No BSOD - just a crash when playing Prince of Persia :(

DMP file attached. I've had issues with my system crashing at completely random times. I posted here before and got the recommendation that it could be vid card drivers. I updated those and thought I was out of the woods as I haven't had the random crashes. But I still get them when playing Prince of Persia, Sands of Time. Sad!

Any help/suggestions are appreciated - thanks!!!

this one was caused by you video driver. I suggest you compeletly uninstall all of the ati things and download and install a fresh copy

Would also run a system file check
type cmd in search>right click and run as admin>SFC /SCANNOW

Let us know the results

Just a little trick, use Driver Sweeper available throught guru3d website. When yours ATI drivers have been uninstalled throught the device manager in the configuration panel, right after run Driver Sweeper and select everything related to ATI.

Do that before you reboot after uninstalling your ATI drivers.

Pretty sure this can help sove any conflict betweens files.
