Hi, yesterday I came to a pretty hard problem to deal with.
Out of nowhere my PC has shutdown, I have turned it on again but after the windows logo showed up I saw the blue screen of death with this title:
VIDEO TDR FAILURE
Cause: atikmpag.sys
I did my research tried various methods and it just doesn't want to work.
What I found out is that by uninstalling the AMD graphics drivers from Device Manager in Safe Mode, I am able to boot normally to system with default Microsoft display driver, but every time when I try to install fresh and new AMD drivers again, at about 70% of the AMD Adrenalin installation the monitor loses signal and then the PC seems to be working but with no video signal. I naturally tried to reboot the PC but the BSOD happens again in a loop.
I also tried manually changing the "atikmpag.sys" files, but my computer seems to not have any of those files on the disk and the same is for ATI folder in c: drive, it is just missing. I am out of my mind now, can someone smarter than me help me out here?
System Spec:
