I'm getting the BSOD on a brand new laptop - literally crashed on day one. The BSOD occurs when I watch videos, it can take 5 minutes to crash or 55 minutes but always crashes eventually.
BSOD says: "SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED (atikmdag.sys)
I've looked around this forum but there doesn't seem to be a definitive solution.
Processor:
- AMD A8-6410 APU
- Quad-core
- 2 GHz
- 2 MB cache
Memory: 8 GB DDR3L
I did a crash report and got the following:

Is this a problem with the hardware or the software? I was going to return it after it started crashing on day one, but didn't think there was much point if it was a problem with the software?
Thanks!
