Your Verifier enabled crash indicates your ATI driver. Try installing the 11.9 driver and see if the problems persist. Some have had problems with the 12.x drivers on their systems.

if i get another blue screen i'll revert back to cat 11.9 as you suggest.
ive had a lot less blue screens since i got the help from this thread
If you still have Verifier enabled, you will continue to get crashes because it intentionally stresses the drivers. They may be false positives, but we cannot be sure until we see the reports.
Verifier enabled .dmp file still indicates your graphics card driver as the cause. Strange...
Pretty safe bet the graphics card failed on you. However, just to be sure, try a hardware stripdown.
WarningBefore you proceed with the following, answer these two questions: Are you still under warranty? Does your warranty allow you to open up the machine to check hardware? If you are unsure of the answers to these questions, contact your system manufacturer. WARNING: The steps that follow can void your warranty!!!
Strip down your system to run only the bare essentials: one RAM module, the CPU, motherboard, one hard disk, one graphics card (or use onboard graphics if you have it), keyboard, mouse, and one monitor. See how the system behaves. If it is able to start, add one piece of hardware back at a time until you can no longer start. Take notes of what hardware you add and how the system responds to the hardware changes.
As you add and remove hardware, follow these steps for ESD safety:
- Shut down and turn off your computer.
- Unplug all power supplies to the computer (AC Power then battery for laptops, AC power for desktops)
- Hold down the power button for 30 seconds to close the circuit and ensure all power drains from components.
- Make sure you are grounded by using proper grounding techniques, i.e. work on an anti-static workbench, anti-static desk, or an anti-static pad. Hold something metallic while touching it to the anti-static surface, or use an anti-static wristband to attach to the anti-static material while working. If you do not have an anti-static workbench, desk, or pad, you can use your computer tower/case by finding a metal hold in it, such as a drive bay.
Once these steps have been followed, it is safe to remove and replace components within your computer.
