So I'm getting an abundant amount of BSODs while gaming, for quite some time now. It's basicly bound to happen, everytime I play a game, after 15 to 45 minutes.
How ever, it may (even though by far less frequently) happen while surfing.
The BSODs Names range from SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION over PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA to BAD_POOL_HEADER , which occur most frequently.
I attached the minidumps from the last few days.
The files or services that BlueScreenView suggests to have caused the BSOD are mainly the following:
- atikmdag.sys
- ntoskrnl.exe
- win32k.sys
- dxgmms1.sys
- dxgkrnl.sys
As a layman I'd say this sounds a lot like GPU / GPU Driver related errors, plus, it mainly happens while playing GPU heavy games (BFBC2, GTA4 at the moment).
Steps I have done so far:
- Deinstalled Pen Tablet Drivers (BSODs occured somewhat from the same time)
- Deinstalled NIS
- Deinstalled ATI CCC and Installed ATI Drivers without CCC
- Deinstalled Daemon Tools
- Ran memtestx86 (2 runthroughs - no errors)
- Ran check disk (no errors)
- Ran system drivers check (no errors)
- Swapped RAM Slots
- Took 1 RAM out
- Swapped remaining RAM with one i took out
- Put both back in
- Checked all fans are running
- Watched temperatures while playing (not even close to 60 or 55 C° , so no overheating at all)
I'm running out of ideas, I'd love to hear if anyone has any advice left for me to try out.
I did not yet convince myself it'd be a good idea to replace ntsokrnl.exe even though some websites advise it.
May it also be my hard disks dying? Or may it even be a late Windows 7 Update causing the trouble (I have read many posts like mine elsewhere lately)?
Since I guess it's a driver issue, can someone point out to me, which ones I should update/remove/reinstall and howI should do that?

I'm not overclocking anything, haven't changed any BIOS settings, but also never updated it since I got the new hardware somewhen 2010 (?).
Basic PC Specs:
Windows 7 64-bit Service Pack 1 (didnt notice that until now... are there newer SPs?)
ASRock H55M Pro - Mainboard
Intel Core i5 750 - CPU
2x GEIL 2GB CL7-7-7 DDR3-1333 (I'm wondering whether my Frequencys are correct?) - RAM
Radeon HD5770 - GPU
Is there anything else I should post for further information?
Edit: thanks for moving =)
