If I connect both and perform the following -the errors rarely occur! If I connect using one VGA or one HDMI cable only, I get atikmdag.exe errors. However using HDMI only gives me the option for 1360×768. If I connect using VGA I get the option for 1366×768 which is the native resolution for the monitor at 1:1 aspect ratio. It’s connected via VGA > VGA analogue cable and HDMI > HDMI.
I usually connect my graphics card to a 37″ TFT. It warrants quite a big explanation, but I feel there is some great relevance with this issue.
If you are getting atikmdag.exe display driver errors, it’s probably a bad idea to enable this feature. Windows Dreamscene causes more frequent errors. Having Windows Aero Interface turned on will increase the chance of error for me. I can’t offer a 100% fix, but here’s what I’ve discovered… it may not apply to anyone else, but it seems to do the trick for me. I’ve cut down my atikmdag.exe errors from “often” to “very rarely”. Here’s what I’ve found helps me the most. I also read that it was worth going back to the older drivers. So I started messing around with things (as I do). Other sites have recommended single channel memory configuration, this made no difference whatsoever. It’s the same with other graphics card fitted too. My temperatures are chilly to say the least.ĭefective motherboard? At what point do you stop trying new motherboards? I’ve tried a few and they all exhibit the same issue. Actually makes no difference if everything is under clocked.Ĭompatibility?Works fine on Windows XP, Issue remains with all new hardware fitted. I’ve tried several and it doesn’t help me. Oh look -It’s still the same!īad Memory Modules? Problem persists with the best memory available. Power?Clearly most people getting this error have really beefy PSU. I’ve seen some fantastic solutions posted, but so far none worked for me. This is what ATi say can cause it.
Regardless, I’ll be talking about ATi display drivers only from this point. In fact if you’re running Vista, you’ll probably get it at some point or other. It shows no bias concerning motherboard platform or how many “bits” your Vista has either. This issue is present on both ATi and nVidia graphics cards. I’ve seen thousands of posts with unhappy gamers ranting about this, and I must confess I always thought “Pffft… noob”. I know there’s something of a universal theme to this issue. Anyway, everything was peachy with our trusty 3850 until recently, the display driver would stop responding hundreds of times during games. I gave up using nVidia after I discovered the drivers were being downgraded for Vista. I’ve been a happy ATi user for a while now.
