Repeated BSOD right after opening any game, or any application for the matter.

[Travanj]

Recently i updated to Catalyst Driver 14.9

Last night it was working just fine. Then today after I turned on my PC to play Dota 2, it suddenly went BSOD on me. At first i thought it was the temp of my CPU. So i opened Speccy and the temp was around 54C (Same as the reading on my Bios) w/c is like my everyday CPU temp. Then suddenly after i closed Speccy it went BSOD again. Did this a couple of times and even tried to Open other games like Dragon Age: Origins and Transformers: Fall of Cybertron and the moment the "loading screen" for the game appears, it directly goes to BSOD. I tried opening Adobe CS:6 and it also gave me the same results.


Some things you need to know:

• 
  >>I used memtest but it said there were no problems
  >>The Processor is newly bought and was installed as an upgrade from my previous A4-5300
  >>Also installed a new cooler, Gammaxx S40 didn't fit at first but was able to make it fit (although a bit too tight i think)
  >>Google chrome keeps on crashing. Also having problems loading pages that uses flash and will suddenly go into BSOD

run malwarebytes scan and see if it thinks AMDH264Enc32.dll is a malware file.
here is the debug info on the file:

ok, I think you were running Raptr's gaming platform in a 32bit emulation under the WOW64 subsystem
and the game platform is infected with malware and It somehow caused a bugcheck.
you want to remove the AMDH264Enc32.dll

but I am not sure.


-----------

looking at your bughceck data. What hosting operating system are you running?
This looks like windows 7 running on a emulator, hypervisor, or virtualization software.

well whatever you are running, you might want to look at the file
C:\Program Files\Common Files\ATI Technologies\Multimedia\AMDh264Enc32.dll
http://www.herdprotect.com/amdh264enc32.dll-531f8de00b81733da8bf3a9f399d5a5a85c29f6f.aspx
guess it could be malware.

is this some 32bit gaming platform from raptr ?
maybe a bugcheck generated from within the SysWow64 subsystem?
(I have never seen one of those)

I'm having the same problem and I just installed the new Catalyst Driver update (14.9). I can run safe mode fine but my computer tends to lock up or BSOD when I'm downloading from Steam or watching videos on YouTube. My guess is 14.9 isn't compatible with something in windows...

Does yours occur only on steam games? or other apps as well?

It's only happening in Steam for me.
