ATi Tool error in Event Viewer

I uninstalled ATI Tool about a month ago, yet there are still ATI Tool related error messages sprinkled throughout my Event Viewer. This is what the error is:

"The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:
ATITool"

Why is it there? Has ATI Tool not uninstalled correctly? *Bang Head :banghead:

Help please.

2 questions 1: keep seeing secure boot errors in event viewer. 2: do i have to update bios after uninstall/reinstall graphics drivers (to fix bsod errors)

Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

Regarding your questions:

1. Secure Boot Errors:
   
   • The secure boot error you're seeing in the event viewer suggests that the Secure Boot feature is not enabled on your system.
     
   • Secure Boot is a security feature that helps ensure your system only boots using trusted software. If it's not enabled, you may see these types of errors.
     
   • To fix this, you can try enabling Secure Boot in your system's BIOS/UEFI settings. The exact steps may vary depending on your motherboard, but you should be able to find the Secure Boot option and enable it.
     
2. Updating BIOS after graphics driver uninstall/reinstall:
   
   • Generally, you don't need to update your BIOS after uninstalling and reinstalling your graphics drivers.
     
   • Updating the BIOS is typically only necessary when there's a specific BIOS update that addresses a known issue with your hardware or when you're updating to a newer BIOS version that adds new features or improvements.
     
   • Uninstalling and reinstalling graphics drivers is a common troubleshooting step and doesn't usually require a BIOS update.
     
   • Disclaimer: Microsoft provides no assurances and/or warranties, implied or otherwise, and is not responsible for the information you receive from the third-party linked sites or any support related to technology.
     
     If you are going to modify BIOS Settings, please back up all your personal files first to ensure you do not lose data.
     

Regarding your system information:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor
  
• GPU: Radeon RX 580 series
  
• Windows OS/build: 19045.4651, Win 10 home 22H2, 64-bit
  

This configuration should be compatible with Windows 10 and should not have any issues with the Secure Boot feature, assuming your motherboard supports it.

If you continue to experience BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) errors even after the graphics driver uninstall/reinstall, there might be other underlying issues that need to be addressed. In that case, you may want to consider checking for any BIOS updates from your motherboard manufacturer, as they could potentially address any compatibility or stability concerns.

Let me know if you have any other questions or if you need further assistance with this problem.
