Hello community. I'm currently experiencing a very serious problem with my graphic card.
Problem:
I recently formatted my OS (Windows 7 Ultimate x64) and when trying to install Catalyst drivers everything works fine until I reboot. I get to the "Starting Windows" screen and after that it just shows a black screen or I get a BSOD with "atikmpag.sys" error. I installed the latest stable version, 12.10.
What I did:
I goggled around and found two common problems. Computer drivers outdated and problems with RAM cards. I then proceeded with updating all my drivers with Driver Genius and running a memory check with Memtest86+. All drivers where updated and Memtest86+ made 5 full passes showing no errors at all.
The only way to get back into Windows again, was too go to enter "Safe Mode" and uninstall the display driver on "Device Manager". Then I was able to get into Windows and it automatically installed Standard VGA driver, which is the only way for me to operate this machine and write down my problems in here.
I tried using older catalyst display drivers as 11.10 and the latest beta version 12.11. No success at all.
I also did a chkdsk on my hard drive, but again, no errors.
So any one of you out there knows some way to get my graphic card back up?
Thank you.
