Before I send my unit out for a RMA I'm hoping maybe someone could help me out. Started happening about 8 days ago BSOD while playing Bioshock infinite, so I decided to update my Bios and Vbios so it could support the new drivers for my card threw AMD. I downloaded the new drivers that are supported for my card while rebooting after the install system hangs and BSOD appears so I went ahead, and logged into safe mode and rolled back to stock VGA driver which works fine then I started tinkering with a older driver CCC 10.11 and tried it out to see if it works, and yes it does work I added a folder with my .dmp files in it maybe someone could help me understand what is going on? :banghead: This is how gpu-z looked right after I had my first BSOD

Unable to load image \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\atikmdag.sys, Win32 error 0n2
*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for atikmdag.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for atikmdag.sys

This is what I got from GPU-Z

What I did to get gpu-z to read the card again I opened up my laptop repasted and seated the card while taking the battery out off the mother board for about 10 minutes put everything back together and the card was read again.

It is BSODing when installing any new AMD drivers for some reason the Vbiso and Bios that I have flashed is recommended for new drivers, coming from another forum where people have the same model I have they are all using the new AMD 13.1-13.3 drivers but when I try installing them I get a BSOD where I get the error atikmdag.sys, as of right now I am using a old AMD driver 10.11 that was issued in 2010?

Here is the link to the Vbios that is suppose to fix BSOD and also compatibility issues with any new drivers from AMD. http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?519-G73Jh-GSOD-Vbios-Update


I can get any bios from the Asus website for my model and no I did not save my original Bios.

From here http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=G73Jh&p=3&os=30

the newest and up to date BIOS is 213 in-which I upgraded from 211.

Never herd of ATOMBIOSBK-ATI VER012.020.000.045.038815 is this compatible to my hardware? 5870m

read the ROG link.. thanks .. the line that supplied the best info
"This vBIOS works with driver sets 10.1~10.8 and should work with future releases unless the driver base code is changed again."
there in lies your problem with the 13.xx drivers "driver base code is changed ...
can you confirm that other peeps have working 13.xx drivers on the same lap the last post on the rog thread is from 12/4/2012
If it was my lap I would run atiman uninstaller and then work my way backwards with the ati drivers
till I found a set that work GOOD LUCK

Hey I am back. I did at least 4 fresh window installs and still have yet to find a remedy. You stated you wanted a link on others that have the same gaming unit as I have running updated drivers here is one and there is many on this forum that is running 13.1-13.4 AMD drivers, I am guessing this is a hardware issue or maybe voltage issue? If you read the threads the remedy of all their issues was to update the Bios and Vbios which seemed to work for the AMD updates.

I might sound naive, but...did you actually buy these games or downloaded from torrents?

It makes a difference you know...

Unfortunately, because you have torrented the game. We here at the forum cannot/will not offer you any support on the matter as what you have done is committed a criminal act of piracy.

Not only that, discussion of warez and torrents are against forum rules. I can only direct you to the developers/publishers forum if you wish for further support.


TPU does not support or condone piracy, If you like the game then please support the developers buy purchasing it.
