BSOD while playing games.

[AlexRussel]

Fresh install of Windows 7 (installed it yesterday).

This is the info that I received after I restarted my computer before I got BSOD'd:

Problem signature:
  Problem Event Name:	BlueScreen
  OS Version:	6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1

This is the BSOD error:

*** STOP: 0x00000116(0x84900510, 0x8DD3E310, 0x00000000, 0x00000002)
*** [COLOR="Red"][B]atikmpag.sys[/B][/COLOR] - Address 8DD3E310 base at 8DD38000, DateStamp 4e68f2c5.

Cause I've seen atikmpag.sys, the first thing that came up in my mind at that moment was that my video card driver is the problem.

I attached my BSOD report.

So, could someone help me? :S

TDR116 is often caused by a badly installed driver, a defective graphics card or bad RAM

Test these components,

You have an old driver, Sensaura WDM 3D Audio Driver(Probably an old sound card) that isn't even compatible with Windows 7, its driver dates back to 2004. Please remove this device from your system as such drivers may cause problematic situations.

Remove Avast for troubleshooting purposes

Post back with the test results.

I can't test GPU: MEMTEST, because my graphic card doesn't support CUDA, it's a Sapphire HD 2600 PRO 512 MB, BUS 128, AGP.

For how long should I test the RAMs?

And yeah, i've been having weird problems with sound, loosing it randomly, if I'll search for a latest sound driver, I'll find one?

Thank you, Yowanvista.

 

[AlexRussel]

EDIT: I ran it for 1 hour, but I can't put the screenshots, because after the program completed the test, it said is not responding, so it didn't created the screenshots.
All I have to say, is that i had 0 errors, no artifacts, so I guess the video card is fine.
The temperatures were at 58 min. / 62 max.


This is the GPU: OCCT test, running for 7 minutes only. (Test Complete without errors)
Should I run it for 1 hour as you said?
Thank you, Yow.

This is the BSOD I am getting b4 I uninstalled Avast and the Audio Driver and I started Ice Age 2, after 1 min screen froze after some seconds the BSOD came up.
Should I next uninstall the video card driver and install a old one?
Tonight i am gonna start the RAM test.

Since the latest version seems to be causing issue I'd recommend using an older one.

No you won't find any new driver for such an obsolete sound card. Remove it from your system and see if it fixes your issue.

What were the results of the RAM test?

 

[AlexRussel]

Are the GPU: OCCT temperatures good after running it for 1 hour?
P.S: I had no errors or artifacts.

I haven't tested the RAM yet, I'll post when.
Also my sound card is onboard, so I just removed the driver, now I have no sound.

Yes your GPU temperatures are in the safe range.
Do at least 7 passes with MemTest and post back with your results.

 

[AlexRussel]

Thank you Yowa, I will do this right now, btw is something wrong with my graphic card then if I can't use GPU: MEMTEST with OCCT?

I installed the 11.12 driver for ATI, and I have the same freeze issues in games, only in games, it never froze on startup or when surfing the internet.

Alright, here are the MemTest infos, took me 5 hours and 8 minutes 7 passes:

WallTime = 5:08:27
Cached = 1024M
RsvdMem = 12K
MemMap = e820
Cache = On
ECC = Off
Test = STD
[COLOR="Red"]Pass = 7[/COLOR]
[COLOR="red"]Errors ECC Errs = 0[/COLOR]


[COLOR="Red"]*****Pass complete, no errors, press ESC to exit*****[/COLOR]

 

[AlexRussel]

Bump.

GPU Memtest cannot be performed on AMD cards.
If you have a spare PC you could test that AGP card. Something could be wrong with it.

Can't test it, my other PC has PCI slots.
But I tested it with Fur Mark (7 minutes of run) & OCCT (1 hour of run), the temperatures were good, no artifacts or pixelations.

Software cannot always fully test components, a manual check is always recommended.
