Windows 7 BSOD - BCCode: 1000007e - atikmdag.sys

[ChazzK]

I've recently had my computer give me a few strange crashes; twice while playing Champions Online but several days apart, it just froze up, gave a graphical glitch, sound stuttering and computer restarted. Then finally, I got an actual blue-screen, giving several error codes and also referencing the file atikmdag.sys. After doing some checking around, I saw a fix that involved reinstalling the drivers, going in and manually expanding atikmdag.sy_ and replacing it. Obviously by the fact that I'm here, this didn't work, and it happened outside the game while just watching a full screen video. This time on restarting I actually got a pop-up listing the codes:

BCCode: 1000007e
BCP1: FFFFFFFFC0000005
BCP2: FFFFF8801118BDBB
BCP3: FFFFF88005BDB368
BCP4: FFFFF88005BDABC0
OS Version: 6_1_7601
Service Pack: 1_0
Product: 256_1

I am currently running Windows 7, 64 bit, Professional.
I have also attached the .dmp file, would anyone be able to look over this and help me find something I might be missing?

Hi,
as you can see your dump file is blaming the actual GPU driver. Try this, uninstall the GPU driver using this application as it will remove any other old bits of driver lying around from previous driver installs:

If after making the above changes you still get a bsod please run Memtest86. You can download the latest version here:

Thank you for the advice, I'll give it a shot when I get home tonight and let you know. With how infrequent the problems occured I'd like to give it a while before confirming but that sounds very helpful.
