Well, a few months ago my pc started having bsod, first I thought it was a power supply problem because I had a generic power supply, I was mistaken

Then started to investigate a little more and discovered it was my video card

Running BlueScreenView tells me that atikmdag.sys and dxgkrnl.sys are causing trouble
is not the first time I see those, on every single bsod I've is the same or just atikmdag.sys I have reinstalled AMD drivers a lot with not satisfactory results

I don't know what else to do, the card still have a few months of warranty so if it is hardware problem I can return it

windows 8
AMD HD7850 2GB ASUS
8 GB ram
MoBo MSI NF980-g65
Power supply Corsair CX750
AMD Phenom II x4 965

if you have an OC utility for your video card, cut the memory frequency by a few hundred mhz. leaving everything else the same. some of the 78xx and 79xx series cards have memory issues. especially if it is a particular brand.. try it out. it sucks if it works but it may mean you need to use your warranty. This happens ESPECIALLY with asus cards from my observation. http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2196552/windows-...

Dude this exact issue manifests in a lot of different ways. I personally experienced amdkmdag.sys bsods with my 7970 ghz, with the same solution and much different issues than what mike stated. I would just give it a try.
