atikmdag.sys OR atimpag.sys error BSOD on startup [Solved]

atikmdag.sys OR video_tdr_failure (atimpag.sys) error BSOD on startup [Solved]


You can face atikmdag.sys OR video_tdr_failure (atimpag.sys) error BSOD on startup with Windows 10, Windows 8 or with Windows 7. This is not your Motherboard r PCI-E card problem. It's AMD driver conflict between Microsoft onboard VGA AMD Driver and your PCI-E AMD Driver. Many people says that the 2nd method worked for them but many of them says it didn't worked for them too. So, I would recommend you to give it a try. If it works for you YAY...It's Party time and don't forget to invite meh ;)  haha....



1st Check this:
Boot into the bios and look at the bios rev on the main screen. asus on the older bios switch from a .rom to a .cap file. the newest bios has a lot of bug fixes and for windows 7/8. the other bug fixes are for ram and cpu code updates. there a usb flashback port to flash your mb without powering the mb on or put the new .cap file on a usb stick and use the bios updater inside of the mb bios. also make sure from the mb installer cd you did not install the Lucid Virtu Software V1.2.108.18765 for Windows 7 32bit & 64bit. it a know issues to crash windows and gpu when it tries to bond a ipgpu with a gpu.


I would also boot into safe mode..uninstall the ati drivers..get windows to boot into windows normal then install the newest intel chipset drivers then reboot. then try the ati drivers again.


If not working try this:
2nd Method,
Follow every step :


Step 1: Download and install the latest ati graphic driver.AND DONT TURN OFF OR RESTART YOUR COMPUTER AFTER INSTALLATION

Step 2: Then go to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers and rename atikmdag.sys to atikmdag.sys.old.

Step 3: Go to ati directory (usually in C:\ATI) and find the file atikmdag.sy_.

OR, .ITS LOCATED IN C:/AMD/AMD_CATALYST14.3BETA "or your version" /PACKAGES/DRIVERS/DISPLAY/WB6A_INF/B169191 then in the list there is atikmdag.sy_

Step 4: Copy the file to your Desktop directory.

Step 5: Open cmd.exe by going to Start -> type cmd in the search box and hit enter.

Step 6: Change the directory to Desktop by typing chdir Desktop.

Step 7: Then, type EXPAND.EXE atikmdag.sy_ atikmdag.sys. Or,

expand -r atikmdag.sy_ atikmdag.sys

Step 8: When the expansion is complete, copy the new atikmdag.sys from your Desktop to

C:\Windows\System32\Drivers

Step 9: Restart your computer and the problem should be resolved.
***Its not faulty Motherboard or PCI-E Card problem. The drivers is the main culprit here.
