Hello, for the past few weeks I've been trying to fix this and what I have tried so far is reinstalling my drivers (with DDU) and I've also tried using older driver versions and the latest so it's not driver related. I've tried cleaning my pc, updating my BIOS, changing antivirus, and I can't seem to find out how to fix it myself.

My specs:
OS: 64-bit Windows 7 Professional
Processor: Intel i5-4460
Memory: 8GB RAM
Graphics Card: XFX R7 260x
Hard Drive: 2TB Seagate

Looking at the minidump files it points at files called atikmdag.sys and dxgkrnl.sys which makes me assume it's my GPU.

Any suggestions are appreciated, I've attatched the .zip with more info about my computer.

Hello an welcome Prad mate there are some problem devices - see pic and the dumps are showing some graphics problems as you know however I do not see the ati you mentioned it usually is advised to uninstall the Catalyst Control Centre and run the device driver on it's own Download Drivers < use this as generally speaking most of us will tell members not to use a mirror site or driver software over the manufacturers site the mirror sites cause more issues than they are worth

I've updated those problem devices and crashed again, and I do use the manufacturers site. I've tried using old drivers and the latest and also tried doing a clean install of the drivers with no avail.
