I'm not too much of an expert, and call me captain obvious, but that atikmdag.sys makes me recall an issue with Hardware Acceleration enabled in flash-based browser content on AMD cards. Try disabling it and see if it happens again.

Last time that happend was 1 week ago. I was reading a lot about this and then I saw that it might be from audio drivers so I removed the HD audio drivers from ATI and leave only realtek but it seems that today after blue screen happend the drivers where back magically there so I guess that might cause the problem so again I removed them, now I also did this so I'm waiting to see but it doesn't happen very often like I said last time was before 7 days.

I play heavy games like Battlefield 3 on max for hours and I don't get blue screen or any problems at all but like I said, it happend in facebook when a video finished so it might be audio or something like that.

It happened to me randomly as well, and on 5 different ATI cards nonetheless: a WAY OLD 9000 series one I can't remember (was Flash Player even out in those days? XD), an X1950XT, a 4870, a 6870 and a R9 290x.
- The 2 older ones never had any issue, but then again, it's so back in time that Flash Player probably didn't even have hardware acceleration... we're talking about 14 years ago or so after all...
- Fixed it by disabling hardware acceleration on the 4870.
- Fixed it by doing a clean reinstall of the drivers on the 6870.
- Still waiting for it to happen on my R9 290x.
The only constant? ALWAYS when watching multimedia content in my web browser...

It just comes and goes away when it feels like it. You can simply hope it doesn't happen lol...

Yep, I doesn't happen when the card is under heavy load. It comes when it feels like it, randomly. But so far 2 times and both times I was watching video in facebook. Maybe drivers or something, I don't know I made thread here hoping that someone might have experience and help me resolve this.
