BSOD Multiple After GPU/PSU upgrade, In Game at First, Now At Desktop

[stompjrkz400]

hey everyone, usually i can figure this stuff out on my own, im a technical computer science major, but right now im just stuck for once,

i have a hp p6520y quad core desktop which i purchased unmodified and working great, windows 7 home prem 64 bit

after 2 months of using the computer i upgraded to an xfx 7770 video card, and to a larger 550w logisys power supply.

after installing everything the computer crashes in games, deadspace 2 almost never crashes, max payne 3 crashes alot

sometimes it generates a bug error, and its always 0xa0000001 atikmdag.sys

i have removed and reinstalled many different drivers, and used driver scrubbers, with no change

but now my computer is crashing in games and i am getting 0x00000124 Hal.dll and
0x0000003b / 0x0000001e KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED ntoskrnl.exe

it just happened to me while installing a game, and it has happened to me in microsoft word.

i have all the bug files from the past month, and lot of reports, im just having a hard time sorting things out.


here is a list of crashes this month ( list is most recent to oldest )

Try removing CCC (Catalyst Control Center) and just have the ATI drivers installed.
(Thanks to usasma)

While the procedure below may appear daunting, just follow it one step at a time and it'll work for you. If you have any questions, just post them in the forums and we'll be glad to provide assistance.

NOTE: If you already have the ATI drivers installed, please use the Catalyst Uninstall Manager (in Control Panel...Programs...Uninstall a program) to remove all of the ATI video driver components. Be careful as you may uninstall AMD chipset drivers also - which will then require reinstalling them!. Here's a link from AMD about removing graphics drivers: http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles...csDrivers.aspx

1. Download the latest version of the Catalyst Software Suite from http://support.amd.com/us/Pages/AMDSupportHub.aspx .
2. Double click on the downloaded executable file (it's name will look something like this: 12-3_vista_win7_64_dd_ccc.exe ).
3. The installation will first stop at a screen which notes where the installation folder is (in my case it's: C:\AMD\Support\12-3_vista_win7_64_dd_ccc ). Please make a note where this folder is located as you'll use it later on to install the drivers. Then click on Next/Install to continue with the installation.
4. The installer then extracts the files to that folder and then launches the AMD Catalyst Install Manager. Click on "Cancel", then click on "Yes" to exit the AMD Catalyst Install Manager.
5. Go to Start and type in "devmgmt.msc" (without the quotes) and then press Enter when devmgmt.msc shows up at the top of the search box.
6. In Device Manager, click on the +/> sign next to Display adapters.
7. Right click on the display adapter and select "Update Driver Software".
8. Select "Browse my computer for driver software. Locate and install driver software manually."
9. Type (or paste) the location of the installation folder that you remembered from Step 3 (in my case it's: C:\AMD\Support\12-3_vista_win7_64_dd_ccc ) into the search box and ensure that "Include subfolders" is checked - then click on "Next" in the lower right corner.
10. Drivers will install (and screen may go black temporarily). System will then show a window that states "Windows has successfully updated your driver software" Click on "Close" in the lower right corner of the window (Screen may again go black temporarily).
11. And you're done!!!
    
    NOTE: If it says that the most current drivers are already installed - go back and uninstall all ATI video stuff (be careful as you may uninstall AMD chipset drivers also - which will then require reinstalling them!). Then run the procedure from Step 5 again (the new directory from Step 3 should still be there).

Also I suggest that you run Driver Verifier.

(Borrowed from Zigzag3143 posts)

Driver verifier

Using Driver Verifier is an iffy proposition. Most times it'll crash and it'll tell you what the driver is. But sometimes it'll crash and won't tell you the driver. Other times it'll crash before you can log in to Windows. If you can't get to Safe Mode, then you'll have to resort to offline editing of the registry to disable Driver Verifier.

So, I'd suggest that you first backup your stuff and then make sure you've got access to another computer so you can contact us if problems arise.
Then make a System Restore point (so you can restore the system using the Vista/Win7 Startup Repair feature).

Then, here's the procedure:

1. Go to Start and type in "verifier" (without the quotes) and press Enter
2. Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next"
3. Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click "Next"
4. Select everything EXCEPT FOR "Special Pool", "Force Pending I/O Requests" and "Low Resource Simulation" and click "Next"
5. Select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"
6. Then select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"
7. Select "Finish" on the next page.

• Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen.
• Continue to use your system normally, and if you know what causes the crash, do that repeatedly.
• The objective here is to get the system to crash because Driver Verifier is stressing the drivers out.

If it doesn't crash for you, then let it run for at least 36 hours of continuous operation.

Reboot into Windows (after the crash) and turn off Driver Verifier by going back in and selecting "Delete existing settings" on the first page, then locate and zip up the memory dump file and upload it with your next post.

If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.
If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from your installation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that you created.
