So basicly, the error started around 2-3 months ago, got 3 BSOD's in a day and decided to see tommorow if it will happen again, and somehow it stopped.
Now it started happening again, reading the minidump in windbg i saw that it said that it's a hardware based problem and i want to point out several things
-PC runs fine with no graphics card driver
-BSOD consists of either a grey screen or vertical lines
-Sometimes my i get the vertical lines and then the screen turns normal again, saying ''display driver stopped responding and has recovered'', after 20 seconds my PC crashes as usual.
I also run memtest and everything was normal, i also scanned my hard drive with command in CMD
Here is the download link for my minidump (http://www.filedropper.com/041915-28766-01)

Also here are some of my specs
Motherboard:MSI 760GM-P23 (FX)
Graphics card:AMD radeon HD 7770 (powercolor)
CPU:AMD phenom II X4 955
PSU:Raidmax RX-600AF (600w)
I'd also like to mention that i did not overclock anything and that i downgraded from windows 8.1 to windows 7, two times.

What will the clean boot do ?
I already am in safe-mode with networking so i already have most drivers disabled.
And another thing, if i run windows normally and unistall my graphics driver, my pc will no longer crash.
And i already tried getting a new driver or an old one, still makes my PC crash.

This is clean boot:

Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box, and then press Enter to start the System Configuration utility. ...
Click the Services tab, and then click to select the Hide all Microsoft services check box.

You may have something running that causes the crash. By doing the above you can disable all non MS drivers.
Uncheck one driver then boot. repeat this till you possibly find the offending drivers.

But i already know that the driver in question is the graphics card driver, and as i said before, unistalling/disabling it will make the problem go away, but still won't solve the problem or help me.

OK mate. Since that motherboard has only one PCI express 16 slot you can't swap lanes to test if the card is faulty right?

I can only suggest you either:

1) Try the card out in a friends PC.
2) remove the GPU drivers,shut down the PC and remove the GPU. Then do a repair install of your operating system using the disk (If you have one)
3) Once completed install your GPU and install the drivers.

Also, event viewer gave me this:
A fatal hardware error has occurred.

Component: AMD Northbridge
Error Source: Machine Check Exception
Error Type: HyperTransport Watchdog Timeout Error
Processor ID: 0

It's crazy, the crash itself with vertical lines tells me it's the graphics card
Minidump looks like it's the processor
and the event viewer tells me it's the motherboard.
And yeah, i'll try what you said tommorow.

Motherboard could be dying. Good luck.

I should had wrote that better, what i meant was that starting things like video games or when i need to use a plugin in chrome like Unity web player etc. i get a crash.
I've done an antivirus scan yesterday and browsed in internet explorer, and in that time i got no BSOD.
But as soon as i started a game, my pc got those vertical lines again and it automaticly restarted.
I entirely removed the graphics drivers today and installed new ones, everything was doing fine and then it crashed when i started my game.
