I keep getting a BSOD and this is said to be the cause. This only happens at random times, mostly from browsing on Google Chrome. Does anyone have a solution?

Download the latest drivers for your graphics but do not install. Follow the directions at the 2nd post here and you should be fixed. This also works for the atimkpag error so replace that name in place of atimkdag.

Unfortunately this is a driver issue that AMD needs to fix. Changing the drivers is merely a workaround to allow you to use your system until the time that AMD fixes it permanently. There isn't much more any of us with AMD graphics can do until that time other than try the beta drivers. Some users have stated that even the beta does not fix it completely so it is still a waiting game.
