So this problem comes up only when I'm playing a game and it started with just my display driver crashing one day, then the next day I got a blue screen and the day after that it was another blue screen. The crash report and minidumps:

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1
Locale ID: 1033

Additional information about the problem:

When i searched for a possible solution, all I found were things like "Get the latest video drivers" or "Your PSU isn't providing enough power." While I'm not too sure whether the PSU is good enough, I do know that all my drivers are up to date.

In the case that it might be something within the build itself then here are the specs:

-CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor
-Motherboard: Asus M5A78L-M LX Plus Micro ATX AM3+ Mobo
-Memory: GeIL EVO Veloce Series 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
-Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
-Video Card: Gigabyte Radeon R9 270 2GB WINDFORCE Video Card
-PSU: Corsair Builder 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
-Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer
-Case: Thermaltake VL800P1W2N (Black/Red) ATX Mid Tower Case (Black Edition)
-Os: Windows 7 Ultimate

I also used my computers Problem Reporting program and this came up:

Windows
Problem: Video hardware error
Files that help describe the problem:
WD-20140517-2226.dmp
sysdata.xml
WERInternalMetadata.xml

Warning: If a virus or other security threat caused the problem, opening a copy of the files could harm your computer.

I'm not sure where to find the dmp files for this one because it wasn't in the minidumps folder along with the other two.

I know there are common solutions to this problem, but none of them seem to be working for me. If someone could help me with this it would be greatly appreciated and if there's any information I'm missing then please let me know.

Note that it's not always possible to state with certainty whether a reported driver is actually responsible for crashing your system or that the root cause is in another module. Nonetheless it's suggested you look for updates for the products that these drivers belong to and regularly visit Windows update or enable automatic updates for Windows. In case a piece of malfunctioning hardware is causing trouble, a search with Google on the bug check errors together with the model name and brand of your computer may help you investigate this further.

I'm going to try downloading that driver update and see if it works, then I'll report back here.

Yeah that WhoCrashed program worked perfectly. According to my computer the driver was up to date, but that program was telling me otherwise and it was correct. Just updating the AMD Catalyst Control Center fixed it right up and I haven't had anything problems after. Thanks for the help!
