A common cause is a problem with the main System RAM (i.e. DDR3). Either hardware or a timing glitch.

Quick test:
Run the Windows Memory Diagnostic (google for how if needed).

(regardless of errors or not, proceed to following)

Better method:

1. Test memory with MEMTEST: www.memtest.org (full pass)
- may need to change BIOS boot order so DVD (or USB) is first before the Windows boot drive:

Regardless of whether you see ERRORS or not, continue the following:

2. Update the motherboard BIOS (if newer exists)
3. BIOS-> set optimal CPU/Memory profile ("XMP" for Intel usually.)
- BIOS update resets settings so there may be something that needs to be changed.

4. Repeat MEMTEST

*If you get ERRORS on the first test, and don't after the BIOS/Settings change then there's a good chance your problem is fixed.

If NO errors are shown it's probably a different hardware or software issue but I'd still like the changes made as that may fix something. I had BSOD caused by my System RAM and SSD (different times) and in both causes a BIOS update solved the issue.

Hi,
Z87x-UD3H, 4770 I7, 240Gb SSD, 16GB Corsair Vengeance.
I will reset the bios and update now with that @bios suite.

Mem test run on default windows one and 100% pass.
Update further

Updated BIOS. Hopefully doesnt occur again.
