take a look at this. http://www.techist.com/forums/f9/how-troubleshoot-specific-stop-errors-193301/ have you unistalled your old ati drivers and reinstalled the newest?

sounds like you have a unstable overclock,exact same thing happens to me when my 8800gs core is too high clocked.

 

[BongWizard]

yeah, it sounds like you've got the core clocked too high (or dont have enough voltage)

 

[csaefong]

lol no funny thing is all settings are at default speeds but maybe it is the driver i don't have the latest one.

 

[BongWizard]

sometimes the latest drivers can bug out your system... you might have go with the 8.9/10 drivers

give it a go and see what happens i guess. If it still doesnt work you've really got something to be angry about. Since i got my new 8800gs (old one fried) this one does not overclock nowhere near as good so wen im playing the driver stops responding alot.
