You are suffering a problem with your ati graphics driver.
If you tell me a little more about your system I will give you some specific instructions.
It would help to know
make/model - if prebuilt
specs as best as you know them - if homemade.

Especially right now I need to know which ati radeon graphics card you have.

 

[jay93]

ok i have amd athlon2-240 2.80ghz ,
asus m4a74-am motherboard
sapphire radeon 5670 1gb
WD 320 gd HDD
3gbs of ram dual channel both of kingston
PSU with 500watt supply
and a hp dvd rw

Hi jay93
you have the atikmpag.sys,this is ati graphic issue.
Please Download the most updated ati graphic driver from AMD Graphics Drivers & Software
Uninstall ati software/driver,restart,install the new driver,restart.
Update DirectX
Check GPU temperatures
Need For Speed also cause issues.
---------------
Wait,for results and post back.

 

[jay93]

driver's are up-to-date so is direct-x and gpu temp have never gone above 55c

 

[jay93]

oops ati driver is out of date m updating it but what bout rest of BSOD's

 

[Maguscreed]

If we get another crash after that what I want you to do is remove the ati software suite (graphics driver included) in safe mode with this tool
Phyxion.net - Driver Sweeper

Afterwards reboot normal and reinstall the latest driver again. Sometimes a tiny piece of a previous install is left behind and continues to cause problems.

 

[jay93]

and wat bout other BSOD's ? are the of same . i found all of them with different reasons to crash

 

[Maguscreed]

The pctools file system driver crashed.
the NTkernel had a random crash (most likely caused by the other two driver issues)

The earliest one is actually the most worrying as it points to the processor management.
That could be a really bad thing. Lets deal with the solveable drivers for the moment
Follow the above for graphics, and honestly I would just remove pctools right now.

 

[jay93]

i removed it actually i also know to open minidumps but m not so smart in all drivers and related errors but i removed pc tools and downloading ati drivers.what is this processor management error can u say.give it a remedy? and nt kernel caused due to driver conflict ?

 

[Maguscreed]

Yes, at the moment I'm hoping the error message was caused by a hard fault from one of the other two drivers.
The component itself is a amd component that windows loads itself.
If you want to check for windows file corruption sfc is the easiest way.

I definitely agree with Maguscreed about the pc tools remove!
Pc tools are famous bsod source.
