ASUS K42Jr

OS Version: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU Q 740 @ 1.73GHz, Intel64 Family 6 Model 30 Stepping 5
Processor Count: 8
RAM: 8117 Mb
Graphics Card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470, 1024 Mb
Motherboard: ASUSTeK Computer Inc., K42Jr
Antivirus: Norton Internet Security, Updated and Enabled

I would get a random black screen while playing an online game on my laptop (this happens randomly but usually 15-30mins after starting Windows and start playing the game). After the black screen appeared, it would automatically reboot to this windows error recovery page with options to go into safe mode (networking/command prompt) or just boot windows normally.

I chose to boot Windows normally but after getting into Windows 7 and started playing a while, a random BSOD would appear. It has happened for 2-3 days straight. The attached is the mini dump.

Note: I did not install anything new to my laptop, I have ran chkdsk and sfc /scannow and found nothing.

I have no idea what caused the black screen and the BSOD.

Here's the pic of the BSOD:

I'm a little leary about just renaming the Win32k.sys file, but this article says that Windows will recreate it automatically after you rename it and close/re-open the Explorer window: http://ezinearticles.com/?Fix-Win32k-Sys-Blue-Screen-Easily&id=6038747

Use at your own risk.

I would suggest updating the OS via Windows Updates, and download/install ALL updates, not just the "critical" ones. Also, update your video drivers from the manufacturer's site, not the MS drivers.

I am unable to download Speedy PC Pro.. looks like it is blocked by the ISP. Any other suggestion for this issue? Thanks in advance.

Edited: Adding minidump files.

Looks like video drivers. I would do the Windows Updates (all, not just "critical"), then download the latest video drivers from the manufacturer site and install them.
