Blue screens occurring during game play, sometimes right away, sometimes after a few hours. was running crossfire HD 6870's. but stepped back to 1 to try and remedy blue screens.. was not successful. tried both cards separately. removing drivers complete, as well as a clean wipe of the OS.
CPU - A8 3.0 Black Edition

running out of ideas...
thanks.
Hello Alex and welcome to Sevenforums.
BSOD Analyse
Your dumps does in fact point to video related events. Therefore, we're having a good perspective of what's going on, and the threads are not too wide. We'll be working on some troubleshooting steps I recommend, and hopefully we'll draw out some conclusions.
Graphic Driver
The Graphic driver usually points out when the 0x116 bugcheck code triggers, and by that we want to get a clean install of a new driver, and avoid having left-over files. If you're having any questions on the tutorial below, just ask away.
i) Make your way to ATI Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers
ii) Uninstall the one you currently have and all its extensions
iii) Download Driver Sweeper
iv) Get to safe mode (without network) and search for Driver Sweeper in your
v) Select all the ATI components and analyse them
vi) Clean them, head into Windows without internet and download the driver
Direct-X
There's also some pointers to your Direct-X files. Option one is that it could be the Direct-X files. Option two is that it could be a part of the Windows system files (jump to the third suggestion), as Direct-X is a part of that. To be one the safe side, update your Direct-X files.

Windows Corrupted
We usually ask people to do this command to check if Windows is corrupted. It's the most common one used to check if the Windows files are corrupted. If it'll find errors, it'll restore them.
TipIf you're having a custom customization layer on your Aero, it's likely to get restored to default.
Press Start | search 'cmd' | Right-click it
| open as Admin | type SFC /SCANNOW
SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker
Memory
Looking at your bugcheck it's likely that a memory corruption event also happened. Though a driver could be causing the memory to be borked, but we're usually suggesting a memory test before moving forward. Do a scan with Memtest86+. Memtest is a scanner that'll check your sticks for errors. To ensure that we'll know if it's the slots on the motherboard that's broken, or the sticks itself - we have a little procedure we'll recommend. Remove 1 stick, scan the other with Memtest in the current slot. After 7 passes, move the stick to another slot and scan, and so on and so forth until you've scanned all the sticks, and all the slots, one by one.

- Stop any type of overclocking.
- Blow the Graphic Card fans.
- Make sure that no hidden overclocking feature is on.
- Download Speccy and make sure that temperatures are stable.
- Make sure that the games you're playing has the latest updates and look for Q&A's, fixes and compatibilities.
Your 3rd party drivers seems OK.
Devices
Click Start | Search for 'devmgmt.msc' | Expand all the dropdowns

Report if it has those.
Hope this helps,

Hey,
i wiped the drivers and reinstalled after using driver sweeper.
I'm curious, why wouldn't the problem have been remedied after doing a clean wipe of windows? if it was a driver based issue that is..
i ran memtest as well and it came up with no faults.
took like and hour+... does it always take that long, i couldn't imagine doing it 7 times...?
anyways I'm not sure if the problem is fix for sure yet, i ran BF3 all evening and it was fine. but i mean sometimes it does that.. ill repost if i get another blue screen.
-thanks Frederik
Weird things happens. Hardware affects drivers, drivers affects hardware. Windows affects drivers and so on and so forth. Everything is possible, and no one has the answer to everything within technology.
It usually takes that long, actually longer. It's normal.took like and hour+... does it always take that long, i couldn't imagine doing it 7 times...?
Upload any new dump!
Best Regards,
Frederik.
