Computer Driver Problem?

Well basically, I just recently got my computer repaired after having it treated horribly by UPS when sending it from Oregon to California. It needed a new Motherboards, and a new Graphics Card, which it got, and at first it was all well, and I mean I can watch youtube videos, or be on facebook for Hours, and when I was playing my games at first it was all fine, but then I started blue screening. Any game I play, League of Legends, World of Warcraft, Diablo 3, it just makes me blue screen, and I mean this thing is built for speed, it always recommends me Ultra Graphics, and for the short while WoW was working, it was running great. So after the blue screening, I look up what could be the issue, and on the WoW Website for my error (137) It told me a few things I could do to help. I did all of them but one, and that was update my driver. After hours of googling how, I finally got it I went to Control Panel< Adjust Screen Resolution< Advanced Settings< Properties< Driver< Update Driver and when I pressed the first option to search the internet for the latest version of my Driver, it told me I had the best version, so I googled my Driver online thinking that couldn't be right (AMD Radeon 6900 Series) and I looked for a new download on there, and it told me the same thing, that my driver was up to date. But it must be the driver right? I mean sometimes my computer will stop for a moment, like freeze, flash black, then come back and it'll say something along the lines of "Your driver stopped working, and recovered" What do I do? I really wanna play my games without interruption..

Please format your text to make it readable.  Press the Enter key twice to insert blank lines, and avoid multi-paragraph sized sentences.



The latest Radeon HD 6900-series drive is version 13.9, dated 9/18/2013.  Does this match your driver version?



The motherboard swap may present a problem, if it is not the same model as the first or nearly identical to it, and the original hard disk was reused after the swap without reinstalling Windows.  In this scenario, all the drivers and services intended for the first motherboard are still present, and some are almost certain to be incompatible with the second motherboard.

"Eusebius" said, "Your problem will be fixed by only scanning and repairing bad Registry."  That's quite a leap of intuition, and it's interesting that he directs you to a commercial product, when well-regarded similar software is widely available at no charge.



Smells like SPAM to me.



For the record, I strongly recommend NEVER using any product that claims to clean, optimize, repair, or otherwise "fix" the registry in any way.  One of the very few exceptions I make is for CCleaner, which is designed for very specific and limited purposes.

Have you tried the drivers from Amd.com? They would have the most up to date. Just fill out the form and see if their latest version matches yours. If not then download and install the most recent.

I would recommend a fresh install of windows. If you have AMD's drivers installed and not microsofts, you wouldn't be having any trouble. But if after a fresh install it the problem still occurs the it could be a hardware problem.

Try to turn down your settings on the game. Also the graphics card maybe failing, so therefore you need to purchase another. it may have been exposed to ESD.
