Overview of Atikmdag.sys
What Is Atikmdag.sys?
Atikmdag.sys is a type of SYS file associated with ATI Radeon Family developed by Advanced Mirco Devices, Inc. for the Windows Operating System. The latest known version of Atikmdag.sys is 8.1.1.1266, which was produced for Windows Vista. This SYS file carries a popularity rating of 5 stars and a security rating of 'UNKNOWN'.
What Are SYS Files?
SYS files such as atikmdag.sys are third-party (eg. Advanced Mirco Devices, Inc.) device drivers or critical system files that come as part of the Windows operating system. Most SYS files allow internal PC hardware or attached hardware, such as a printer, to communicate with third-party software programs (eg. web browsers, word processors, ATI Radeon Family) and the operating system (eg. Windows Vista).
Other SYS files are critical system files called 'kernel mode device drivers' which are used to power the Windows Vista operating system. Files such as 'CONFIG.SYS' contain configuration settings and specify what device drivers should be loaded by the operating system. Without driver files such as atikmdag.sys, you wouldn't be able to do simple tasks such as printing a document.
Why Do I Have SYS Errors?
SYS file errors are typically caused by faulty hardware or corrupt device driver files. Because of the importance of Atikmdag.sys in the functionality of ATI Radeon Family and other Windows functions, any corruption or damage to this file can create critical system errors in the form of a 'blue screen of death' (BSOD). Please see 'Causes of Atikmdag.sys Errors' below for more information.
When Do SYS Errors Occur?
SYS errors, such as those associated with atikmdag.sys, most often occur during computer startup, program startup, or while trying to use a specific function in your program (eg. printing).
Common Atikmdag.sys Error Messages
The majority of atikmdag.sys errors that you encounter will be 'blue screen of death' errors (also know as a 'BSOD' or 'STOP error') that occur in Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10:
- 'A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. The problem seems to be caused by the following file: Atikmdag.sys.'
- ':( Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We’re just collecting some info, and then we’ll restart for you. If you would like to know more, you can search online later for this error: atikmdag.sys.'
- 'STOP 0x0000000A: IRQL_NOT_LESS_EQUAL – atikmdag.sys'
- 'STOP 0x0000001E: KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED – atikmdag.sys'
- 'STOP 0×00000050: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA – atikmdag.sys'
In most cases, you will experience atikmdag.sys blue screen errors after you’ve installed new hardware or software. These atikmdag.sys blue screens can appear during program installation, while a atikmdag.sys-related software program (eg. ATI Radeon Family) is running, while a Advanced Mirco Devices, Inc. driver is being loaded, or during Windows startup or shutdown. Keeping track of when and where your STOP error occurs is a critical piece of information in troubleshooting the problem.
For the past two years I've been having problems with ATI drivers on Win7. From what I can gather, it's caused by ATI drivers. I have AMD Radeon Sapphire HD 7750 Ultimate Edition 128-bit 1GB DDR5 graphic card.
I've been getting BSODs a few times a month for the past two years. The problem has persisted through at least two or three versions of ATI drivers.
There are a lot of Google results referencing people having BSODs and atikmdag.sys problems, and a lot of different solutions but so far nothing I've done has helped.
What I've tried:
- Reinstalling ATI drivers; this seems to be the most common advice. I've tried newest ATI drivers, newest ATI drivers after cleaning up behind ATI drivers, Windows drivers, several versions of ATI drivers, third party drivers.
- Disabling hardware acceleration in Flash (but Flash doesn't seem to be related or even running when this happens).
- Installing all Windows updates.
- Reinstalling Windows.
- As this is three monitor setup; trying to use only two monitors, only one monitor; not using HDMI port.
- Replacing memory.
- Replacing graphic card.
- Praying.
What I haven't tried:
- Different motherboard.
- Different OS (it seems that running Linux doesn't have the same problems but I haven't run it longer than a day or two exclusively on Linux to be able to confirm this with certainty).

have you tried checking your system memory and ssd/hdd? sometimes the driver can crash by a corruption in the system memory or disk
try taking out one stick of ram and change os drive.. etc
also try running GPU-Z and see if its overheatshttp://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/
