Windows 10: What would cause this? These errors keep happening

I checked for Windows updates and the driver updates that I know how to check. Sometimes it happens when I'm in the middle of a game, and sometimes the computer is idle and it will auto-restart. This last time with these error messages, I was playing a game and the screen shut off. The computer did not reboot, and I could not get the screen to turn back on, so I held down the power key until the PC turned off. When I turned it back on about 10 minutes later, it was working fine, then suddenly reset again.Anyway, it says hardware error, so I'm not sure if this could be the monitor or what it c

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
