And would you happen to be using windows 8?
if so it`s not just you, its a common problem with the Ati graphics driver and windows 8.
If your using an old driver or a new one. try another driver, or version number of it from the Amd website, and ati driver support section.
Make sure you uninstall all the old Ati drivers first.
use the geek3d driver sweeper for ati cards to clean out all ati drivers from here, install and run and select ati brand in tab.
then install different ati drivers or a new one depending on your card model.
It should fix the problem you are having ok.

Done but it does nothing, I tried previous versions also driver from MSI website but nothing. I'm looking now to try this http://windows7themes.net/en-us/fix-atikmpag-sys-atikmdag-sys-blue-screen-errors-bsod/ hoping that does something.
It has been nearly a week now that I couldn't update my GPU
Ok, I tried that fix and for now I had just 2 times (and no more) my screen go crazy with lines no signal etc, but no blue screen 
.
Atm I had my pc running normally for 2 hrs and nothing happened, I haven't tried to play any games yet so I will update about how it goes.

UPDATE : I was able to play but after a bit my screen started to show some lines leading to a black screen that caused me to reboot my pc. Now I'm facing this problem only when I'm gaming not while I'm on google, etc. Any ideas about how to solve it?
