BSOD issues upon boot up of games or while playing them
First off, I would like to thank everyone taking a look at this thread to help solve this problem.
OK, this all started about two months ago, that I remember, while I was playing Final Fantasy 11 and my screen suddenly starts to flicker a bit then went black and came back on saying that the computer recovered from a Display Driver error. I rebooted the game and tried to play it again and got the same result a few hours later. At this point, I booted CPUID to check and see if anything was overheating. Everything was at an ok temp, so with the program still running I tried the game again everything was still reading fine. Only this time when it did happen the screen went black it flashed green then went to the blue screen with the stop error. The games I play normally peak at 63c. I recently ran FurMark and let the card hit 74c before I shut the program off, it was getting a little warm for my taste. The system didn't freeze up while running it. I'm not certain if it created a .dmp file that time but I did .zip file all the .dmps I've had this year so far since they are all around the same time period and placed them in the link.

Since then, I've been looking around on forums and researching my issue. So far I've done memory tests, made sure my bios, chipset, and drivers are up to date, performed check disk scans and windows file scans. Everything checked out fine. I've also attempted to roll back, uninstall (with driver sweeper), and reinstall my display drivers with ones from several different dates. They worked for a little while but always produced the same problem as above in the end. I've tried system restore. Also, the action center did not provide any solutions to my problem. My software is up to date along with drivers. Safe mode did not really help me find my problem. I would typically get amdkmdap.sys or atikmpag.sys(0x116), but I have had plenty of others. This error does not happen in the same points; it happens at random times. But after I reboot after the error has come up, it happens again in less than 15 mins unless I fully uninstall/reinstall display drivers or let the computer set for several hours. Then it will return to happening randomly.
