Newly build HTPC getting "Kernel Security Check Failure" on Win10...

strkd · 17 Oct 2015

Hey guys!

I just build a new HTPC with Windows 10 Pro (free update from Windows 7 Ultimate), but I keep getting the Kernel Security Check Failure on it.

No pattern what so ever on when it occurs.

Attachment 43146

WhoCrashed gives me following information (I know it shows the wrong date, system time was set a day ahead. Getting same error after fixing time as well):

Hi strkd,

Welcome to the 10forums.

The result of WhoCrashed is useless as it doesn't contain any information regarding a lead of what could cause it.
As this is an upgrade, it is recommended to do a clean install as it may solve a lot of problems.

The crashes are caused by the AMD Video driver

Code:

*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for atikmdag.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for atikmdag.sys

A few outdated drivers

Thank you for your quick response!

I made a clean install of Windows but after that I still recieved BSODs, so I made a driver check and saw that the audio drivers that was just installed were very old. So I updated them and also the BIOS of the mobo, and after that I have not recieved any more BSODs. So hopefully it will work now, thank you for you help!

If the problem will reoccur, I'll be back!
