BSOD and crashes after booting up (atikmpag.sys & MEMORY_MANAGEMENT)
Computer will just freeze, BSOD, or monitors go into standby. I then have to hold the power button and reboot, which sometimes it will get better after a few times.
Used to be rare problem, now is very consistent (every day, most commonly soon after it boots up).
If it goes okay for the first 30 minutes, it usually doesn't crash at all for the night, and I can resume doing stuff like play video games.
Here are my BSOD logs and Reliability Monitor screenshot
Note: I've been using a 500W PSU to power my 550W R9 280 for a year now, but not sure which component is at fault.

I am on Windows 10, 12gb RAM, i5-2500, R9 280, PSU 500W.
1) What usually happens is one of the following:
* BSOD: usually either error with atikmpag.sys, or MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
* Everything will just freeze. Audio will go on for a bit, but everything is stuck for a few minutes before it reboots itself.
* Monitors just go into standby mode. Computer will still be powered and whirring, but is frozen.
2) Then it will either:
* Power on again. Monitors will stay black, doesn't show BIOS, it will whir for a bit but then power off itself again. Repeat cycle a few times.
* Power on, show BIOS, but then power off itself.
The freeze will usually happen on certain occasions like:
- Just did something graphics related (change netflix episode, start an Overwatch game)
- Sometimes if I've left the computer for a bit right after I boot, the moment I move my mouse it will crash
What I've tried:
- I've changed RAM
- I've uninstalled and reinstalled ATI drivers (made the problem occur less but still happens)
Thanks heaps, would appreciate any help or an upvote.
