Hi,
Just finished up installing everything and everytime I start something that needs a resolution change,
Boom, i get BSOD.

Video Playing, 64bit Internet Browsers, Games, everything its crashing.

BSOD says "atikmpag.sys" as problem.

Am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit, with graphics drivers that came with the card.
See sig for pc configuration.

Device Manager says.
Driver Version as 8.782.0.0
Driver Date as 9/28/2010

Please suggest me a fix asap.

Lol, first i thought it was RAM, later saw the BSOD carefully and it is GC :s

Get the latest catalyst drivers & display drivers from amd support.

Ok, already put that in download.
But 4 months old driver has so much compatibility problem?

I mean, this **** is not able to play even videos atm, only mp3's, forget gaming...

mp3 playback is dependent on vga card and drivers?

Nope they aren't thats why, it was playing fine.

Btw i just install 11.1 drivers, everything seems running fine atm.

^^ If you face the prob again try remounting the card.

BTW, glad to hear that your prob has solved.

Thanks topgear
