Solved BSOD while doing homework / running queries in SAS

BSOD mentioned atikmpag.sys sounds like removing and updating my ATI drivers would be the best bet?

A genuine installation might also be a good start.

Counterfeit installations such as yours contains heavily modified code that causes the installation to behave it unexpected ways. Analysing BSOD's and determining their causes on these sorts of installations is very unreliable.

My recommendation is to start with a clean slate, and install a genuine version of Windows. This will minimise the problems you are experiencing, and make subsequent diagnosis of BSOD's far more reliable.
