    Hmm... I think tom, you have to really have it checked. I had the same error with one of the computers I was working on. After I had it tested with a new graphics card, it didn't worked. But when I updated all the firmware (totally different from a driver) it worked just fine.

    I'm not sure if the testing part would work for you, but what the others experience is pretty different than what you have. Thanks to Nuewerld though, I had an idea where to start.

    Use your msinfo32 on the run box and look for the dxgkrnl says if its microsoft or not?

    Fuhrer,

    Thanks for the information. dxgkrnl is LDDM Graphics Subsystem.

    My System:

    Processor AMD A8-6500 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics, 3500 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)

    How do I go about updating the firmware?

    As mentioned in the previous reply, the dump pointed to "0x0_dxgkrnl!dxgdbgtakesnapshot" being the  faulting module which translates to your computer's display drivers. We suggest continuing to work with AMD and ask for the latest firmware for it. We need to make sure that it is the latest before we check out other things for step by step isolation of the concern.

    We're one with you in hoping for the speedy resolution of your concern.

    We're just here for any feedback.

    Regards.
