Newly-built PC getting blue screen of death

[pufut]

Hello,

I built my PC just a few days ago, everything went absolutely perfectly and I've had a great few days of gaming on it. However, today I was in the middle of playing something when it shut down and I saw the blue screen telling me 'A problem has been detected and Windows 7 has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer'.

This is the first time I've experienced this with any computer.

Here is the information it gave me upon restarting:

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.768.3
Locale ID: 2057

Additional information about the problem:
BCCode: 3b
BCP1: 00000000C0000005
BCP2: FFFFF960000D6923
BCP3: FFFFF88008496030
BCP4: 0000000000000000
OS Version: 6_1_7600
Service Pack: 0_0
Product: 768_1

Files that help describe the problem:
C:\Windows\Minidump\061815-14882-01.dmp
C:\Users\x\AppData\Local\Temp\WER-25006-0.sysdata.xml

If anyone could throw me in the right direction on fixing this that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

First BSOD? Lucky you. Has it done it again?

Not yet, no. Is it something I can just forget about? (Unless it happens again of course)
Why did it even happen?

Well, you'd have to take a look at the list dump file for more detailed information.

If it starts happening more often, it could be a sign of failing hardware.

Any type of hardware in particular? Mobo, CPU, HDD?

Overclocking anything?

Nope! I'm finding it hard to think of anything that would have caused it. I checked all temperatures, ran memory diagnostics, scanned for malware, booted in safe mode and messed around - no problems.

Double check that all your mobo and gpu drivers are updated and that you have no loose connections as well

So it just happened again, while playing the same game. Perhaps this is the cause of the issue?
I checked all drivers, and it quickly tells me they're all up to date (it seemed like it wasn't actually checking it was that fast)
I just did a diagnostic on my hard drive and that's fine, no problems with that.
What must the issue be then?

Here is the screenshot of the contents of the first crash dump: http://s7.postimg.org/rdz16hcwr/Untitled.jpg
System service exception?

Have you tested any other games or something else that loads up your system?

Taking a flyer here but trying running with only a single RAM stick.

No others, no.

I just googled that error and someone else who had it updated their windows and all seem to have worked fine after.

I just looked at the updates thing and there are 9 important updates needed, including 'Windows 7 Service Pack 1 for 64-bit Systems' so I am going to do these and see if BSoD occurs again.

 

[utgotye]

OK, let us know if that fixes things.

Check event viewer in administration tools, you can see what caused the problem and if possible try to fix / correct it...

 

[pufut]

No issues so far. Seems to have resolved the problem as far as I can tell (crossing my fingers)
I will play the same game for another few hours and if anything happens I will let you know.

 

[utgotye]

Sounds good, hope you fixed it.
