All this started a month ago and now im getting BSOD regularly.
I have linked the minidump file :-
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2Qy5gKMO74MVmE0eTg1b2tJbWM/view?usp=sharing
I have checked all the drivers for update using driver booster.
I have checked the memory using memtest86 by performing a 4 pass test.
I'll also add that earlier i used to get bsod when i used utorrent and kaspersky antivirus together, so i used to turn off kaspersky when i used utorrent. But now i am getting bsod even without using Kaspersky.
Bluescreenview.exe is showing ntoskrnl.exe+681c0a as the program causing the BSOD

Yea well it could be a number of things. Malware IS NOT "highly unlikely" btw. Torrenting without security is a great way to infect yourself. And just because it didn't show signs for a while means nothing. Malware is designed to be inconspicuous, after all. It could be bad RAM. It could be you're overclocking and the system is unstable. It could be a dying hard drive. It could be a failing power supply.

But since you're:

1) Connecting to everyone else's computer (torrenting) without internet security FYI:Malware can infect ntoskrnl

AND

2) Trusting some third party program (Driver Booster) instead of getting drivers via Windows Update and your hardware manufacturers,

I'm betting it's either malware or a driver issue...
Its highly unlikely because it used happen months ago. Since then i haven't got bsod until recently.
Also i don't think that a Malware would trigger this bsod as the cause is failure of ntoskrnl.exe

I'm betting it's either malware or a driver issue although there's no way to be sure until you perform some troubleshooting or use Windbg to analyze the dump file. But what would I know.
