Mobo bios updated and the driver on the manufacturer's site is 3 months old - anyway, will give that a try.
Nope - cpu and gpu both running at stock speed.

I think I've resolved my issue - here's what i did 
1. Updated Windows using auto update and installed all the critical and non critical updates.
2. Running cpu at stock volt - previously I've under volted the cpu to save power and keep it more cool.
3. Installed driver from manufacturers website - the latest version there is 11.12 but as long as it works it's fine for me.
Now it's time to find what actually caused the issue - will update the driver to the latest version ( fom AMD ) and play with cpu volts again. - I've created a backup for windows drive so now I can experimnet with the latest drivers.

i bet the cpu was unstable due to less voltage.

2 hrs of prime95 is nothing i ve had the crash to desktop after being 12 hours prime95 stable. keep the cpu at the recommended voltage and you shouldnt have any issues.

^uninstall amd catalyst 12.4
download and install amd catalyst 12.1 (seems to be the most stable driver for 6000 series graphic cards)

^^ uninstall the driver in usual way - after that use driversweeper to clean any undeleted file/registry entry which can't be uninstalled using normal uninstall process and may conflict with new driver installation.
yep, checked event log but there's no error was showing except msvcrt.dll errors.
^^ true but I undervolted the cpu for some energy savings and to keep it cool on summer mainly but I'll try to find the exact reason behind this .. wait for the results.

u can use cpu-z for monitoring cpu voltage, it can also be viewed in bios.(it should be at stock if not tinkered with)
normally "driver stopped responding" is due to an unstable gpu. Try settings your gpu clocks to those of a standard 6850 and see if the crashing stops.
