Very frequent Video and flash BSOD (atikmpag.sys + atikmpag.sys) - Windows 7 x64

[wheat89]

So, whenever i try to watch a movie or little vid, my system crashes. It has been doing this since i bought it and i never managed to fix it.
I reinstalled windows many many times and updated the drivers more than i can count.
It's really ironic that i runs crysis without any struggles but cant handle a youtube vid or sometimes even gif xD
I would be a very happy man i you can help me.
Kind regards.

It looks like your display driver is causing problems, evidenced by the bugcheck, the fact that you can run crysis and not youtube videos and the error code in the bugcheck seems to emphasize this.

It's adding data onto the stack which is causing a fault, it seems that its causing a hang in the display driver and hence the bugcheck.

We can see the DirectX video scheduler preparing a DMA buffer, it then begins to remove allocations followed by setting up a paging buffer which looks to be the source of the crash.

I recommend an update for your display driver, download the latest version.

 

[wheat89]

Well the problem is that i did that a lot, in every possible way, updates, full reinstalls but it keeps happening

 

[Jared]

Try a beta driver or different later drivers.
It's difficult to find a good driver sometimes.

Do you have another card you can try?

 

[wheat89]

Well i have an old 4890 but that ones likely more defect than this one

 

[Jared]

It's always worth a try, there isn't many bad ideas when it comes to troubleshooting.
