That dump is blaming your ATI driver again.

Code:

Probably caused by : atikmpag.sys ( atikmpag+7f09 )

Try completely uninstalling the graphics driver then rebooting and installing the driver again but without the catalyst control center.

i thought of that too but how to install without ccc?should i look into the subfolders of the package i downloaded from asus ?

You could download the latest driver from the ATI site then when installing select custom install and you should get the option to not install ccc from there.

~~The ATI is down for maintenance atm though.~~

hmmm so i uninstall my graphics driver but as soon as i reboot into os windows device manager auto updates its drivers.. also got to notify me before download and install but didnt seem to work.
The driver its on though doesnt install ccc.So what should i do ?

Just give it a try, atm that's all you can do.

ok so did that again, i downloaded from amd this time, but i can only install it with catalyst control manager,the option is greyed out , i cant uncheck it.Another thing i saw someone say run verifier so i did.. and i had no crashes.
What does that mean?

Edit: I have been running the game for 1 and a half hour and just crashed onto desktop once(no bsod),which is very good compared to what i had , i blaim the game for this crash because i hear it has random crashes or freezes.Will update in 2-3 hours if everything goes well.
Edit2:I have been playing 3 hours straight, no bsdos or anything,this is so nice,i would like to keep the thread not solved for the time,cuz its only been some hours.
Thanks

Your latest dump shows a repeated failure of ATI display driver.

Code:

Can you tell us, was the situation the same when you were using the April's version of display driver?
If not, First uninstall the current one using Driver fusion, and then reinstall that one step older one.

To avoid CCC, after downloading follow the method: Driver Install - Device Manager.
Do it under display adapter, and while searching for the driver, point it to the location where the downloaded driver is situated.

Let us know the result.
