GRAPHICS_DRIVER_TDR_FAULT 0x116, constant atikmpag.sys BSODs
Hello Seven Forums, I'm ePeen and I hail from OCN. I have decided to come here as I know there are very many intelligent members here that can hopefully help me solve my issue.
System Specs (NOTHING IS OVERCLOCKED, ALL AT STOCK):
I am 100% at my wits end. I am frustrated because I JUST got done with putting my computer back together after my SATA controler died. I am plagued with atikmpag.sys BSODs, and I am at my wits end with this, I can't put up with it anymore, so I need help. I am now convinced this issue is not software related since I have reformatted and STILL have these BSODs.i7 2600k

Please read everything I have written to help me to the best of your ability, I will try anything.. I cannot put up with these BSODs anymore.
I have tried:
- Full uninstall and reinstall of GPU drivers
- Going from the traditional 11.10 (what I have been using for awhile) to 11.12, no avail.
- Pax drivers rather than Creative official drivers.
- Reformatting Windows and installing a fresh 11.12 + cap as well as Creative's official drivers.
- None of my hardware is overclocked.
I have a feeling this is related to my multi monitiors, but I do not know, because I blue screened before I had the three monitors while playing L4D2 one night. It only happens, and by only, I mean ONLY HAPPENS when I start up a video game, or am playing a video game. It does not happen idle, or at least has not happened at all in the old Windows installation, and the new Windows installation.
For example, I installed Killing Floor before. I went to start it up and all three of my monitors flickered black rapidly, and then also showed the desktop at some points. Eventually, it crashed and displayed an error, which I do not remember. I started it up again, but this time it worked, and I play for about an hour and all was well. I just installed the Diablo 3 beta, went to start it up, and as it was loading, all three of my monitors rapidly flickered, and then my rig proceeded to lock up, and then BSOD'd.
At this point, I am convinced one of my cards is on its way out, but as you see, I have no idea and I cannot be sure.
Here is a dump file which you can quickly download and take a look at if you know how to read them, just to see if you get any additional information more than I could.
I'd just like to note that every single BSOD is atikmpag.sys related, there have been NO other types. I don't know if any other piece of failing hardware can cause a atikmpag.sys BSOD, so if not, it's definitely one of my GPUs.
If it's of any consolation, these issues started happening right after my previous P8P67 Pro SATA controller shorted and killed my previous F3 1TB as well. After I got brand new parts (both HDD and MOBO) back from RMA and put it together, the problems began.
Edit 1: A user on OCN recommended I save both of my BIOS'es using GPU-z so he could take a look. Well, as I went to save the BIOS on my first GPU, my rig froze, but I could hear audio. My friends on Skype said "Woah.. Pat, we can hear ourselves", and then all three of my monitors went black and into standby (orange light). After about 15 seconds, the Skype audio stopped. I hard shut down and powered back up...
