Having problems with BSOD in a few games like Conviction and Dead Island more recently. Have updated all drivers and such and even used Driver Sweeper and re-installed them and still getting the same problem. Only get about a minutes worth of gameplay and it crashes.
I am able to play games like Brink and the new Flashpoint though which i find a little strange but yeah.
Have attached the files as requested. Any help would be greatly appreciated cause im all out of ideas.

looks like you are having a graphics driver issue.

First thing I would try is wiping it out with driver sweeper
Phyxion.net - Driver Sweeper
and then reinstalling the latest.
ATI Radeon
Important to use driver sweeper (http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/69585-safe-mode.html is even recommended by most)

At any rate it's definitely the driver faulting in the three minidumps you provided.

Code:
Probably caused by : atikmpag.sys ( atikmpag+7a48 )

Thanks for that, Gave it a go and actually got some results.
Managed to play Dead Island for about 30 mins before BSOD again, for the same reason as all the others.
Any further wisdom?

Well I ran into someone with a similar problem recently the solution was actually to return to a driver version from the first of this year.
It solved the crashes in that instance.
The archived drivers are available through the amd website.

If you've fallen behind on windows updates, it never hurts to apply those as well.
