Blue Screen dump halp

[LinktheDeme]

Well every so often my screen will go blank and my monitor will display some random frequency numbers. Occasionally it will go to a blue screen and sometimes it will just stall.


This is the link to the blue screen dump if anyone can read it or help me learn how to read it I would be very grateful.

On Fri 29/10/2010 15:46:28 your computer crashed
This was likely caused by the following module: atikmpag.sys
Bugcheck code: 0x116 (0xFFFFFA80088112B0, 0xFFFFF88004505F94, 0x0, 0x2)
Error: VIDEO_TDR_ERROR
Dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\102910-17674-01.dmp

TDR is Windows mechanism to recover video drivers when they crash/go unstable, this could indicate either bad drivers or dieing/dead videocard.

Well this was during starcraft 2 and Final Fantasy 14, but there both not the most stable of games.

I was wondering if it could also be related to the power supply since it seems like the video card just stop projecting an image meanwhile the audio still works.

Could, you're gonna have a fun time finding the culprit as it could be basically anything.

How would you go about individually finding out what's wrong? I'm not that great at hardware diagnostics and would greatly appreciate any advice or direction given.
