Hi Krishna,

To troubleshoot the issue, follow these methods:



Method 1:

Possible Causes of atikmdag errors

I was courious to see how many different causes there are to the infamous atikmdag.sys error that strikes widely across and has so for a long time, I am getting it myself also and it is really starting to wear me out. It is pretty annoying having a $520 Readeon 3870x2 card if you can't use it without errors.

So first of all, here is the apparant reason for my atikmdag error:

When I play a game, regardless of settings, clocks or anything else, the fan speed wil not be adjusting and the card will get hotter as it performs. As soon as the card gets hot enough, my system will attempt to speed up the fan and as soon as they do, I get the atikmdag error. I never hear the fan of my card go beyond 30% fan speed unless I push it using Rivatuner.

Anyone else got other apparant reasons?

By the way, here are the steps I have been trying to fix it

• Renaming atikmdag.sys to "atikomdag.sys(old)
• Set fan speed profiles in Rivatuner depending on temeprature thresholds
• Setting fixed fan speed in Rivatuner
• Installing only the ATI drivers without Catalyst Control Centre
• Replacing RAM blocks
• Trying older drivers

I have probably tried a few

 

Blue screen error: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you receive DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE Blue screen error. The DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE bug check has a value of 0x0000009F. This bug check indicates that the driver is in an inconsistent or invalid power state. For more information,
see
Bug Check 0x9F: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE.



However, it would be great if you can share the Minidump files with us, so that we can analyze them and assist you accordingly. To share the dump files, navigate to
C:\Windows\Minidump, upload the files to OneDrive and share the OneDrive link.



Meanwhile, I suggest you to try booting the computer into Safe Mode and see if you are able to boot the computer into Safe Mode. Refer the steps mentioned in the article

Start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10.



If you are able to boot the computer into Safe Mode with Networking, try performing clean boot on the computer and see if the computer boots.



Performing a clean boot will start the computer with minimal set of drivers and programs, to determine whether a background program is causing the issue. Some of the Startup programs will not load after performing a clean boot on the computer. However,
that functionality will return when you reset the computer to start normally after finishing the troubleshooting.



To perform a clean boot on the computer refer to the article How to perform a
clean boot in Windows.



If performing a clean boot fixes the issue then, please refer to the section
How to determine what is causing the problem after you do a clean boot
to check which program is causing the issue.



Note: Please refer the section Reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting
to boot the computer in to normal mode after troubleshooting.



For additional information, see
Troubleshoot blue screen errors.



Let us know the results.
