Solved GRAPHICS_DRIVER_TDR_FAULT 0x116, constant atikmpag.sys BSODs

Problem solved by memory voltage change

I had TDR faults several times a day for weeks - very frustrating. I swapped out components (RAM, PSU, graphics card) and fiddled with BIOS settings to no avail, until I read some advice to newbies about taking some care with RAM voltages.

I bumped my RAM voltage up from the recommended 1.65 V to 1.8 V and the problem went away instantly - haven't had a single BSOD for over a week.
