My 4.5 years old laptop BSOD randomly (mostly when playing video, streaming youtube & browsing on Chrome/Firefox) and I suspected driver problem of ATI Radeon HD7670M or the GC is dying. The minidump show the driver causing BSOD is atikmpag.sys

Things i did:-
1) Format the entire HDD and factory reset - result: BSOD every 2-3 hours

2) Set maximum processor state to 75% on battery & plugged in - result: BSOD less, 1-3 times in 24 hours

3) Install HWMonitor - result: CPU i7-3612QM 55-65C idle, GC 50-55C idle

4) Boot into safemode to run [DisplayDriverUninstaller (Safemode) v16.0.0.2], then re-install the latest version of driver downloaded from ATI [amd-catalyst-15.7.1-without-dotnet45-win7-64bit] - result: still BSOD 1-2 times in 24 hours

5) Repeat step 4) but this time go into cmd and EXPAND.EXE atikmdag.sy_ atikmdag.sys. (follow method 2 from http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-165...d-startup.html) - slight modification as I type atikmpag.sy_ (not atikmdag.sy_) - result: still BSOD 1-2 times in 24 hour

6) Want to switch to built-in Intel GC but unfortunately there is no Intel GC, as Device Manager only show "AMD Radeon HD 7600M Series"

I'm going crazy, any sifu??

THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME IN MY TOSHIBA LAPTOP.
I WAS TRYING TO BE A SMART ASS, AND WANTED TO UPDATE ALL THE DRIVERS TO LATEST BUILDS INCLUDING BIOS. HOWEVER, THE BSOD WAS BECAUSE OF UPDATING THE GRAPHICS DRIVER.
UNFORTUNATELY, 7670M DON'T HAVE ANY LATEST BUILD, THE CATALYST CONTROL SAYS IT SUPPORTS 7600M SERIES, BUT ITS NOT REALLY GOOD FOR 7670M.
I ROLLBACK THE DRIVER TO THE OLD ONE.
THEN THE BSOD WAS GONE.
