Hi all, great looking site you have here. I discovered it while tearing my hair out trying to look for a solution. Anyway, to the point.
Over the past two weeks I have had 4 BSODs. 1 around two weeks ago, and three in the last two days. I had two on the 14th so I updated to the latest ATI 10.10 but I had a BSOD again today.
I only had it with one game, unlike others, that was demanding on the PC. However, I had one with another game that was a predecessor so the engine was similar. I doubt it is an issue with any of the games.
I downloaded a tool called BlueScreenView and in all of the dump files ntoskrnl.exe was highlighted. One of them also had atikmdag.sys listed. That's ATI I'm guessing but I updated the drivers after that. I have read discussions about ATI being a major cause of BSOD.
I don't know what is exactly at fault (I would think GPU related) as I have seen discussions that blame all sorts.
PC (built myself):
- Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium
- Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping 2.66GHz
- 4870 512MB GDDR5
- Samsung SpinPoint F1 1TB SATA II 32MB cache
- 6GB RAM DDR3 PC3 (2GB sticks)
- Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R Intel X58 PCIE DDR3 Motherboard
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
