I don't know, how do I check it?

Dude, I was playing Scribblenauts Unlimited! I know it's not a heavy or demanding game, but today I got BSOD'ed when I closed it. It's one of the few games I can play without demanding too much of the machine without gfx card.

I've already done that, I installed the latest one. The problems persists. =/

Guys, thanks in advance for the attention. I guess I know what's the reason for my issue, but I'd like to know some other opinions. Here's the matter: Sometimes when I finish playing a game which requires a good processing capacity the system freezes, BSOD's, and restarts. It's kinda twice for...

It seems two things may have been causing the problems: PSU was faulty, so I had it RMA'd and so far systems are OK. It had taken my equipment to my retailer and he promptly authorized the PSU's RMA. He also said the CPU may also cause issues like that, and since mine is 3yrs old+ it could be...

Ok, I'm going to try your instructions. I was thinking about removing the GPU for a while to see if the issues still occur. Sadly I don't have another PSU to test, I bought this one exactly because my old one died. It'll be a lot of tasking, maybe I'll take a while to reply, ok? But I'll keep...

I've listed my specs on the topic opening, but here we go: Processor: Intel Core i3-2100 3.10GHz Mobo: ASUS P8Z77-M PSU: Corsair CX750W 750W Memory: Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz 2x4GB GPU: ZOTAC GeForce GTS 450 HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB When I get the freezing I was just using the Chrome...

UPDATE: Just got bluescreened... Here's the minidump file: https://www.mediafire.com/?9lt990cg6gqjiac

Oh, dammit! I clicked "best solution" by mistake, now I can't go back! =/ Whatever. The sticks are in the mobo's QVL, confirming they're compatible with it. Also the BIOS was updated to the latest version. All the critical errors are Kernel-Power 41 (63). I'll post the Speccy screenshot...

UPDATE: System just froze 5 minutes ago w/ only ONE Corsair stick, the one which passed 9 MemTest passes clean. So it's definitely NOT the RAM (not this stick, at least). My GPU is almost 2 yrs old, could it be a symptom of my GPU "dying"? Gonna run MemTest for the other stick anyways, doesn't...

As I ran MemTest with only one Corsair stick again today (9 passes, no issues), I'm using with only one, so later I can MemTest the other (had some work to do on the PC first), so far no issues. Yes, I plugged them according to the manual, following the dual channel pairing. The freezing doesn't...

Tom, finished Windows Update and Slim Drivers, but I have a feeling things got a bit worse, my system froze just like 10 minutes ago, had to hard reset again. I made a restore point before updating, do I use it? I had run MemTest86+ before with each stick, 4~5 passes each, no errors. As to...

First, thanks for the quick answers! I scanned my system with Avira and Malwarebytes, deleted the issues MBAM brought up, ran CCleaner, rebooted system, all drivers are up to date. So far I didn't have any freezings during gaming, all three times I was only on Windows using the internet. For...

Hey guys, first of all thanks for your attention. I've been experiencing this issue for a while and I don't know what to do anymore. First I had lots of BSODs until I found out one of the memory sticks was defective. I RMA'd it and got new ones back. Now the problem is: Very randomly my system...
