Windows 10: BSOD from time to time while playing games

Hello all,

I have a problem when playing certain games- I get crash caused by atikmpag.sys. Before that I had problem with atikmdag.sys. Sometimes I can play few days without crash, sometimes i get a crash. For example, in gta 4 i get a crash after 2mins.

GPU is MSI 6850 OC 1GB
What I tried:
-SFCSCAN -passed
-Fresh and updated windows 10 installed
-Tried with latest catalyst drivers and with beta crimson drivers. *(Didn't tried with drivers that Windows 10 has to offer)*
- Downloaded SEAGATE tool for testing HDD. All short and long tests passed. No bad sectors.
- GPU tested in Furmark

-Latest BIOS installed
- PSU has enough watts and amperage.
-Temperature of gpu is 75 max when playing games at full load.
-Crashes happening with a stock CPU and overclocked , no difference.
-Tried with EXTRACT atikmpag.sy_ method...
-I run windows memory diagnostic and memorytest from windows, all good.
-I run Intel burn stress test-system is stable

When I run driver verifier, I got that 3 drivers are not verified- atikmpag.sys, atikmdag.sys and some atihd...something. Now i get update for Audio Device AMD and its verified. Still first two left unverified.
Im using Avast antivirus program. Now I will put exclusion for drivers folder, just to be sure.

Now Im runing driver verifier, still no BSOD.

BSOD caused by hal.dll and ntoskernal.exe

Hi,

it's been months that i keep having BSoD while I play games, I reinstalled all my softwares (also a total format and reinstall of windows 10), I verified all the drivers I could think of and also tried to use th GPU integrated in my MB to make sure it wasn't
a GPU problem: it keeps casually happen; sometime it goes on for days while I play heavy games without BSoD and then BLAM! all goes blue while I was playng an old game from 200x (last time was with NWN2,
so you know what I mean).

I fear there may be problems about the harware of my MB, but I'd like to be sure before buying another one.

My minidumps can be foun there:

BSODs, help plz

So I updated the software and firmware of my NAOS 7000 mouse and also the two other drivers. However, my laptop still gets the BSOD with the Memory Management stopcode while I was gaming. After that, I unplugged my mouse and started playing my CSGO again,
but using the touchpad this time, trying to test if my mouse was the cause. Unfortunately, the BSOD still occurs(also memory management). There is one strange thing that I don't know if it is worth mentioning. I never encounter any BSOD when I was playing
the cracked version of CSGO. However, I always encounter BSOD when I was playing the genuine CSGO from Steam and other online games. Dump files below.

I run memtest86 for 13 passes, 0 errors. So its drivers of gpu or windows somehow...

 

I will try with a Microsoft drivers now via update.

One thing that I noticed is in GPU-Z , now I have checked support for OPENCL but I didnt have it with catalyst instaled

 

I made some progress on windows 8.1 with old drivers version 13.9....

 

I think I found solution but need more testing. I think that MSI Afterburner was causing the crashes. Im on 14.4 drivers now and installed only dipslay driver not CCC but I think its not drivers problem but afterburner.

 

Nope , still crashes but what I done next:
- In Afterburner, i downclocked the card. I have MSI OC version which is bumped to 820/1100 mhz from factory 775/1000mhz. For 2 days no crash. Still, thats a small time frame for conclusion.

If crash, i have a few other solutions to try:
- Bump a voltage a bit to GPU
- TDR tweak in windows registry (google it)
-reseat and clear PCI slot and card
- delete atikmpag.sys and atikmdag.sys files and then reinstall drivers again (doubt in that method but worked for some people)

I passed Heaven and Valley benchmarks on ultra even before downclocking a card.
Ill report what I have done.
