Have had this problem for awhile now. Posted in various of forums with no luck.
While looking through those forums, I see some reference towards this site so hopefully somebody can help me.

Specs of the PC is
i7
asus p6t SE
Windows 7 ultimate 64
OCZ 6GB DDR3 1600Mhz Tri-Channel
ATI HD RADEON 5870
650w PSU

The only games I've played on this comp are
BC2, Mw2, Wc3, Sc2, Mass effect1/2

The only game I've been able to run without a single problem was bc2/wc3. Every other game have come across an "Amdkmdap stopped responding" problem. Only a couple of hard freezes but most of them actually resuming after hanging.
Checking event logs on the hard freezes, that require me to reset, only says I came across a sudden shutdown instead of the problem causing it.
I used HWMonitor during Starcraft2 and the only sudden change I see is..
Powers - Processor - 46w suddenly jumping to 150w.
Every other temperature remains under 60degrees

Edit: Also, I've tried 10.4 driver - 10.7

Thanks for any responses!

Yes although if you have 3Dmark you need physx to run the benchmarks so keep those. All other nvidia drivers and chipsets can be removed. Windows 7 installs them as spares so theres no harm in removing them.
 
Last time I used driver sweeper it totally messed up my ATI driver and CCC and even a system restore wouldn't save me.

Ended up doing a clean install. Never again will I use driver sweeper.
 
I had this problem before.

I enabled "disable catalyst AI" in catalyst control center

it fixed my problem.

hope it works for you
 
Thanks for the response.

I've already tried a fresh install.
This problem was here before I used driver sweeper in safe mode.

And.. unfortunately. "Disable catalyst AI" only slowed the loading time for SC2. The amdkmdap/hanging issues still occurs.

Anybody know what the main problem for this issue is?
 
So if the display driver does not recover, it does indeed crash. This happens quite abit now.

I don't even know if it's the gpu or the memory. If I were to switch to nvidia and a similar problem occurs, I would be just wasting money.

Would a bad stick of my ocz memory potentially cause this problem?
 
Bumping this thread for further help.

I did some tests
memtest for a full 27 hours and prime with no errors.
Does this mean it is not a faulty motherboard/memory?

Any other tests I can do?
 
i had a lot of bsod and this type of error with my ati card.

suffice to say i switched it out for a nvidia ensured my cpu mem were water tight stable and now im fine no bsod ever, no atimag or CCC problems. just works all the time.

And in what way does your comment help the OP in anyway & really mean what part.

So is it now as soon as someone has an issues with an ATI card then switch to NV & as soon as someone has an issues with NV then switch to ATI.

How long did Prime run for ? Is your pc overclocked ? Is the 5870 overclocked ?

Do you use onboard sound, audio over hdmi from the 5870, or have a seperate sound card ?
 
Possibly unstable running off your current power supply, are you able to test it with a better quality supply rather than a coolermaster?

Well im going to do a fresh install as driver sweeper has messed up my system, its the first time that i used it on this system as i wanted to see if the latest version would break something & its the first re install of windows 7 from the day that i got it on release day.

I can System restore to another version but i can not install another version other than 10.5.
