Recently i updated to Catalyst Driver 14.9

Last night it was working just fine. Then today after I turned on my PC to play Dota 2, it suddenly went BSOD on me. At first i thought it was the temp of my CPU. So i opened Speccy and the temp was around 54C (Same as the reading on my Bios) w/c is like my everyday CPU temp. Then suddenly after i closed Speccy it went BSOD again. Did this a couple of times and even tried to Open other games like Dragon Age: Origins and Transformers: Fall of Cybertron and the moment the "loading screen" for the game appears, it directly goes to BSOD. I tried opening Adobe CS:6 and it also gave me the same results.


Some things you need to know:

  • >>I used memtest but it said there were no problems
    >>The Processor is newly bought and was installed as an upgrade from my previous A4-5300
    >>Also installed a new cooler, Gammaxx S40 didn't fit at first but was able to make it fit (although a bit too tight i think)
    >>Google chrome keeps on crashing. Also having problems loading pages that uses flash and will suddenly go into BSOD

Hope someone can help me. It's like having a big paperweight if i can't use my system properly.
 


I do but, i would reserve it as a last result. I would like to know the reason why the BSOD occured because w/o knowing, i might do the same mistake again.
 


I ran the "Auto Tuning" from Catalyst Overide then set it to 4500mhz just to see if it worked. Reverted back to stock speeds after a few hours since i was reserving the overclock once i buy a Better RAM and GPU.

I have a DeepCooler GAMMAXX S40 installed before i overclocked.
 


All the links are posted above on my 1st post and I have indicated everything there.

Also as I indicated, the clock speed is back to stock speed.
 


When you said "installed", did you mean Software, Driver, or Hardware.
 
I could not find any actual memory .dmp file to look at. only a summary of the errors. if you are still having issued, put the actual memory .dmp file on a public server to be looked at with a windows debugger.

Also, I think the amd catalyst 14.9 driver was broken
 
I'm having the same problem and I just installed the new Catalyst Driver update (14.9). I can run safe mode fine but my computer tends to lock up or BSOD when I'm downloading from Steam or watching videos on YouTube. My guess is 14.9 isn't compatible with something in windows...
 


Does yours occur only on steam games? or other apps as well?
 


I'll try, to get the dmp files. but the BSOD attacks comes so often even before i could actually finish copying the log.
 
I would need the actual memory.dmp binary not a txt file



 



Check main thread (1st post), i posted there the actual Dmp files. all 4 of them. And i also post updates there regarding as to what is happening on an everyday basis
