Bsod when playing games/videos VIDEO_TDR_ERROR

[qfg1vga]

Hello everyone and thank you for your time. First of all I am a bit of a newb when it comes to PC's, your patience is appreciated. I have a Lenovo notebook thinkpad 2847-6qg, and I've been experiencing BSODS for about two months now. I've checked hundreds of posts, read a lot but I came up with no solution. The game that I play is dota 2. The crash is something like: screen freezes, I can still hear sounds for 2-3 seconds, after that the screen goes black flashes a bit and the pc restarts.
Potential useful info:
1. Originally I had 2x2gb RAM cards, I removed one which eventually broke, so now I only have 1 x 2gb ram.(Ran memtest for 12 passes 0 fails.)
2.My video card is an Ati mobility radeon hd 4500/5100 or 4500 or 545v depending on the driver I install.
3.On everest I cannot acces "gpu" , PCI/AGP video (from display) as well as SPD and Chipset(from Motherboard)
4.EVEREST: On motherboard details I get : Motherboard name: Unknown
5.EVEREST: On computer/sensor: my only temperatures readings are:CPU 38 C,Samsung HM250JI 39 C.
6. When I enter bios, which seems to be up to date (2012) I don't have any graphic options, on "display".
The only thing I have is the Monitor.
7.If I install GPU-Z it detects the GPU temperature at 42 C when in Windows, speed fan 30%, speedfan (RPM) --RPM , GPU load 0%
8.After a bsod sometimes, not always, I get artifacts on windows loading screen, from the 1st second the restart happens until it actually loads windows.
9.Sometimes I can play without getting bsod(rarely) 1-2-3 days. after the laptop sleeps it sometimes restarts after trying to wake up. after that blue screens occur again.
Note: I use driver fusion + ccleaner after uninstalling a driver.
I've been trying for the last two months to fix it but no success.(installed dozens of different drivers, cleaned the fan-I get decent
I also run TPFanControl at level 7 all the time, so I can make sure its not a heating issue.

I will now post the analysis from WhoCrashed:

Stop 0x116 is a display related error. And, your display driver is kinda old. Update your ATI/AMD display driver.
You can get it from the link in our forum, http://www.sevenforums.com/graphic-...alyst-video-driver-windows-7-a.html#post17671, or you may go to AMD Graphics Driver and Software and opt for Automatically Detect and Install the appropriate driver for your card.

During installation, you may opt for advanced installation, and install the display driver only, not the Catalyst Control Center.

If problems persist, follow http://www.sevenforums.com/crash-lo...op-0x116-video_tdr_error-troubleshooting.html

I already did that about 5 times already...The reason why you see it as old is because I just uninstalled it to try something different or whatever you suggest. Also, what can you tell me about the "misssing" gpu page on everest/temperature. ? Also the bios's lack of graphic options ? Thank you.
I've read the link you posted. I did a test with atitool to see if any artifacts show up when gpu is stressed: nothing. It worked fine.

As suggested by NoelDP:

Post a report following the http://www.sevenforums.com/windows-...4840-windows-update-posting-instructions.html.

 

[qfg1vga]

Update:
I have installed

System Update Readiness Tool for Windows 7 (KB947821), it installed successfully.
After that I had two new windows updates ready which I tried to install but failed:
One was a driver update for ati mobility radeon hd 4500 and the other was a security update:
Code 800B0100
Code 80070103

 

[NoelDP]

We need the data from the log to be able to help- the tool often only points out failures.

 

[qfg1vga]

Update:
I ran the sfc scannow in cmd, no integrity errors shown.
I'm attaching the CBS folder

 

[NoelDP]

Your problems with Windows Update originate from these errors....

You'll need to clear the SoftwareDistribution folder - but if you're willing to do a test or two, I'd like to try doing it selectively, rather that the more usual wholesale deletion.

If you're OK with that, please follow these instructions.

Open an Elevated Command Prompt, and run the following commands..

NET STOP WUAUSERV
DIR C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download /S >>"%userprofile%"\desktop\npsdfiles.log
NET START WUAUSERV

That will create a file npsdfiles.log on your desktop - please attach that to a reply.
Then I'll see what I can do about a repair, rather than a deletion.

 

[qfg1vga]

Thank you Noel for your help so far. I did what you instructed me.I dont know what an Elevated Command Prompt is but I ran Command Prompt as administrator. here is the file.
Once again, thank you.

 

[NoelDP]

Interesting - the referenced folder doesn't exist in the SoftwareDistribution folder.

In that case, there's not a lot I can do except recommend the usual solution of renaming the folder

Please open an Elevated (Admin) Command Prompt, and run the following commands.

NET STOP WUAUSERV
REN C:\WINDOWS\SOFTWAREDISTRIBUTION SDOLD
NET START WUAUSERV

Then WAIT 15 minutes. before rebooting and waiting a further 15 minutes.
Then run another SFC /SCANNOW and post the new CBS.log

 

[qfg1vga]

I did everything, here is the new cbs.
