Hi all,

I'm the owner of a HP Envy 15-1060ea. It comes with a Windows 7 Home Premium license.

I've formatted it and installed the operating system from scratch. I downloaded all the HP drivers that were available on the HP website. Everything worked well except for the video drivers. As soon as I install them and restart the system, it crashes at Windows startup. I thought the HP drivers were bugged, So I downloaded latest ATI catalyst drivers from AMD website, but my PC keep crashing.

I don't know what else should I try. Any hint? It looks like a problem related to ATI drivers (atikmpag.sys).

This is the minidump log:

VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE (116)
Attempt to reset the display driver and recover from timeout failed.

Arg1: 88fe3510, Optional pointer to internal TDR recovery context (TDR_RECOVERY_CONTEXT).

Hello,

You may try clearing out your current ATI drivers out with Driver Sweeper, and reinstalling the latest drivers from ATI. If that doesn't work, I suspect this is a hardware issue. How old is the laptop? Any chance of getting it sent in for repair/exchange under the warranty?

Hi,

thank you for your answer. I've already tried installing latest drivers from a clean Windows installation, immediately after Windows setup. Same result though. I bought it in March 2010, so it's still covered by HP warrany. I guess I've to send it back to them then :sigh:
