Windows 10: Please help me, I get "TDR error, atikmdag.sys" after 10 mins of gaming on a New build.

Type: Desktop

GPU: No

CPU: Ryzen 3 2200g with integrated Vega Graphics.

Motherboard: MSI A320m pro vd/s v2

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2400mhz 4gb ×2

Operating System Version: Windows 10 Pro

Hello, I get that notification in the notification center and I get a black/blue screen every time I click on the start button or anything windows related, but the processes still run (say I was watching a film, and I can still hear the music even after black screen).

I get the display back after I press win+ctrl+shift+B, what it apparently does is reset the graphic drivers, but the black or blue screen occurs again after a second and is super fucking annoying. I tried installing all the drivers version (Vega 8), the problem remains the same.

When I use an Application like a game that is barely resource intensive, it gets stuck and says, "TDR error, atikmdag.sys and restarts".

And, when it does that and I login to win10 and check the notif center I see that both the Application and the Windows operating system itself was apparently blocked access to Graphics hardware.

I must mention that my PC is new, I have memtested the rams, scanned the system, reinstalled win 10 thrice (once with internet). I am using the processor graphics itself so there must be no problem with the hardware.

I don't get that error in safemode or if I uninstall the drivers, but don't tell me that it's probably because of wrong drivers coz I had a ticket regarding this issue with AMD and they sent me a couple of links to the drivers.

No overclocking. Tried disabling global cstate option.

Please help me.

Atikmdag sys???

Just got a custom built computer from cyber power pc and within two hours got a Blue screen of death with Atikmdag sys. What the hell does that mean and how can I fix it?

 

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

What build of Windows 10.

What is the system spec.

I can't guarantee this will work but it's worth running checks first.

If method 2 fixes faults then run method 1 again.

Method 1:

System file checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.
Run system file checker (SFC) and see if it helps. Please follow these steps:
a. Press Windows + X keys and click command prompt (admin). Or PowerShell (Admin).
b. Type the following command in command prompt and press Enter.
sfc /scannow

If it does not help, use method 2.
Method 2:

Run DISM tool and check the issue. Please follow these steps:
a. Press Windows + X keys and click command prompt (admin). Or PowerShell (Admin).
b. Type the following command in command prompt and press Enter.

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

If the problem persists:

Try a clean boot and see if the problem persists.

Make sure drivers are up to date.
