So whenever I play a PC game, it will randomly freeze my computer. Before what was happening is I would get a bluescreen that said "attempt to reset display driver and recover from timeout failed." So I uninstalled my driver and re-installed a new one from the drivers website and I still got the bluescreen. I made sure it was the latest version and I avoided beta drivers. I then applied the latest windows update as well as scan for viruses and malware. I removed everything these scans found, applied the newest windows update but now instead of giving me the bluescreen, it just freezes my whole computer and I have to restart. So how can I fix this problem?

Here are my specs:
CPU: Intel Core i3 2120 3.3GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon 6850
OS: Windows 7
Ram: 8gb
