So a while back I may have been slightly drunk looking for solutions online to get games to play properly, because they kept minimizing to desktop, and followed a trolls advice on a random post. I remembered what I did the following morning to my horror when I tried playing a game, any PC game in fact, and they were all stuttering at about 1 FPS followed by the BSOD. I'm talking even lowest settings on the original COD4, go to load the first prologue mission FNG, it stutters and starts and stutters etc at 1 FPS before crashing. I remember I deleted a file or folder in the system32 section, I was drunk so thats my excuse, something I'd never touch in a million years previously. Its all games that do this so Steam, physical discs etc. Thankfully I took a pic of the BSOD I get, so I'll type it out below, have it on my ipad and I'm using the pc for this.

TECHNICAL INFO
STOP: 0x00000116 (0xFFFFFA800E876010, 0xFFFFF8800400ED48, 0x0000000000000000, 0x000000000000000D)

atikmpag.sys - Address FFFFF8800400ED48 base at FFFFF88004000000, DateStamp 578d3cf4

I presume you needed all of that info and I haven't messed up giving all that, hopefully this post could be edited if I have. Hoping you fine folks can help me solve this embarrassing problem. Thanks for reading
 
Solution
Just in case it is because of that deleted file, and you didn't empty the recycle bin, you can go into recycle bin and restore that file, as long as it wasn't so big that it had to be permanently deleted.
