Sometimes, certain alerts and errors are being displayed because of corrupted files related to hardware components, such as the graphics card. In our situation, the video_tdr_failure atikmpag.sys alert is telling you that something went wrong with your AMD / ATI graphics card. Don’t panic, this isn’t a hardware malfunction, but a software mismatch between your graphics card and the Windows 10 platform. Thus, as always, when BSoD errors occur, you need to find the perfect troubleshooting solutions. And that’s why we are here for you.
How do I fix video_tdr_failure atikmpag.sys error in Windows 10?
1. Update display and graphic drivers
Keep in mind that all outdated drivers cause malfunction and errors. Since updating drivers manually can be a long and tedious process, you might want to use a tool that will automatically update all your drivers for you. Download and install DriverFix to do it automatically. This tool will help you avoid permanent damage to your PC by downloading and installing the wrong driver versions. You will notice that after installation, this awesome tool starts automatically and begins scanning your system for any problems with the drivers. After a few seconds, you will get a complete report with a list of all the drivers recommended for installation. The only thing left to do is to hit the Update All button. That’s if you want to install all the drivers. If you just want to install the graphics card drivers, you will have to check the corresponding boxes from the left of their names and click on the Update buttons from their right.
2. Reinstall the graphic drivers from Safe Mode
3. Use CMD commands
Note: If you are using an NVIDIA or Intel display driver the issue will be slightly different because the error code is named nvlddmkm.sys or igdkmd64.sys but the solutions from above should help you fix them.
