I first got the BSOD with the error atikmdag.sys, playing a game and checked online and it was suggested I update drivers for my graphics card. Once I updated the drivers my computer wouldn't recognize the graphics card at all no matter what I did so I system restored back hoping that would at least give me use of my graphics card back. That worked, but then I started at random times not just in a game get the same atikmdag.sys error. So I tried a different version of drivers for my graphics card and during install I got an error for atihdw76.sys. During all of this I also had hard drive errors show up but nothing involving BSOD's

I never got the BSOD during games until this week playing Deus Ex: Human revolution (actually not even playing it happened as soon as I ended the opening cut scene and tried to move the character), but after that I started getting it in other games as well.

Thanks for the help.

I would recommend purchasing and installing a genuine Windows 7 installation to minimise the problems you are experiencing. An ACER OEM cannot be installed to a retail motherboard and report genuine without the assistance of an activation exploit, rendering the installation counterfeit..
