    Lets try once more. This is from 18th of april this year. If you already have it... we need to look for something else.

    Download Details - Microsoft Download Center - DirectX Redist (June 2010)

    This one is clear. It is still the ATI graphics driver that crashed. This could be caused by driver incompatibility (if you did not succeed in fully de-installing old). Or due to a HW failure in your card.

    Lets test the latter first. Take out your graphics card and use the onboard graphics?

    Also... was this pc functioning correctly in this hardware configuration before you installed W7? I've seen some reviews that seem to claim that your mobo cannot handle that cpu?? But if you've worked fine in the last three years that must be old or wrong info.

    Looking through the dump there is one other possibility, a long shot but I've seen it before...:
    The dump has had difficulty with some of Norton's drivers. We have seen problems with Norton that appear as though it is HW or drivers.
    As a test I would fully de-install Norton and temporarily use MSE or Avast!, both free.
    Please see these links for uninstalling your AV:
    Uninstallers (removal tools) for common antivirus software - ESET Knowledgebase
    or here

    Ultimate Collection of Uninstallers / Removal Tools for All Popular Anti-Virus Software - Tweaking with Vishal

    Then reboot.
    Sometimes these uninstallers do not remove all they should out of Registry:
    Run CCleaner, both regular and registry.

    Next install your preferred AV immediately.

    My computer worked fine before I installed W7. Only sometimes my graphics card overheated, but I bought a new fan for it.

    So did I understand correctly, that you want me to open the case of my computer, and unplug the graphics card? Or just uninstall it?

    And by the way, I've seen some talking over internet forums too about Norton causing windows 7 BSODs, so I'll uninstall it and download MSE.

    yep, unplug the graphics card and use your onboard graphics... if possible of course.. don't know if you have a monitor and cable with vga connection... This is just to test if it is the graphics card hw.

    But.... always do and test 1 thing at a time... if you tackle Norton first that's fine, test that first and only o the graphics card thing if it still bsods

    Well, now I uninstalled Norton 360 with the program, and installed the MSE, but my computer still gives me BSOD while gaming. I zipped it up again.
