BSOD - atikmdag.sys - cannot resolve

I have been experiencing a series of BSOD's while playing both Wolfenstein 2 and Hitman (2016). The error happens anywhere between 10 minutes and an hour of gaming and is pretty consistent in appearing. I am using a RADEON RX480

It seems the error is related to my AMD Drivers, but I am running out of ideas of how to solve. Fully clean install (i.e. uninstall via Windows, then using AMD Cleanup Utility, and then reinstalling latest AMD drivers) has not solved the problem.

I've also completed a MemTest86 to ensure it isn't a memory related issue.

The dump files from this mornings crashes can be found here, as well as a WhoCrashed log (also posted below) - https://1drv.ms/f/s!AmWorpmeOki8kU0ix7AU37r9lurU

If there is more information that would be helpful, let me know.

A very common issue for what it sounds like you are describing can be solved by Going to Radeon Settings/Gaming/Global Settings/Global Wattman: Find the "Power Limit" Slider and move it to it maximum.

Your processor is not working stably. The atikmdag.sys error does not always indicate GPU driver error. The error you get is probably due to your processor not working properly.
