ATIKMPAG.SYS BSOD and TDR failures at seemingly random times.

Monk1995 · May 5, 2017

Hi,

I've had this AMD R9 390x for around half a year now and ever since I've got it I've been getting BSODs randomly while doing random tasks. It can be watching a video on the web, opening a program, playing a game. The screen will freeze, go black and half of the time blue screen but the other half of the time I get a notification from the task bar saying something along the lines of 'Display driver stopped responding and has recovered - Display driver AMD driver stopped responding and has successfully recovered'. I've come to learn that this is a TDR Failure and searching around the web I see a lot of people have the same issue and it seems to have something to do with atikmpag.sys and atikmdag.sys. I've only had atikmpag.sys pop up in my errors so far and have tried every fix I've come across to no avail.

I have followed the main 'fix' in this Graphics driver stopped responding and has reco... | Community.
I have reinstalled the drivers on multiple occasions.
I have moved the .sy_ file onto desktop, expanded with cmd and replaced the driver with the new one.

But still nothing. I'm hoping someone can point out why my issue is any different from the others who've posted online.

Thanks

Also another thing to note is if the system does recover from the freezing/blackscreen without bluescreening, it seems to run smoothly with no further hiccups until it is restarted. This may just be me not noticing when the last one occurred however.

Done. Not sure if relevant but I've had the system for around 8 years now (store bought) and each part has been changed so I now have none of the originals. A year or so ago a windows update caused windows to think it wasn't genuine and I had no idea how to fix or revert it so had a friend take a look at it who fixed it by running a program but said I might need to do it again if it thinks it's not genuine again.

**** Also quick update ****

I ran a VRAM test - Here
Wasn't entirely sure how to get it to use the full 8gb but I think I had it run unrestricted.
It came up with 0 errors.
Also downloaded and ran memtestCL and it came up with errors on random blocks but looking around other amd users are saying it might be a bug with the test itself

Layback Bear · May 6, 2017

The installation is counterfeit.

You have a Asus aftermarket motherboard.
Once you change the motherboard, Microsoft considers it a new computer.

A new computer can not legally have a OEM/SLP COA key.

From your posted log.

Windows Product ID: 00359-OEM-8992687-00007 Windows Product ID Type: 2 Windows License Type: OEM SLP

Please read the forum rules.

Windows 7 Help Forums - Forum Rules

4) No piracy or discussion of piracy allowed at all. Such as software, music, videos and other intellectual property violations (e.g. downloading youtube videos locally etc).

You will need a legal installation of Windows 7 and other program so we can help you.
Using your friends crack program will not be good enough.
A new log will have to be posted again and it will show the crack.

You will need to buy Windows 7 with the proper matching COA key.
One must be careful, because their are a lot of crooks selling counterfeits.

Monk1995 · May 6, 2017

Ah thanks so I need to get a new windows key. This can't be the cause of the issue in question though, right? As I didn't have any problems before I got the card and there was a long period of time between windows saying I wasn't genuine and the issue began (When I initially got the card).

Layback Bear · May 6, 2017

Please read my post #4 again. I have updated it.

Jack

Monk1995 · May 6, 2017

Just read it, yeah. Buying a copy right now but where do I go about activating it? When I type 'activate windows' it comes up saying 'Activation was successful' and doesn't show anywhere to enter a new key?

Layback Bear · May 6, 2017

Have you done a clean install of Windows 7? I don't think so because of the short time between post.

Just buy Windows 7 and do a Clean Install and then use the COA key that came with your Windows DVD and activate it.

Jack

Monk1995 · May 6, 2017

Hey man, yeah actually doing one right now. Will report back to see if a clean install actually fixes the problem. Thanks for pointing the counter fit thing out by the way. I wasn't aware my original key wouldn't be viable anymore

Monk1995 · May 9, 2017

Okay, thought I posted a reply but looking back seems I didn't hit post.

Havn't had time to test the system properly since the clean install to see if it's helped at all.

I have no idea where you are getting your COA keys but your installation is still counterfeit.

This Microsoft site will explain things.

Windows License Types Explained

- OEM SLP and COA SLP product keys, are issued by large computer manufacturers and use SLP (System Locked Pre-installation) technology to bind the license to the original motherboard via the BIOS and software.

The OEM SLP keys self-activate if the corresponding data in the BIOS is correct. OEM SLP keys, which the user can read in the MGADiag report or software like KeyFinder, cannot be used by the end user to manually activate Windows. The COA SLP key is printed on a sticker affixed to the side of the computer case (desktops), or on the bottom of the case (laptops), or in the battery compartment (newer laptops). This is the key for the user to enter manually should he need to activate Windows himself.

Oh god, really? I paid a fair bit of money for that key too :/
I'm sorry but I don't think I'll be able to get your guys help then as I'm seriously tight on funds right now as I would have just switched to another GPU otherwise. Problems have persisted after the clean install too so not sure where to go with this.

Thanks for taking a look but I understand your guys rules on the matter at hand :/

Layback Bear · May 20, 2017

Please keep in mind, you can't buy a legal Windows 7 COA key by it's self.
Legal COA keys come with the legal proper Microsoft DVD.

Their are a lot of crooks selling all kinds of counterfeits of Windows 7 and their COA keys.

Jack

axe0 · May 20, 2017

Layback Bear, their should be there

Their is a Possessive pronoun, like 'it is their system'
There is a pronoun pointing to something, like 'there is a place in Paris that is wonderful (disney land)'

Layback Bear · May 20, 2017

There = Place, location.

Their are a lot of crooks = Is not a place or location.
and their COA keys. = Is not a place or location.

That is my understanding but I'm not a English scholar or teacher.

Jack

axe0 · May 20, 2017

'there' can be used both literally and figuratively.

There are a lot of crooks.

It is pointing to something.

I believe this is more correct.

There are a lot of crooks selling all kinds of counterfeits of Windows 7 and their COA keys.

There is pointing to the crooks being at many places.
their is pointing to the COA keys belonging to the OS.
