BSOD 116---Help, please!
Recently my laptop started getting the blue screen error 0x116. Near as I can tell, this is an issue with my GPU. When I try to boot my system up, it gets to the windows screen then the screen goes black, and then bluescreens after 5-10 seconds. Because of this, I can't run my computer without being in safe mode. I have an ARI Radon Mobility HD 4650 which I believe to be 1g ram and DDR2, but I could be wrong. The blue screen error message lists a file atikmgad.sys, or something similar, as well as other error codes. I tried using the properties window for my GPU to update the drivers, but they were up to date, according to windows. I tried to roll them back, too; after, I could boot up in normal mode, but once I got to the desktop it seemed that the GPU failed, because everything got blocky and green, as if all skins were gone. I also read it might be an issue with the GPU BIOS? Since I'mI in safethe node, i'm alsogetting more or lessless unable to installthe tools. Please, I desperately need help, as I'm getting nowhere fast on my own.
