Hello,
I bought a computer about two weeks ago and I have received the BSOD message 4 times since then. I thought about returning it for another but fear I will just get the same problem since it seems to be a pretty common for windows 8. I am having a bit of a problem here. From some reading I keep getting that this is a video driver problem. AMD provides software (as I'm sure you know) that updates the drivers for you. That program says my drivers are up to date. My device manager shows there to be an update. When I first got this problem I updated through device manager. Most recently I have updated from the website itself and device manager still shows there to be an update which I have not gotten. It's also been a hard problem to figure out because it only gives me the BSOD every 3-4 days. I'm not very computer savvy so I've been looking at websites that give more in depth instructions on how to do these things.
I am getting this message
