Veriton M2120G BSOD "Thread Stuck In Device Driver" during game play.

With all these Windows 10 updates and such over these past couple months, I can't figure out the source of this issue. Any time I play any game on my computer, my CPU turns into a time bomb that eventually crashes to a blue screen of death. I've updated my card to no avail, tried updating my bios only to find confusing instructions by Acer's pdf. I need serious help if this causes crashes on games 3-5 years old that should be in the realm of this computer's abilities.

    before running it, browse to C:\windows\minidump
    delete all files apart the first 2-3 files (newest)
    then install whocrashed and run it
    click on Analyze
    report here the result.

    Ok, the culript seems the ATI/AMD graphic drivers check if there is a new version on Acer support website or look at ATI/AMD website.

    I keep trying to do a clean uninstall of my current driver to do so, but Windows 10 keeps reinstalling it when I restart the computer.

    After a few days of trial and error, I still have the same issue. I am going to try to find an older version of the driver. It didn't start happening until August/September of this year.
