Default Behavior
Amdxata is a kernel device driver. In Windows 7 it is being loaded by Boot Loader before Kernel initialization. If Amdxata fails to start, Windows 7 attempts to write the failure details into Event Log. Then Windows 7 startup should proceed and the user should be notified that the amdxata service is not running because of the error.
