First I have a Acer desktop , Windows 7 (64bit), and AMD Radeon HD 6320 graphics (built in).
Yesterday I was watching a video and my system Blue screened. PAGE_FAULT_IN NONPAGED_AREA.....atikmdag.sys.
I assumed it was a video crash but just ignored it. Today it didn't crash but I noticed that graphics seem to be getting stuck. Hard to explain: The system wasn't freezing up but parts of open programs would remain onscreen or the background wallpaper would show through a part of the program where it shouldn't. Anyway, I decided to use a program named "Display Driver Uninstaller" from Guru3D.com to uninstall my drivers to do a fresh install.
It was recommended to boot into safe mode to do this so I did. Ran the program and when finished, rebooted my system.
I expected the add new hardware utility to pop up but it didn't. Windows only installed a basic "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter". If I try to update it, it claims to be already up to date. I downloaded the latest drivers from AMD but they will not install.
Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?
