Windows 7 BSOD Only Occurs While Playing Path of Exile: Driver Issues and Minidump Analysis

Abzolute · Jun 7, 2016

Hello, my computer only BSOD when I play Path of Exile.
It's fine when it plays any other game or any other task, but only when playing this specific game do I have issues.
Before it was an issue of my display driver constantly stop responding while playing the game, and now it became a BSOD issue.

Here is the minidump file.

Probably caused by : atikmdag.sys ( atikmdag+115792 )

Hi,
bugcheck 50 means invalid system memory has been referenced and is usually caused by drivers although hardware (RAM) as well as AV suites can also be involved.
The dump file says it could not read the faulting drivers name although I can see in the Call stack the the gpu driver was indeed involved.

Code:

FAILURE_ID_HASH_STRING:  km:x64_0x50_atikmdag+115792

Please use this application to remove your current AMD driver as it will also remove anything else left behind by previous driver installs
Display Driver Uninstaller

AMD released a new driver today:
Link Removed

As you had a bugcheck 50 please uninstall AVG and just use MSE for now:
Microsoft Security Essentials - Microsoft Windows

Please run a malware scan (it's free):
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium

I also found this driver:
ajtykt2l.SYS Thu Nov 27 12:14:42 2014: Any ideas?

dtsoftbus01.sys Thu Jun 20 08:22:51 2013: Daemon Tools driver Possible BSOD issues in Win7 remove to test.

Your device drivers could do with updating and you also have Bios updates relating to stability. Please don't attempt to update the bios unless you know what your doing.
You can use your motherboard support for drivers:
Link Removed

Try the above changes and see if the bsod continues.

Post any new dump files.
