Solved BSOD, normally when pc not doing much/screen saver on

[modcar]

Hi;

My pc has started blue screening over the last 4 months or so, it seems to do it when I'd consider the pc to not be doing much. Its happened a few times where the pc is asleep, and simply wont wake up.

Ive run CPU and RAM tests, but they have come up clear.

Sort of at a loss now - any help appreciated

from where did you get your windows install? you have a custom built machine but the edition of windows you have (enterprise) is only sold as a volume license, if this PC belongs to a company please contact your IT department about this problem. If (as I suspect) the install is counterfeit then who ever sold you the copy of windows/installed the copy of windows likely ripped you off and (again if I am correct here) if the install is counterfeit I will have to ask you to purchase a legal copy of windows format and then re-install using the new legal copy.

Windows is provided by my work, however the pc hardware is mine.

Again I dont want to step on any toes here, but since you asked for help it seems that your graphics card driver is failing:

fffff880`0318c7f8  fffff880`05862bf1*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for atikmdag.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for atikmdag.sys
 atikmdag+0x4abf1

looking at the time stamp on the driver we can see it is very old:

kd> lmvm atikmdag
start             end                 module name
fffff880`05818000 fffff880`0614e000   atikmdag T (no symbols)

Please update your driver from here: Error
