Hi,

SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000007e)

This indicates that a system thread generated an exception which the error handler did not catch.

BugCheck 1000007E, {[COLOR=#4b0082]ffffffffc0000005[/COLOR], fffff88003c8a3a3, [COLOR=#ff0000]fffff88004dfd4b8[/COLOR], fffff88004dfcd10}

1st argument indicates an access violation occurred.

1: kd> .exr 0xfffff88004dfd4b8
ExceptionAddress: fffff88003c8a3a3 ([COLOR=#ff0000]atikmdag+0x00000000000123a3[/COLOR])
   ExceptionCode: [COLOR=#4b0082]c0000005 (Access violation)[/COLOR]

The violation was caused by the ATI/AMD video driver. Why?

On the instruction we faulted on, we failed adding a pointer that was stored in rax. rax = 0000000000008600 (invalid), and that's why we bug checked. Ultimately we were trying to store a dword in eax by dereferencing rax.

Ensure you have the latest video card drivers. If you are already on the latest video card drivers, uninstall and install a version or a few versions behind the latest to ensure it's not a latest driver only issue. If you have already experimented with the latest video card driver and many previous versions, please give the beta driver for your card a try.
