Hi,

Have been having some problems with a recurring BSOD (on Windows 8.1 Pro), apparently with the graphics card (atikmpag.sys mentioned). They happen on boot. Also, the screen turned into colored blocks but I could guess the positions of dialog buttons to be able to logout.

Thanks for any help!

Please uninstall everything of AMD using Display Driver Uninstaller and install new drivers from AMD. Be sure to ONLY install the drivers using custom/advanced options.

Thank you for your help and good tips.
I uninstalled everything by using DDU and installed new drivers from AMD.
I updated also BIOS

So far everything seems to run without problems, very good!
