Just this past week I've had quiet a few BSoD at random times when playing games and before this week it was fine. I recently installed another 4gb of ram so I removed it but still am getting them. Is my GPU or Mobo failing?
Any help is appreciated, thanks

Try a system restore to a date before past week.

That error usually points to your graphics. Below is a link to the Microsoft community forum and tells you how fix the problem.

I'm still having BSoD after trying multiple fixes.

Things I've tried:

Removed GPU oc
Neither GPU nor CPU are overheating. CPU stays around 50c and GPU around 45c while gaming.
Ran memtest for 3 passes, no errors.
Cleared old drivers and installed newest, then tried again with beta drivers.

Any other suggestions?

Hmm... I was gonna recommend uninstalling and reinstalling drivers... Guess not!

Wait, did you use the Guru3D driver uninstaller?

Things can get left behind and conflict with a new driver installation. At least, that was true in my experience. I uninstalled and reinstalled several times, but didn't solve my BSOD's until I completely uninstalled the driver and installed the new one.

Try the 14.9 WHQL? It may work, as they go through more testing. If you scroll down a bit, you'll see the 14.9 WHQL, but try any of them, I guess. This site is a good resource when it comes to driver issues.

I hope that helped.

Run chkdsk /f to check your HDD. Run sfc/ scannow to check file integrity. If nothing shows up then look at the links below discussing how they fixed the same problem. It is worth the few minutes it takes to see if it helps resolve your issue.
