I got this cdd.dll's BSOD

[DeMoN3]

Hi guys.

From some days, sometimes, I got this cdd.dll's BSOD. How can I solve it?

I try with sfc /scannow (with some errors, I've the logs) and I dumped the bsod...they're attached to this post.

Thank you for the help


edit: sfc log is huge (about 7MB), so I'll upload it only if you really need it

Could not read faulting driver name
[COLOR=Red]Probably caused by : cdd.dll [/COLOR]( cdd!BitBltBitmap+228 )

---------

cdd.dll is display related element. Actually cdd stands for Canonical Display Driver. So, this BSOD indicates to somehow graphics failure.

And a deeper search reveals that the AMD display driver is failing.

*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for atikmdag.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for atikmdag.sys
 atikmdag+0x2eedc1

It more reveals that the driver is outdated, which may be one of the causes of the display failure.

Update your ATI/AMD display driver to the latest WHQL.
You can get it from the link in our forum, http://www.sevenforums.com/graphic-...alyst-video-driver-windows-7-a.html#post17671, or you may go to AMD Graphics Driver and Software and opt for Automatically Detect and Install the appropriate driver for your card.

During installation, you may opt for advanced installation, and install the display driver only, not the Catalyst Control Center.

Let us know the results.

Ok, thank you. Now I'm downloading the latest driver (but it's really strange that they're so much outdate, I formatted and re-installed my OS (and drivers too) in August...

Furthermore: today I got another BSOD, about rdyboosts.sys ...do you think that those errors are linked each other?

Hi again.

I'm installing the new driver downloaded from ATi's website, but it's a "legacy" driver and it tells me that my drivers are already updated. Probably it's due to the fact that my graphic card (HD4870) is a little old

How old teh card is? Does it not support the newer drivers?

Radeon HD 4000 Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

HD Series were released in 2008. If I choose HD 4xxx series from ATi's website it shows me this legacy driver (for HD <=4xxx series)

Probably, for xmas, I'll buy a new vga, but for the moment I've to hold this one
