Windows 10: Repeated BSODs, even after fresh install.

Hi. I"m not new to the PC game by any means and I've done all the troubleshooting I can think of and even learned some new tricks.


I got a new PCIe capture card Elgato 4K60 Pro for Christmas. I went to put it in. Everything worked fine for a couple hours, then multiple BSODs start firing. Memory_Management, KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED, as well as several others. No culprits listed no *.sys ever.


So, I took out the card and uninstalled the drivers. Still errors. I ran MemTest86 with 10 passes. No errors. I ran Windows Memory Diag tool. No errors. I nuked the OS and installed fresh after re-installing the capture card. Multiple BSODs. I have ensured the mobo is clean and everything is seated properly and all power cables are connected correctly. I've done various troubleshooting steps, including updating drivers, doing clean installs of drivers, etc. It happens at random intervals.


Since I know they're useful, here's a link to a bunch of .dmp files from my system. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Multiple BSODs in a fresh install of Windows 10


Daemon tools, Alcohol 120% and Power Archiver Pro uses SCSI Pass Through Direct (SPTD), which is a well known cause for BSOD's.
Please remove Daemon Tools and run the SPTD pass through remover.

1. Uninstall Daemon Tools
2. Download the SPTD standalone installer and follow these steps:
   • Double click the executable to open it
   • Click on the button shown below

If the button is grayed out, like in the image, there is no more SPTD installation on your system, and you can close the window

BSOD- atikmpag.sys

This is most likely due to an installation/upgrade error with ATI driver's. I suggest doing DriveSweeper and the following:

• Drivesweeper all drivers & in Safe Mode
• Unistall all drivers that aren't used in DriveSweeper (CCC Profiler Updates, MSI AfterBurner, anything related to ATI that use's it's drivers.)
• After you do this, the first thing you need to do is go into Device Manager and Unistall your ATI Drivers

Once your done, restart the PC and then try installing the latest drivers.


I had several issues with this in the past, but I overcame it with logical reasoning and whenever I have a driver issue, I just use these steps and I always overcome the problem.

Best of luck! *Toast :toast:
