A problem with your video hardware caused Windows to stop working

I got this message yesterday : "A problem with your video hardware caused Windows to stop working correctly."

I'm including all the necessary files and a screenshot. Hope someone can help thanks a lot !

O I forgot to mention I was running Aero when it happened and basically a few second later Windows said something to the effect of Windows Recovered from an error. Just wondering would I have to update my video drivers or something ?

What usually causes this sort of error ?

It was caused by your Radeon driver, uninstall it then use driver sweeper to remove leftover driver files
Guru3D - Driver Sweeper

Then reinstall latest Radeon drivers Graphics Drivers & Software

Usual Causes: Bad RAM, outdated drivers, faulty GPU

thanks a lot I'll be doing that you said it could also be faulty RAM ? Should U run a RAM Scan as well ? If I do have faulty RAM how would I go about fixing it ?

And what's a PU ?

Run a memtest if reinstalling the drivers do not work
