    Random Windows 8.1 BSOD while browsing - atikmdag.sys

    Will try! Wow, thanks for the advice, cbwilsha! You were right, I was indeed using Firefox. I've disabled hardware acceleration, so I'll test it for a while and see how things go. Thanks for the tip. Oh, and are you using a VPN yourself? Does it cooperate?

    Random Windows 8.1 BSOD while browsing - atikmdag.sys

    Oh, no! It Happened Again! Oh no, now I'm freaking out! I hadn't made any chances since my last post (removing the VPN, updating the driver from the Toshiba site again), and the computer was working fine, but I just got another BSOD with SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (atikmdag.sys)...

    Random Windows 8.1 BSOD while browsing - atikmdag.sys

    Hi, thanks for the super-fast response! 1. I think I correctly uninstalled Private Internet Access (the VPN program I use on open wifi networks), and deleted TAP-Win32 Adapter V9. 2. I installed the AMD Driver Autodetect from here (AMD Driver Autodetect). 3. I ran the AMD Driver Autodetect...

    Random Windows 8.1 BSOD while browsing - atikmdag.sys

    Hi All, Forgive me, I am the n00est of n00bs. My relatively new, Black Friday '14 Toshiba Satellite Satellite C75D-B7260 laptop has started randomly and unpredictably crashing to BSOD, with following error message: SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (atikmdag.sys) This happens maybe once...
