Hello, recently I have been having trouble with a BSOD.

On Mon 6/2/2014 3:58:32 AM GMT your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\060114-14913-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: atikmdag.sys (atikmdag+0x28ECE)
Bugcheck code: 0xA0000001 (0x5, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0)
Error: CUSTOM_ERROR
file path: C:\Windows\system32\drivers\atikmdag.sys
product: ATI Radeon Family
company: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
description: ATI Radeon Kernel Mode Driver
A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: atikmdag.sys (ATI Radeon Kernel Mode Driver, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.).

I have been looking at other threads with people experiencing this problem and I have tried everything. I've updated my drivers, downgraded them, cleaned them, nothing works there. I'm definitely not overheating either... CPU never goes above 44C and GPU never goes above 55C. I've had it crash 2 times on BF3 and 2 times on Borderlands 2 so far. It usually takes a good 3-5 hours before I get the crash. One time my game froze as if it were going to Blue Screen, and the screen went black, and then it reappeared as if nothing even happened. I don't know if its the card itself either. My rig is only 20 days old, and everything is brand new so if it is an actual defect in the card I could still RMA it. I'm just really confused... No other thread has solved this problem for me and I'm quite desperate so any help with be extremely appreciated. Also if you need anymore info on the crash report then just ask, I'm not sure of the policy on BSOD and associated crash reports.

I just checked some websites that list power consumption... A few website varied from 600watts to 800watts to 300watts that I would need for a system like this, could it be that I need a bigger power supply, or am I with 630w?
