Atikmpag.sys BSOD on ATI HD5970
Hi guys,
I'm having a major problem with the "atikmpag.sys" BSOD error whenever I try to play video games (and the occasional random crash too). Oddly enough, it never happens while rendering in Cinema 4D, so I've pretty much ruled out it having something to do with how intense the GPU usage is. Here's my system:
OS Version: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate, Service Pack 1, 64 bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz, Intel64 Family 6 Model 26 Stepping 5
Processor Count: 8
RAM: 12279 Mb
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon HD 5900 Series, 1024 Mb
Hard Drives: C: Total - 50814 MB, Free - 5883 MB; D: Total - 953866 MB, Free - 444793 MB; E: Total - 610477 MB, Free - 196002 MB;
Motherboard: ASUSTeK Computer INC., P6TD DELUXE
Antivirus: Microsoft Security Essentials, Updated and Enabled
I ran Memtest from a bootable CD overnight and it didn't find any errors. I've also uninstalled the card in Device Manager + removed all drivers using Driver Sweeper and tried both the latest and older drivers from ATI's website to no success.
I have attached the Windows minidump if that helps. Any and all help appreciated, I'm really wanting to go with a new NVIDIA card thanks to this thing
