    Drivers update causing error on pc


    Yesterday my windows pc did a drivers update and suggested a restart, after around an hour of restarting I figured something was wrong so turned it off and back on and now every time I turn on my pc I get an error message with stop code inaccessible boot device. I took all troubleshooting steps available but haven't got anywhere closer to resolving the issue. I wasn't able to even launch in safe mode as I kept getting the same error message. I then decided to completely reset my pc as this was the only option left and now I am still getting the same error message, however it is now impossible

    :)

  3. Repeated Crashes and Boot Errors Apparently Caused by Driver Updates

    This is up to step 10. I assumed "/fixoot" was a typo and tried "/fixboot." Should I proceed?

    Possible Causes of atikmdag errors

    I was courious to see how many different causes there are to the infamous atikmdag.sys error that strikes widely across and has so for a long time, I am getting it myself also and it is really starting to wear me out. It is pretty annoying having a $520 Readeon 3870x2 card if you can't use it without errors.

    So first of all, here is the apparant reason for my atikmdag error:

    When I play a game, regardless of settings, clocks or anything else, the fan speed wil not be adjusting and the card will get hotter as it performs. As soon as the card gets hot enough, my system will attempt to speed up the fan and as soon as they do, I get the atikmdag error. I never hear the fan of my card go beyond 30% fan speed unless I push it using Rivatuner.

    Anyone else got other apparant reasons?

    By the way, here are the steps I have been trying to fix it
    • Renaming atikmdag.sys to "atikomdag.sys(old)
    • Set fan speed profiles in Rivatuner depending on temeprature thresholds
    • Setting fixed fan speed in Rivatuner
    • Installing only the ATI drivers without Catalyst Control Centre
    • Replacing RAM blocks
    • Trying older drivers
    I have probably tried a few
