Can't figure out my ARMA II BSOD problem

[wazup970]

I have an $1800 gaming PC and sometimes it just randomly BSOD's all day on certain days and then is fine the next. I am not too concerned with this at the moment but I just thought it would be worth mentioning. Last time this happened, it turned out my RAM sticks were garbage and I needed new ones.

Anyway, my main problem is that my "Gaming PC" seems to crash a lot during certain games when I play them on the settings that the game itself recommends for me (which ranges from High - Ultra). In the past this has happened with games such as Blacklight Retribution, Gotham City Imposters, and Metro 2033, but I never concerned myself too much with them since I don't like them that much anyway.

However, I recently started getting into DayZ, the ARMA II mod. When I first installed ARMA II and ARMA II: Operation Arrowhead, they worked fine. Now, my computer BSODs before I can even get into the video options within the game. I have given up trying to figure this all out myself, so I would appreciate the help.

Here is my most recent minidump file from ARMA II crash

EDIT: Also worth mentioning, there is always a click noise that comes from my computer before the BSOD.
I suspect that it is either a Video Card or HDD issue. Maybe Power Supply, I don't have enough experience with this stuff to tell.

this is 1 of the nasty 1s. normaly its caused by a hardware fault although sometimes a driver can cause it.
so first off uninstall all your drivers and replace them with new 1s. start with the motherboard then gfx and sound.
then run chkdsk to see if your hdd has any write errors maybe run hdtune to see if theres any other hdd related errors.
then its on to memory and stress testing the cpu with prime 95.
if your stiull getting errors after doing all this then its time to dismantle your pc and test the components in another system 1 at a time.
sorry mate there is no simple fix for this unless its a driver issue, but like i say thats rare for this error.

as you have an ssd and this is typically a hdd fault you may want to test that first... with propper testing tools not just chkdsk.
