers are crashing my computer. I closed my speakers and left it for the night, and it didnt crash. And now i have my speakers turned off, and it works fine and didnt crash... speaker issues that causes computer to crash? possibly?
Forget this it still "crashes"

 

[Evanescents]

That is not crash actually, but some glitch from the graphics card. As you said that it is a new custom built, can you have the card replaced ?

ok ill try it

 

[Evanescents]

I fear that the chances of changing one would be low because I brought the parts awhile ago then I've only been building it in the past few days... Is there any way to fix these glitches without changing the graphic card?

 

[Evanescents]

I tried to switch my old graphic card and my new one to see if it would run properly but my computer still "glitches" on my old graphic card...

 

[Evanescents]

Just got a random BSOD. Here's the package with the new dump.

 

[Arc]

It still indicates to the same thing ... atdcm64a.sys

[Arc]

BTW, do you, by any chance, have driver verifier enabled ? If so, disable it .

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/101379-driver-verifier-enable-disable.html

Bugcheck c9 can occur due to DRIVER_VERIFIER_IOMANAGER_VIOLATION. So, if you need not to monitor any driver via driver verifier, disable it.
