    BSOD on wake up, atikmdag.sys


    Currently running Windows 10 Build 10041.

    Without fail, every time that I wake my computer up, the resolution is far lower than it should be, and only two of my three monitors work, then the screens flash twice, and I get a BSOD, saying VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE (atikmdag.sys).

    Attached are the log files.

    Attachment 21432

    I have tried uninstalling the drivers using a driver remover and then reinstalling the latest, but to no avail.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

    The first step would be to update your build?? Currently at build 10130 officially. And 10135 has been leaked (But i wouldn't bother with it until it is released officially. Lot of problems were fixed since 10041.

    Well I rolled back the build thinking it was related to the build update, but alas it wasn't true. I'll update and let you know if anything changes.

    I can't check the logs as I'm at work and don't have access to WinDBG, but a 0x116 is pointing to the graphics card so it could be a power issue (what PSU do you have?), a driver issue, overheating or a bad card among other things.

    Do you know what temperatures your card is reaching at idle and under load?
    Try reseating the card and the power connector/s, ensure they're fully seated.

    Update to Windows 10.0.130 (or wait a few days for the next drop 10.0.136 ?????) See if that alone helps, if there still are issues:

    Until MS has the official working driver, try the beta driver (15-5) - the latest non-beta driver (14-12) helped in previous releases, but as of Win10.0.130, I needed to get the beta.

    The current AMD driver offered by Windows Update is a bit wonky.

    You are using a non GCN architecture card (6870...) and AMD/MS are focussing on optimizing their new DX12 drivers for the most recent architectures before starting to support "legacy" cards to full extent.

    I for myself have a GCN 1.0 card which is quite old as well.

    I can offer you the same advice as Slartybart if you want to be on the safe side. Both of those drivers should work no problem.
    Use Wagnards DDU 15.0.0.3 uninstaller which you can download from guru3d for example, if you didnt already mean this by "driver uninstaller"

    If you are interested in a more performant solution tho' i can reccommend trying those drivers which in case they work will give you an additional performance boost vs the beta 15.5 or the 14.12 (WHQL):

    AMD Catalyst 15.x Win Mod (15.200.1023.3 May 14) with VSR unlocked - Guru3D.com Forums

    I expect you had either 1023.5 or 1036/1038/1040 on your comp that didnt work, is that right?
    Even if you had 1023.3 it is worth trying my link because the driver is enabled to work with some of the older cards as well.

    Don't get too confused with WHQL by the way... the certification means nothing more than AMD paid a little sum of money to get a driver signed.

    Let us know if it worked for you, whatever solution you picked ;-)

    Hey guys, sorry that it took so long to respond, I haven't had time to mess with the rig for a while.

    I have a 680W PSU, and with Furmark the max was 87 oC, so nothing too crazy.

    I did a clean install of Win 10 10130 (it wouldn't update after I rolled it back, even after I changed the registry, etc etc), which then automatically updated to 10162 and also installed a new driver for it (15.200.1023.7, which is weird because I installed the 15.2 beta driver before...), which I believe has fixed the issue. I now have another issue, upon startup the car doesn't like the DisplayPort adapters (Which are AMD Certified), and changes the resolution to crap. I then have to physically unplug and re-plug the two in to fix the issue.

    As I replied to Windows automatically downloaded a new driver, and the original issue has been resolved. Now I just have to figure out why the DisplayPort adapters (DP to VGA) keep malfunctioning.

    Glad the Windows updrate helped with one part of the puzzle. Please feed MS the information (feedback app) on the new issue (DP to VGA). AMD and MS only have a short couple of weeks to hammer out these wrinkles before the 29 July release date.

    Still nothing, even with the latest build update (10240)
