I have been having a problem with my 3870 X2 card while playing games. Every so often, about once a week or so, my screen will freeze, go black, and then give me a BSOD blaming 'atikmdag' for the problem. I've downloaded the newest drivers/catalyst, updated mobo chipset, run memtest, and verified that my PSU is powerful enough...but I have had no luck solving this problem. I called ATI and they basically told me to update the graphics driver and chipset, which I had already done.
This isn't a huge problem, as my comp runs fine 99% of the time and only freezes while i'm playing a game...but I would really like to know what the problem is so I can avoid any potentially damaging problems.
