What next?

A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: atikmdag.sys (ATI Radeon Kernel Mode Driver, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.).
Google query: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. CUSTOM_ERROR

I re-installed the latest ati driver that now crashes by dxgkrnl.sys
 
problem has been ongoing for a couple of weeks, I dont think I have installed anything new, I have had the desktop manager stop working for months!
 
have restored to an earlier time, earliest I could and so far so good.
Not overclocked anything on this system
 
cheers for the help - no more BSOD but am still getting the desktop manager has stopped working - cant figure out why, seems to happen when playing games or playing video but only once each time, then all is fine until I start again.
