New Gaming PC Multiple BSOD and Restarting

[Trentk2000]

Hey everyone, I recently built my first gaming PC, and as of late I have run into some (somewhat alarming) problems. So with that said, I am hoping someone may be able to help me, in regards to this whole situation.
So, recently, I finished building my gaming PC, and after installing Windows 7, along with all of my drivers, I decided to overclock a bit. Initially, my GPU was clocked at 945Mhz, which as is, is higher than most of the stock cards. I overclocked it to about 1.0Ghz, and received no glitches/artifacting. However, shortly after running a few games, I received a BSOD. I restarted my PC, and I unclocked my card to factory settings, and received no more problems.
About a week later, I was just surfing online, when my screen went black, and yet again I got a BSOD. It flashed too fast for me to read it, so I am not sure what is causing it. A few days later, I received another BSOD, and now my PC is restarting for no reason. So I went to Windows Event Viewer, and I found this report that was created after my PC restarted:

Also, if anyone is curious, these are my PC Specs:

-CPU: AMD FX 8350 8-Core Processor @ 4.2GHz (Black Edition)
-Cooler: CM Hyper 212 Evo
-Motherboard: Biostar TA970 ATX AM3+
-Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866
-Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
-GFX: Sapphire Dual-X Radeon R9 270 @ 2gb w/ Boost & OC
-PSU: Corsair CX600 (Non-Modular)

Again, if there is anyone who can help, I'd greatly appreciate it, as my knowledge with stuff like this is fairly limited. In advance, thanks!

(If I am able to get a look at the BSOD report, assuming it happens again, I will post it!)

Hey There!

What voltage is your memory cards set at? If they are at 1.5V...bump them up to 1.65V.

Have you re-installed your graphics card's drivers?

Download Blue Screen Viewer here: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html
It will allow you to view your past blue screens. Write back in a message what the Bug Check String is and also what the Stop Code is as well...it should look like something like this: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/bluescreenview2.gif

I checked my RAM voltage using CPU-Z, and both sticks are set at 1.5V. Also, on a side note, I am running them in dual channel, as my motherboard doesn't support having two 1866 sticks of RAM in the same channel. As for the bluescreen reports, I was able to copy and paste all of the information here:

Recently, I haven't updated any of my drivers, with the exception of when I first got my PC. However, after looking at the BSOD reports, I noticed that some of my installed drivers may be the problem. I will have to look a bit further to find out though.

Hey! Thanks for the links to pictures themselves...couldn't quite make out 100% what it was.

Its definitely your display drivers. So I would try downloading the latest Catalyst Manager, uninstalling the video card drivers, restart the computer and install the new AMD Catalyst.

If by chance you are still getting these blue screens...I would recommend upping your RAM's voltage to 1.65 which would help out with the stability of it.

Thanks for the quick reply. I will be sure to uninstall my graphics drivers, and (if neccessary) up my RAM voltage. If I still get random restarts/BSOD's, I will be sure to update this post. Again, thanks, I really appreciate it.

You're very welcome...if you have anymore questions...don't be afraid to ask.

Alright, I have checked all of my drivers, so they are all up to date. I have increased my RAM voltage as well. However, shortly after doing so, I received a "Memory parity error". Soon after, everytime I'd start up my PC, windows would become unresponsive. Though, I don't think this is related to voltage at all. I had to open up my PC, and reset the CMOS to get it working again, this set my CPU, along with other components to go back to factory state.
On top of all of this, I have lost some date after doing so, though most of it is useless, and includes icons, pics etc... I am now debating whether this is a matter of faulty parts, or just the RAM in general. Because earlier, I said that my MB only supports up to 1600Mhz RAM, whilst I have 1866. This required me to run it in dual channel, however many have had many complaints about problems with their RAM with this particular MB.
If I can't find a solution by the end of this week, I will RMA everything, and I think I will just buy a pre-built PC. Because as of now, I have spent too many hours trying to get this rig up and running, and to spend any more trying to diagnose this problem will be beyond tedious. If you have any more suggestions, let me know.
