Dxgmms1.sys bluescreen and more...

Hi, I've had my computer for a year now with no problems until now. Recently, within the past month I had started getting strange bluescreens. They were not very common, but now it is just getting out of hand. I mostly encounter the dxgmms1 bluescreen when playing games (minecraft, battlefield), but things like NEITO.sys at other times. The bluescreens I have gotten are: dxgmms1.sys, NETO.sys, ndis.sys, and ntoskrnl.sys.

System info
-64 bit
-full version
-year old hardware
-year old os

Thanks

Please remove any CD virtualization programs such as Daemon Tools and Alcohol 120%. They use a driver, found in your dmp, sptd.sys, that is notorious for causing BSODs. Use this SPTD uninstaller when you're done: DuplexSecure - Downloads
You can use MagicDisc as an alternative.

Remove TunUP Utilities since it could have messed up your system

SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000007e)
This is a very common bugcheck.  Usually the exception address pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem.  Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003.  This means a hard
coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
/NODEBUG.  This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
system is booted /DEBUG.  This will let us see why this breakpoint is
happening.
Arguments:
Arg1: ffffffffc0000005, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: fffff880055bbfe8, The address that the exception occurred at
Arg3: fffff88007eb4698, Exception Record Address
Arg4: fffff88007eb3ef0, Context Record Address

Thank you for the reply.
I removed my ISO mounting program, and I will install the one recommended. I have already ran memtest and got no errors. I also removed TuneUp, but I don't know what EVGA precision is? I will also be running system file checker overnight. By the way--no bluescreens so far.

I just got another dxgmms1.sys. Help is appreciated. My minidump is attached. Thanks.

Help is still needed please.

Do you use RivaTuner/MSI Afterburner? They have known issues with Windows 7
Remove such software

I removed RivaTuner and MSI and now I am waiting to see if I get a bluescreen.

I just got another bluescreen dxgmms1.sys while playing Bad Company 2. This is happening pretty often. I also ran SFC and Memtest and they both seemed fine. Thanks.

I recently got a SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION bluescreen that said ntoskrnl.exe was causing it. This is really a problem now, and I would really like some help. I also tried driver verifier, but it didn't seem to work right.
