    Best advice that I've seen about this error (from here: https://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-d...tml#post356791 )
    What you're looking for will be in one of the following categories:

    a) BIOS bug
    b) a driver whose activity is causing the target processor to lock up
    c) a hardware defect (temperature, voltage, dust, RFI, outright borkedness...)
    So, check the drivers
    Then check the inside of the case (temperature, voltage, dust, etc).
    Then run some hardware stress tests

    Try this free video stress test: FurMark: VGA Stress Test, Graphics Card and GPU Stability Test, Burn-in Test, OpenGL Benchmark and GPU Temperature | oZone3D.Net
    Try this free stress test: Free Software - GIMPS
    Prime95 Setup:
    - extract the contents of the zip file to a location of your choice
    - double click on the executable file
    - select "Just stress testing"
    - select the "Blend" test. If you've already run MemTest overnight you may want to run the "Small FFTs" test instead.
    - "Number of torture test threads to run" should equal the number of CPU's times 2 (if you're using hyperthreading).
    The easiest way to figure this out is to go to Task Manager...Performance tab - and see the number of boxes under CPU Usage History
    Then run the test for 6 to 24 hours - or until you get errors (whichever comes first).
    The Test selection box and the stress.txt file describes what components that the program stresses.
    Then try replacing parts.
    Then look up the versions of your BIOS to see what changes were done.

    I disabled the "allow windows to turn off this device to save power" and I also disabled hibernating. After a couple of days without issues and uploading music do Google Music (constant usb transfers), It happened again today backing up to crashplan. This sucks.

    I still haven't tried the stress tests, but got another dump file. Could anyone check it out for me?

    I don't get the two red arrows on the BSOD, 2 posts above.
