BSOD Attempt to reset the display driver and recover from timeout fail Windows 7

[hetr94]

Hello

Every time I try to use my pc, even if I'm playing or doing anything at all, the screen will turn pitch black, and then the blue screen of death appears. It says "Attempt to reset the display driver and recover from timeout fail" (as you can see below). My gpu is AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series. I tried reinstalling the driversm but that didn't work. I really don't know what to do now.
Please help!

Full system specs:

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
x64-based PC
Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3220 CPU @ 3.30GHz, 3300 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
8gb Ram DDR3

BSOD:

Attempt to reset the display driver and recover from timeout fail

** STOP: 0X00000116 (0XFFFFFA8006DF24E0, 0XFFFFF880044A9E98, 0X0000000000000000, 0X0000000000000002)

What is your graphics driver version, make a note and see what is the latest driver available, use stable driver and avoid beta versions at this point it will just confuse the issue.

I have the 15.30 version. I think it isn't a beta version, but I'm going to check that anyway. I checked the link and it looks pretty useful. I'm going to try and fix the BSOD using that thread. If anything happens I'll post it here

I followed all the instructions that were explained inside that post and the BSOD still shows up. The firts time it showed up it did not say "Attempt to reset the display driver and recover from timeout fail" nor "** atikmpag.sys - Address FFFFF880044A9E98 base at FFFFF8800449D000, DateStamp 5661c291". Only the "STOP..." appeared

In a situation like this its sometimes best to ensure your windows is up to date. Download bluescreenview application either 32bit or 64bit depending on your OS which can help analyze bsod dumps logged by windows. This application can help you do a google search related to different parameters of the bsod.

Update: It should also give you more details of the drivers that are failing.
