Hi.
Yesterday all worked fine, then out of the blue today the AMD driver started crashing repeatedly (I played Divinity Original Sin), then it got to the desktop and I had a message telling me "AMD display driver has crashed and restarted", it got to a situation that the driver crashes and either my monitor losses signal or I have BSOD and forced restart.
I tried uninstalling my driver and with Driver Sweeper and installing on separate ocassions Catalyst 14.4 and 13.1, with the same results, even my computer will start Windows (it's 7) with no signal from monitor, only hearing sounds.
I tested for temperature and my video card was clearly not overheating (37-45 degrees Celsius).
Tried to clean computer from dust, still didn't help.
My specs:
Windows 7 SP1 64 bit
Intel i3-3220
AMD Radeon HD 7700
4GB ram
Please, any help will be appreciated :/ hope it's not a hardware problem

Best way to find out quickly is a clean install.
Better of course, if you have another working HDD you can spare to do a clean install on.
Parts can still break even if not overheating.

the easiest way is to replace/change your AMD; for testing purposes if not for anything else.
if you have on processor graphics card, use it and see if you get more errors.

I would probably start with a clean windows installation, then work from there. i think that might be the most simple solution

I fixed it.
Turned out it was a driver problem, why it happened so suddenly I still do not know. I turned off automatic restart on BSOD, and it did write that the file atikmpag.sys was causing the problem. I used the following steps:http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=363233 to replace both atikmpag.sys and atikmdag.sys (Catalyst 14.4), and I didn't get driver crashes since. Hope it will stay that way.
