BSOD playing flash games error 0x00000116

I keep getting the BSOD error when playing flash games online. I play other games, disk, steam etc. and it seems fine, and Its never happened when not using flash, e.g on the desktop. Im attaching a minidump file so you can have a look at it. Please help. I cant really confirm the flash only part, but it happens fairly soon after I start playing, and it has not happened on any non flash programmes. For example I play skyrim, crysis, AC etc. And they seem ok

Thank you

Thank you so much :)
Im not sure if its fixed, but I tried a few games and flash videos for a bit, and nothing happened, It could be fixed since the error normally happens very quickly, within a few minutes!

I updated my drivers as you said :) If this fixed it I could never repay you since this is a very expensive gaming computer. Of course I will do some more tests since I cant be sure at all yet, I should at least wait a few days before coming to a conclusion.

Im looking to learn more about computer errors Etc. so that one day I can help people solve them, guess this is just some first hand experience

Anyway, since Im not sure if its fixed I will keep looking. And if it does come back soon then I will post again and see if there are any other Ideas. Do you still need me to post the msinfo file or whatever it was?

Not really but if there were any (known problematic software) I would tell you to uninstall them.

That's all. :)

Damn.... it came back, although i dont think I removed all the ATI driver software last time so that could be it, I will try again
