I've been getting a BSOD after logging in my PC. Everything is normal at first, then the screen goes black. It flickers back to my desktop, then turns black again. This happens about 10 times, before the BSOD appears. The error: video_tdr_failure (atikmpag.sys).
[h=3][/h]I've already RMA'd my motherboard, GPU, and PSU. Previously my GPU wouldn't send a signal to my monitor. Now it does, but it BSOD. I've also reinstalled Windows. I am using the latest AMD drivers.
Any help is appreciated.

My specs:
Windows 8.1 64 bit
Gigabyte R9 270x
Intel i3 4130
Gigabyte B85-D3H Mobo

Thanks! I hope to contribute to this forum.

I did what you said to do, and and downloaed the latest beta driver. I downloaded this driver: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/latest-catalyst-windows-beta.aspx

Now when I log into my PC, the screen goes black after a couple of seconds. No BSOD appears. What older driver do you recommend I should try?

Hi ExcellentNoob ^_^,

Does the screen remain black forever after the login?

You could try the drivers provided to you with the Graphics Card Manufacturer on the Media Disc which came with the GPU. If you don't have a disc, I would recommend trying a version which is a few months older (Sorry, I don't use ATI ).

Oh my god. It's working now. I don't know what I did, but when I turned on my PC today it's working. Thank you so much! I'll do some testing being I mark this as solved.

Ok, it works but occasionally the AMD drivers "crash and has recovered". It doesn't happen very often, but I'd still like to get rid of it. Any idea on how to fix this?

Hi ExcellentNoob ^_^,

Are you able to get into Safe Mode and get to the Desktop? Have you tried leaving system on for some time after log in?

Sadly, I am not much familiar with Black Screens. I will ask usasma to post back here as he is more familiar with this :) . Kindly await his response.

Well, it's a combination of that problem and "Display drivers AMD has crashed and recovered". The times where I can get into my desktop, the drivers always crash. I might just take it to a shop, this is getting too frustrating.

I understand that this is frustrating. Kindly run the Display Driver Uninstaller linked in my previous post again and try installing an old version of the driver (Like 3-4 months earlier) and see if the issue is resolved or not.

If you are still facing the problem, then see if the problem is solved by the following registry fix -
TDR Fix (For AMD & NVIDIA Users) - OMG Debugging!!!

Use the registry instructions given below in the above post.

Is the download link broken? When I click "TDRFix" in blue, it takes me to this: http://omgdebugging.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/TDRFix.reg

And yeah, I tried an older version before. The problem was still there.

Hi ExcellentNoob ^_^,

Sorry for the late response. I had bad internet connection for the past few days. Earlier, it was working fine. Anyways, just right click on that link and click on "Save Target As" (In Internet Explorer. For other browsers there is a similar option) and then save the file. Once it is saved, double click to open the file and add the information to the registry.

Let me know how it goes ^_^

The screen freezes after I log in. I'm using the newest drivers, and I would get a black screen with the older ones.

Also just a question: Would this problem be resolved if I switched to an Nvidia card? This is probably impossible to answer without actually trying it.

And another thing: I'm using both Intel integrated graphics on my CPU and AMD's. On startup, my GPU fans sound like they are on 100% speed. I have to use Microsoft Fixit, </title> <link href="//az623152.vo.msecnd.net/cdnresources/1.51/content/smccss.css" rel="stylesheet" /> <link href="//az623152.vo.msecnd.net/cdnresources/1.51/common/css/default/fixit.css" rel="stylesheet" /> <link href="//az623152.vo.msecnd.net/cdnr, to make the fans go back to normal.

Hi ExcellentNoob ^_^,

Did you try the registry fix I proposed in my previous post? What was the result?

Are you also getting the same result if you log into Safe Mode?

Regarding the Graphics card switch, like you said, you won't know until you do it. Also, let's make sure that the temperatures are stable. Could you please place a table fan directly at the CPU after opening the case? This will make sure that the system is not heating up.

Let me know how it goes ^_^

Yeah, tried the registry fix and my screen goes black after seeing the Windows logo on startup. It works just fine in safe mode. And yeah, I'm monitoring my CPU temps with CPUID HWMonitor and they are at a constant 30-40 degrees Celsius.

Hi ExcellentNoob ^_^,

Did you try some other version of the ATI Driver? Are you still facing the crashes? If you are still facing problems, kindly upload a freshly generated SF Diagnostic ZIP file so that it could be analysed.

Yeah, still getting the black screen when I'm downloading the drivers and on log-in. I've tried older versions. I've attached the file to this comment.

Hi ExcellentNoob ^_^,

Sorry for the delay in response. I just needed a break :)
Unfortunately, there is no minidump for me to analyse. Can you please turn on Driver Verifier from this **LINK** and see if it helps in pin-pointing the driver?
Did you try other graphics driver versions?

Additionally, I have asked a senior to help on this as well :)

No problem! Thanks for your time and commitment.
After turning on Driver Verifier, my computer freezes after logging in, then the screen goes black.

Hi excellentnoob!

Just FYI - at work we try System Restore and if that doesn't fix it, we'll wipe the computer clean and reinstall Windows.
The reason for this is that there are many, many different things that could cause this.
In the past I've spent weeks trying to isolate these problems - only to resort to wiping the computer after all that time.

Another point is that I have (on my own system) and have seen in the forums that AMD seems to have more problems with their cards than nVidia.
For a while I had switched to nVidia, but my latest system has an AMD video card (and I have problems with it).
Presuming that this is a problem with the video card/drivers (this is most likely, but certainly not the only possible cause) - then switching cards would help. If you have an nVidia card to try, please do so. If not, you may want to try purchasing one from a shop that will return your money if it doesn't fix your problem.

Indications are that this is a driver issue - due to the changes when using different drivers, the problems when using Driver Verifier, and the fact that it doesn't seem to have this problem in Safe Mode. BUT, this can also be due to a problem with the card's hardware - for example, if an item in hardware isn't used when in Safe Mode, but is used in normal mode. The thing that makes me uncertain is that you've RMA'd the mobo GPU, PSU and you've reinstalled Windows and the video drivers (in short, the symptoms say it's a driver issue, but my gut feeling is that this is a hardware issue)..

Have you read through this topic?: Video TDR Timeout - 0x116 + 0x117 - Sysnative Forums I haven't updated it recently, but it does have some very good links and suggestions that I found when researching this problem a while back.

So, let's have a look at this report. Please generate the report shortly after the computer has problems, then reboot and generate the report:
Please do the following:
- open Event Viewer (run eventvwr.msc from the "Run" dialog)
- expand the Custom Views category (left click on the > next to the words "Custom Views")
- right click on Administrative Events
- select "Save all Events in Custom View as..."
- save the file as Admin.evtx
- zip up the file (right click on it, select "Send to", select "Compressed (zipped) folder")
- upload it with your next post (if it's too big, then upload it to a free file-hosting service and post a link here).

If the report doesn't show anything, then I'd suggest trying another video card (an nVidia card so that the driver issue is eliminated also). Don't forget to uninstall the AMD drivers once the new video card is installed.

Any questions, feel free to post back and I'll do my best to answer them.
Good luck!
