BSOD occuring randomly don't know the cause

[Phearo]

I've been having BSODs occuring randomly for the past few days now, from opening a page or loading a game, the BSOD could happen- I don't think there's also an interval between each BSOD, also, I don't hear any beeping and such created by the CPU, but I've never managed to get a proper look at the Screen to know what happened (It would immediately restart my pc)

Sorry to trouble you guys by this, I don't really have much(or any) experience in trouble shooting, but I attached a zip file of the folder I got from the diagnostics tool. Thank you for your help in advance.

Bugcheck 18 is usually caused by a poorly written or otherwise faulty driver. In the last last case, it may be your ATI Radeon drivers. Always download drivers from the manufacturer's site. Don't rely on third-party support for critical drivers. Also, make sure you have the latest version of Firefox and run full malware scan.

You didn't include valuable additional information in your zip file so further diagnostics may not be offered until the complete file set is provided. Good luck.

Thank you. I've rolled back my driver and set the computer to make a complete memory dump.
Also an error from Windows Script Host appeared on startup- error 800C0005 about a msxml3.dll file. I'll post again if I still BSOD.

So just got a BSOD after watching a video. I think I've managed to put all the stuff inside the .zip file now.
I'm gonna try re-updating the ATI drivers, and Scanning the pc again.

Okay, updated firefox, updated ati drivers, and scanned my computer with Malwarebytes- I'm still encountering the problem.
Here's the latest from what I could grab with the diagnostics tool:

You need to update all your ATI drivers including Catalyst Control Center or remove it. The ATI display drivers are still the cause of the Bugcheck 18. This is a driver fault. The drivers are either not compatible with your hardware or not compatible with linking software.

REFERENCE_BY_POINTER (18)
Arguments:
Arg1: 85cbf418, Object type of the object whose reference count is being lowered
Arg2: 873cd080, Object whose reference count is being lowered
Arg3: 00000001, Reserved
Arg4: 00000001, Reserved
The reference count of an object is illegal for the current state of the object.
Each time a driver uses a pointer to an object the driver calls a kernel routine
to increment the reference count of the object. When the driver is done with the
pointer the driver calls another kernel routine to decrement the reference count.
Drivers must match calls to the increment and decrement routines. This bugcheck
can occur because an object's reference count goes to zero while there are still
open handles to the object, in which case the fourth parameter indicates the number
of opened handles. It may also occur when the object’s reference count drops below zero
whether or not there are open handles to the object, and in that case the fourth parameter
contains the actual value of the pointer references count.
