Anybody ? (sorry for double post)

Do a System Restore and remove that TunUP Utilities since it could have messed up your system
Windows 7 does not need any 'TuneUp' software or whatsoever related utilities
Run SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

Code:

TuneUpUtilitiesDriver64.sys        fffff880`03b92000     fffff880`03b9a000    0x00008000    0x4ab2238c    17/09/2009 15:54:52

ASACPI.sys the 2005 version is a huge cause of BSODs

   Information

The 2005 version of this driver is a known BSOD cause.
Please visit this link: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Drivers and Download P7P55D LE
Scroll down to the Utilities category, then scroll down to the "ATK0110 driver for WindowsXP/Vista/Windows 7 32&64-bit" (it's about the 12th item down).
Download and install it.
Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers to check and make sure that the ASACPI.sys file is date stamped from 2009 or 2010 (NOT 2005)

Code:

ASACPI.sys        fffff880`05abd000    fffff880`05ac5000    0x00008000    0x42476c4c    28/03/2005 06:30:36

Update your Nvidia driver NVIDIA DRIVERS 270.61 WHQL

Code:

nvlddmkm.sys        fffff880`04a12000    fffff880`055f6c80    0x00be4c80    0x4c6d3530    19/08/2010 17:44:16

   Information

Please remove any CD virtualization programs such as Daemon Tools and Alcohol 120%. They use a driver, found in your dmp, sptd.sys, that is notorious for causing BSODs. Use this SPTD uninstaller when you're done: DuplexSecure - Downloads
You can use MagicDisc as an alternative.

Code:

sptd.sys        fffff880`010ad000    fffff880`011d3000    0x00126000    0x4ad24632    12/10/2009 00:55:14

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high.  This is usually
caused by drivers using improper addresses.
If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace.
Arguments:
Arg1: ffffac8901ba6d80, memory referenced
Arg2: 0000000000000002, IRQL
Arg3: 0000000000000000, bitfield :
    bit 0 : value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
    bit 3 : value 0 = not an execute operation, 1 = execute operation (only on chips which support this level of status)
Arg4: fffff80002ceee7b, address which referenced memory

Thank you !
What i did :
- I did a system restore
- Unistalled TuneUP Utilities ( I didnt know this program can mess up with my system :S)
-Sfc /scannow the scan did not find any integrity violation
-Updated that Driver ( ASACPI.sys)
-Updated nvidia driver and removed the old one using Driver Sweeper i saw a lot of people saying this is the best way to remove drivers ....
- I removed Deamon Tools and unistalled that sptd.sys file using the link.

Thanks again for your time .
Now i will play some games and if i get bsod ill post.

ASACPI.sys is still loaded in your system, you should update it

Code:

ASACPI.sys        fffff880`05d82000    fffff880`05d8a000    0x00008000    0x42476c4c    28/03/2005 06:30:36

Is your graphic card overclocked? The dumps point to nvlddmkm.sys which is directly related to your graphic card
Please test it
https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...test-occt.html
If any errors are detected in the rests it could mean that your card may be defective
