Tried posting this in computer hardware. Guess with it being a driver issue it seemed suited better here.
The title says it all pretty much. Ive included a BSOD log as well. My current specs:
Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. - Model GA-790FXTA-UD5
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition, 3200 MHz
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16gb CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9 ( x4 4 GB DDR3-1333 DDR3)
GPU: AMD Radeon 5870 1GB GDDR5
The main driver I keep seeing in the blue screens is the 'atikmpag.sys'. The BSODs are mostly "Graphic driver failed & could not recovery" kind of errors. It happens more often in newer games. Battlefield 3/SWTOR are prime culprits. Other minor games such 'Sniper: Ghost Warrior' and even 'A Game of Thrones: Genesis' will crash with this kind of error.
Im sick of the BSODs! If anyone can shed some light on what the problem may be, please help.
On a side note, ive used the program FurMark before to benchmark my video card and it rarely crashed the drivers surprisingly. It was only when I went to do 'burn in' tests that it auto crashed.
As mentioned above, a BSOD log has been included.
