Hello,
I recently built a new rig, and am experiencing a very annoying Blue Screen. It does not seem to be specific to what I am doing, as it happens at random times regardless of if I am gaming or idle. I will list the computer specs below, followed by the error.
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Processor: Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116501
Motherboard: ASUS Maximus V FORMULA LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Extended ATX Intel Motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131854
(As a note, I had to RMA a previous board because I received it with bent CPU pins. The current board had no pin damage)
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL10S-8GBXL
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231488
Graphics Card: Galaxy 67NPH6DV5ZVX GeForce GTX 670 GC 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814162107
Can try to supply more info on the parts if requested.
Now, the BSOD. It occurs at random times from what I can tell, sometimes crashing mid-game and sometimes when idle. I have been able to play graphics intensive games for many hours without problems, then crash a few minutes later when browsing facebook or twitch.tv.
I have run Memtest86 for 10 hours, no errors. Only 1 stick of RAM in the rig. I also ran Windows Memory Diagnostic no errors.
I have run Prime95 for 6 hours with no problems detected.
I have run FurMark for roughly 20 minutes, until the heat plateaued at 80c (the program download specified that if it plateaus, it can be stopped). I did not experience any problems at that time.
I attempted updating drivers as well as downgrading drivers. Do not know if that is possible for the processor, but did it multiple times for the graphics, as well as reinstalled the mobo drivers. Made no difference. Also updated BIOS (starting at version 700). I am now running the 1600 version.
Lastly, I completely reformatted my computer, wiping the hard drive and reinstalling windows. I did this because when I ran startup repair (as was mentioned as a solution in a similar thread) it told me the issue could not be repaired. After the wipe, I installed mobo drivers, followed by gcard drivers, and lastly with the drivers for my webcam and xbox360 controller.
Here are two blue screens I received just before and during writing this post (time frame of about 30 minutes):

If you need any more information, I will do my very best to provide it in a timely manner. Remember, no specific program seems to be causing them. I am sorry if I gave way too much information, or even left some out. This is all I can think of off the top of my head that would be required.
Thank you in advance for the help. I will get back to this post ASAP (though it might take a few hours).
