Hello community!
I have a long story to say but I hope I will find here someone who will read it and maybe could help me.
My Specs:
Mobo : Msi P43T-C51
CPU: Core 2 Quad Q6600 G0 Revision
RAM: 3.5GB ( 1 stick of 2gb ram, 3 others of 512mb)
GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD7750 1GB GDDR5
HDD: 1 x Disk Drive SAMSUNG HD161HJ ATA Device (160 GB, 7200 RPM, SATA-II)
1 x Disk Drive ST3500413AS ATA Device (465 GB, IDE) - on this is installed the OS
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate SP1
Firstly, I had this BSOD for the first time like 5 months ago when I managed to fix it just by using System Recovery.
Since then it worked well for 2-3 months and then...one day it showed up again.(second BSOD)
The BSOD appears after the windows loads (I noticed that the half right of the windows logo looks blurry - the yellow and the green squares are slightly distorted). Another strange thing is that I can enter in Safe Mode but the the screen has a very low resolution and 8 bit colors. It's very hard to use the system like that because the colors are mixed and it became pretty hard to use it like that.
When I got my second BSOD I managed to fix it for another 2-3 months only by unplugging the DVD-RW Drive. I don't know why it worked but since then I hadn't any issue until now.
This week , after I recently acquired another HDD (ST3500413AS ATA Device) the BSOD showed up again. I tried with both HDD and it didn't worked, then I used only my old HDD and it was looking fine...but I wanted to use the new HDD so I tried to fix it somehow. I don't know how I managed to make it to function properly, For a couple of days (with the new HDD) everything was fine until yesterday when the error showed up again.
I tried many versions of ATI drivers but nothing worked. I was just installing the display driver and nothing else but I always got the atikmpag.sys BSoD. I've also used Driver Sweepers to remove the old driver files but it still didnt worked. There was a fix with expanding the atikmpag.sy_ into atikmpag.sys and replacing the original driver file but after I tried that fix I got another BsoD, this time 0x124 (this BsoD appears as a report after win 7 loads). Surprinsgly when I get this 0x124 BsoD I can enter in Windows but it looks crappy like it looked before in Safe Mode.
I tried to reinstall Windows 7 several times but it didn't fix the problem. Another thing that I noticed is that when I used my pc with that crappy low resolution and 8 bit colors I tried to reinstall the windows and during the installation it looked all the time with crappy low resolution and 8 bit colors. Even after it finished the installation the resolution was still there.
Right now, when I decided that my 6 months old GPU is the problem I changed it with an old Gpu (Nvidia GeForce 6600) and I'm shocked to see that I got again that 0x116 BSoD. This time (with the Nvidia) after I got the BSoD the system restarted but the error didn't showed up again (neither the crappy resoultion).
I hope that someone can help me! Thanks in advance!
P,S: I've updated my OS to SP1 because I've read somewhere that it might fix the problem.
