I recently made this rig with the below specs. It seems whenever I play any game I start getting BSODs. So far, I've downloaded bluescreenviewer and now whocrashed, and the results are listed below. The latest crash said that it may be a thermal issue so I've been monitoring my cpu and gpu temps and they've been fine. I've checked my drivers to the below components and all are up to date. The last component added to my computer was my HDD and I thought this was the problem until I checked drivers. I now have my computer case open to listen for any strange noises before my next crash... My next move is to run memtest86 (previous memory tests have been fine) overnight to test ram and if that turns out ok I'll uninstall my antivirus software Avast!. The results of whocrashed test is listed below. Please help guys and thanks for all input!
