Is there a simple solution to this problem? i was playing gears of war and it keeps happening. sometimes it happens 1 minute into the game, and sometimes it gives me fake hope that i solved it, it works fine for 1 hour, then it happens, AGAIN. I would like a solution, and yes, i used google, 7 hours straight of trying to solve it, no luck =/.
ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated. my specs are as follows:
intel Q6600 @ 3.0 ghz 2 HD4850s running at stock speeds and with fanfix (and the temps are GPU 1 : 48C GPU 2: 46C) 4 gigs of DDR2 ram vista home premium 32 bit and silverstone 850W powersupply.
as i said, any direct solutions that arent to complicated will be greatly appreciated! (and i run 1 monitor, not two)
after some reasearch the only consistant info i can find is from ati website that says its caused by certain motherboard chipsets are incompatabile with vista. as for a soulution, this is all i have found no idea if it works or not.
"Not sure if this will help anyone else, but I was getting all the same errors as well. Did a fresh instal of vista, installed the 7.3's, then installed the 7.3 hotfix, still got the ATIKMDAG error in all games.
Noticed it only happened when the system/driver was trying to change the fan speed on my x1900xtx when the GPU temp started to rise.
Installed ATI tool 027 beta and used it to set just the fan speed on the card to 100% and I haven't had a problem since.
I posted this in another thread: http://www.driverheaven.net/1044512-post256.html.
I just finished playing a bunch of different games, testing it out, and not one crash or driver stop. Maybe it will work for others."
