-AMD external event utility
-AMD fuel service

after disabling these 3 services system is working fine.so i want to know can any one please tell me which is the normally observed service among these 3 which is normally causes pc crash?

It can happen at times, that some services become an anomaly. What Google app you have installed..?

What suggest you use Driver Sweeper. Remove all ATI remnants and mount the drivers again.

Picasa does that some times. Remove all and install one by one to see which one is causing trouble.
