Windows 10: BSOD due to AMD drivers

Windows randomly BSOD's, almost always with "KMODE EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED" with no brackets after. One BSOD was "KERNEL SECURITY CHECK FAILURE". They would happen once a day. Then stopped for a week. Happened again once. Stopped again. Now started again, today it was twice. I have some minidumps if someone could help analyze them: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1d1I_ui0UiKXK26nlZIoK-Q66xepRJjK0 .Windows memory diagnostic found no issues with RAM. I'm pretty sure its a driver error, because I tried using driver verifier. When I did it on all non-microsoft drivers It wouldn't eve

SSD samsung evo and amd drivers

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

The issue could be because of the AMD drivers installed on the computer.

Since the Samsung SSD is working fine with the Microsoft AHCI driver, I suggest you to update the AMD driver and check if that helps. To update the AMD drivers follow the steps from the article

Update drivers in Windows 10.

If updating the drivers didn’t help, I suggest you to roll back the driver to previous build and check if that helps. To roll back the driver to previous build follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Press and hold the Windows + X key on the keyboard.
   
2. Select Device manager.
   
3. In Device manager, expand IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers.
   
4. Right click on AMD SATA Controller and select
   Properties.
   
5. Navigate to the Driver tab and click on Roll Back Driver.
   
6. Restart the computer.
   

Hope it helps.

BSOD- atikmpag.sys

This is most likely due to an installation/upgrade error with ATI driver's. I suggest doing DriveSweeper and the following:

• Drivesweeper all drivers & in Safe Mode
• Unistall all drivers that aren't used in DriveSweeper (CCC Profiler Updates, MSI AfterBurner, anything related to ATI that use's it's drivers.)
• After you do this, the first thing you need to do is go into Device Manager and Unistall your ATI Drivers

Once your done, restart the PC and then try installing the latest drivers.


I had several issues with this in the past, but I overcame it with logical reasoning and whenever I have a driver issue, I just use these steps and I always overcome the problem.

Best of luck! *Toast :toast:
