Синий экран ошибка atikmdag sys

Чаще всего синий экран с ошибкой atikmdag sys возникает из-за некорректно установленного или поврежденного драйвера видеокарты AMD/ATI Radeon. И в большинстве случаев переустановка или обновление помогает решить проблему, однако тут не все так однозначно и просто, могут иметь место быть и другие проблемы.

Ознакомьтесь с аналогичным сбоем «atikmpag sys«, возможно некоторые способы решения будут кстати.

Давайте затронем данную тему более подробно и попробуем самостоятельно все исправить.

Удаление установленных драйверов

В первую очередь я предлагаю удалить уже установленные драйвера. Делать это я рекомендую используя утилиту Display Driver Uninstaller. Главное ее преимущество в том, что она полностью удаляет драйвера из системы, подчищая все хвосты (оставшиеся папки и записи в реестре). Работает на всех ОС, включая Windows 7, 8, 10.

Только полное удаление может гарантировать эффективность новой установки.

Перед тем как приступать к процедуре удаления, скачайте свежую версию драйверов. Найти их можно на сайте производителя. Заходите, выбираете свою модель видеокарты, выбираете свою версию Windows и скачиваете.

Итак, приступим:

1. Программа бесплатная, не требует установки. Поэтому загружаем ее с официального сайта и запускаем.
2. Очень важно все действия проводить из безопасного режима. Иначе вы можете словить черный экран или другие ошибки. Поэтому загружаемся с него и двигаемся далее.
3. Запускаем утилиту, выбираем производителя видеокарты, для удобства устанавливаем «Русский язык» и щелкаем по кнопке «Удалить и перезагрузить».
4. Программа в автоматическом режиме начнет искать и удалять все остатки.

Дождитесь окончания процесса деинсталляции, перезагрузите компьютер и заново войдите в безопасный режим.

Если по каким-либо причинам, данная утилита вам не подошла, есть и другие похожие аналоги, например, Revo Uninstaller, Your Uninstaller и другие. Можете использовать их.

Установка свежих драйверов

После того, как удаление было успешно завершено, можно начинать чистую установку.

У вас уже должны быть скачаны последние версии софта.

На самом деле здесь все просто, пожалуй, единственное правило, особенно оно касается новичков: устанавливайте все в автоматическом режиме, отметив галочками все пункты, которая предлагает нам программа.

Более подробно:

• После запуска установщика, нам будет предложено 2 варианта установки: «Экспресс» и «Выборочная». Если у вас нет должного опыта и необходимых знаний, выбирайте первый.

Дожидаемся окончания процедуры, перезагружаем ПК и запускаем уже в обычном режиме.

Если вы все сделали правильно, согласно инструкции, то синий экран (BSOD) с ошибкой atikmdag sys будет устранен.

Появление синего экрана после обновления

Еще редко синий экран появляется после обновления Windows или драйверов на видеокарту. В обоих случаях может помочь откат системы до рабочего состояния.

Во втором случае, можно сделать еще следующее:

1. В диспетчере устройств перейти во вкладку «Видеоадаптеры» и правой мышкой щелкнуть по своей графической плате, далее нажать «Свойства».
2. Перейти в раздел «Драйвер» и щелкнуть «Откатить».
3. Необходимо подтвердить действие.

После завершения процедуры не забудьте перезагрузить компьютер.

Если проблема была в этом, то синий экран больше не появится.

Замена файла

Дело в том, что при установки свежего софта для видеокарты, прежняя версия файла atikmdag.sys перемещается в директорию «System32Drivers», в следствии чего Windows использует старую версию, а новая остается незадействованной. Из-за этого и появляется синий экран.

Так что давайте попробуем исправить BSOD ошибку atikmdag sys путем замены старого файла на новый.

Для этого:

1. Скачайте и установите свежие драйвера на видеоплату.
2. Затем перейдите в раздел с установленной ОС, обычно это «C» диск. Далее в папку «Windows / System32 / Drivers», найдите файл atikmdag.sys и задайте ему новое имя Atikmdag.sys.old.
3. Теперь заходим на диск «С», открываем папку «ATI», находим файл Atikmdag.sy_ и копируем его на рабочий стол.
4. Открываем командную строку. Как это сделать в Windows 10 читайте здесь. Некоторые из рассмотренных способов универсальны и подходят даже для Windows XP,7,8.
5. Вводим следующее: chdir Desktop и жмем «Enter».
6. Теперь выполняем процедуру замены, введя команду EXPAND.EXE atikmdag.sy_ atikmdag.sys и нажав «Enter».
7. Копируем новую версию файла с рабочего стола в папку «Drivers» и перезагружаем ПК.

Синий экран появляться больше не должен.

Ошибка atikmdag.sys с кодом 0x0000003

Чаще всего синий экран со stop ошибкой 0x0000003 говорит уже о другой проблеме, а именно конфликты в работе с драйвером Win32k.sys .

Как правило проблема исправляется достаточно легко, нужно лишь скачать официальный патч от Microsoft. Найти его можно здесь. Перед его установкой не забудьте включить автоматическое обновление.

Отключаем функцию быстрого запуска

Также синий экран может появляться только при определенных обстоятельствах, например, при выходе из режима сна, то тут может помочь изменение настроек запуска.

Перед тем как перейти к конкретным действиям, убедитесь, что вы зашли в систему как администратор.

Для того чтобы изменить настройки, необходимо:

1. Щелкнуть по пуску, в строку поиска ввести «Электропитание» и перейти в необходимый раздел.
2. В меню слева щелкаем по «Действия кнопок» и заходим внутрь настроек.
3. В верхней части окна нажимаем «Изменение параметров».
4. Убираем галочку с пункта быстрого запуска и нажимаем «Сохранить».

Перезагружаем систему.

Другие виды ошибок и общие способы их устранения

Бывают и другие типы ошибок, связанные с файлом atikmdag.sys с которыми вы можете столкнуться. Например, пользователи Windows 8/10 очень часто видят синий экран с ошибкой system service exception. Она указывает на проблемы в драйвере видеокарты, и исправляется путем их переустановки, о чем мы говорили в начале статьи.

Итак, мы рассмотрели основные виды неисправностей, связанные с конкретным файлом, однако могут место быть и другие проблемы:

1. Неисправность жесткого диска, ошибки в системных файлах, блока питания, ОЗУ, материнской платы или самой видеокарты.
2. Вредоносное ПО, вирусы. Даже если у вас установлен антивирус, проверьте компьютер дополнительно другими способами. А если антивируса нет, то рекомендуем его поставить, пускай это будет даже бесплатный вариант.
3. Обновления Windows. Например, из-за обновления KB4056891 очень часто вылетает ошибка system thread exception not handled. Исправить ее можно только удалив данное обновление.

Конечно, причин может быть много, я лишь рассказал о наиболее распространенных из них.

Кстати, очень многие рекомендуют использовать программу DLL Suite для исправления системных файлов. На этот счет я не могу дать однозначный ответ, в некоторых случаях, возможно она помогает, но чаще всего после ее использования становится все больше ошибок. Использовать ее или нет, решать только вам.

Windows blue screen of death (BSoD) is a nightmare for many Windows users and nobody wants to experience it. However, it is not ineluctable and always appears unexpectedly, preventing the system from booting. Also, it is known as a stop error. Among many blue screen errors, atikmdag.sys BSoD is a common issue that especially occurs in Windows 11/10/8/7.

What Is Atikmdag.sys Blue Screen?

When reading here, you may ask what atikmdag.sys is. Atikmdag.sys is a system driver file that allows hardware components like a graphics card to communicate with software. Atikmdag stands for ATI Radeon Kernel Mode Driver Package. This file is pretty essential. Once it is damaged, the atikmdag.sys error happens.

In Windows 7, atikmdag.sys blue screen usually happens on startup or while using an application. Windows crashes suddenly, saying “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”.

If you upgrade Windows 7 or Windows 8 to Windows 10, the BSoD error stops Windows from booting and you may receive the error message “Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart”. Usually, an error code is next to atikmdag.sys, for PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA, VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE, SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED, DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAl, etc.

Well then, how can you fix atikmdag.sys blue screen of death? Multiple methods are offered to you and you should try them one by one to resolve the issue.

How to Fix Atikmdag.sys BSoD Windows 10/8/7/11

Usually, when the atikmdag.sys error happens, Windows can still boot to the desktop. The following operations are based on this situation. If you cannot boot the system normally, you may need to go to WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment) or safe mode to perform some fixes.

Fix 1: Perform a Full System Scan for Malware

The viruses and malware infection may corrupt the atikmdag.sys file, causing the blue screen error. Thus, we strongly recommend you to conduct a full system scan to remove possible virus corruption.

3. This process will take some time. Wait until the verification completes 100%.

4. After the operation, you can reboot your PC.

Fix 5: Perform a System Restore

In Windows, there is an option for you to restore the PC to a time point and undo recent changes. It is System Restore.

Some unknown changes performed on your computer lately may lead to PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA, VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE, DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAl (atikmdag.sys) BSoD error.

If you have a system restore point before, you can use it to fix your issue and restore critical files.

Follow the guide below:

1. Input create a system restore point to the search box in Windows 10/8/7 and click the result to the System Properties window.
2. Click the System Restore button.
3. Choose a restore point that you have created and confirm the operation by clicking Finish.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the restoration operation.

If you don’t have a restore point, of course, this method couldn’t help you and you need to go to the next fix.

Fix 6: Check Your Hard Drive

If there is something wrong with the hard drive, the atikmdag.sys BSoD stop error may come out of the blue no matter you are using Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10/11. Here, you should check for hard drive corruption to fix the problem.

Let’s go through how to do that:

1. Similarly, open Command Prompt as Administrator.
2. Input chkdsk C: /f and chkdsk C: /r. Press Enter after each command.
3. If Windows asks you to schedule the check the next time the system restarts, input Y. Then, reboot your PC to perform the check.

Fix 7: Perform Windows Clean Install

Here is another way for the atikmdag.sys blue screen fix and it is performing a clean install of Windows 11/10/8/7. This method will clear all installed apps and some files stored on the system drive but it is effective to resolve Windows atikmgas.sys BSoD error.
