Windows 10: Ntoskrnl.exe & atikmdag.sys BSOD

Dear all,
Today I've updated my windows to the latest version and my graphics card driver and a weird thing happened.
I got a BSOD at first was indicating IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and then it was SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M
I was quite shocked since my PC is new as my windows (genuine) and I don't have any weird apps installed..
What could be the problem? It goes blue in random times mostly when I play videos or games..
Thanks for your time..

:)

 

BSOD - atikmdag.sys & Crtitical Structure Error

I installed Win10. I installed a game which kept causing a BSOD with atikmdag.sys. I fixed the issue by copying the atikmdag.sys DLL from ATI to System32 drivers folder. The game launched after that.

However, now the computer keeps crashing with Critical Structure Error BSOD, and the solutions for them suggests upgrading driver for ATI which again takes me back to the first issue.

 

atikmdag.sys PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA BSOD Only when gaming.

Hi guys..
so this BSOD started happening 1-2 months ago ..
it happens only when i play games ( not to a specific game )

At first i got 2 ntoskrnl.exe BSOD


and did research to fix it and never got ntoskrnl.exe BSOD's so thats fixed ...all of the rest are atikmdag.sys

(used software WhoCrashed to find out).

This is the error description from the Who Crashed Software

crash dump file: C:\WINDOWS\memory.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: atikmdag.sys (atikmdag+0x1240B1)
Bugcheck code: 0x50 (0xFFFFD00020A15000, 0x0, 0xFFFFF8003A2B40B1, 0x1)
Error: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
file path: C:\WINDOWS\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\c0306711.inf_amd64_22668ece07e665a6\atikmdag.sys
product: ATI Radeon Family
company: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
description: ATI Radeon Kernel Mode Driver
Bug check description: This indicates that invalid system memory has been referenced.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: atikmdag.sys (ATI Radeon Kernel Mode Driver, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.).

Random system crashes caused by atikmdag.sys / ntoskrnl.exe

* Dump and msinfo32 file link *

Hello,

I recently assembled a Windows 10 desktop PC which has been getting random BSODs multiple times a day. The most common error I'm getting is "Page Fault in Nonpaged Area" caused by atikmdag.sys, but I've also seen other ones before, including:

• System Service Exception
  
• IRQL Not Less or Equal
  
• Kernel Mode Heap Corruption
  

I opened the .dmp file using BlueScreenView, and it points to ntoskrnl.exe as the problem driver. I've spent some time online looking up potential solutions and have attempted the following with no improvement:

• Ran sfc /scannow - No errors found
  
• Ran dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
  
• Ran error checking on OS hard drive – No errors found
  
• Ran Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool – No errors found
  
• Tested both RAM sticks using MemTest64 for 4 hours each – No errors found
  
• Booted PC running individual/both sticks of RAM – All configurations resulted in eventual BSODs
  
• Done multiple clean installs of Windows – BSODs eventually reappear after re-installation of base software and all drivers from the motherboard manufacturers support website.
  
• Uninstalled video drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller, then reinstalled latest AMD drivers
  
• Turned off Fast Restart in the Control Panel power options
  

At this point, I'm not sure what other tests I can run to figure this out. If someone would be willing to check out the dump file and give some clarity on this, I'd really appreciate it.
