ATIKMDAG.SYS
I wasn't able to locate anything in the event viewer that would explain this around the times the BSODs occur. I also analyzed the crash dump and it keeps pointing to atikmdag.sys (one of my crash dump bugcheck analysis is at http://www.vistax64.com/vista-hardwa...tml#post765915 in case you want to see it). Also, the BSOD does not consistently occur during any specific program - it happens randomly. Sometimes it occurs 2-3 times in a day and sometimes I'll go for 2-3 weeks without any problems. The problem also sometimes occurs if I rebooted recently, or also if I rebooted 1 week before. It's this randomness that makes it so frustrating because I can't seem to pinpoint the issue. When I contacted MS, they also kept blaming the ATI drivers. But, when I contacted ATI, they denied responsibility. I'll try updating the chipset drivers from the BIOS to see if that works any better after the BSOD recurs since I isntalled 8.9. I appreciate all of your help. -- mehuh |
