BSODs While Gaming (Different Driver Errors each time) [ntoskrnl.exe]
Hi, this is my first time asking for help, reading through most of the similar posts on this issue led me nowhere, so I am hoping someone with more expertise can have a look and see what's wrong. I'll try and be as detailed as possible, so apologies in advance if this is too much info.
I have attached the Dmp files as well as the system health report to this post, although I think some of the crashes on that Dmp list are from a while back, hopefully you can refer only to the ones that have happened off late.
The issue:
It seems to be that everytime I run a game, within the first 20 odd minutes of running it (Either full screen or windowed mode), I get a BSOD and crash. Many of the crashes have not been picked up by the dump file, however from memory, amongst the usual drivers suggested are ntoskrnl.exe, hal.dll. Most of the time the BSOD locks up the PC before the crash file can be logged, and I have to force a restart myself. The BSOD's don't have any particular pattern, as in, they occur sometimes for a bunch of hours, making any sort of gaming impossible, but then can run fine for up to 4-5 days, before coming back once again with a vengeance for a few hours.
I can be browsing, watching videos/music for hours and never have an issue, but within a few minutes of loading a game (less than 20 most of the time), I'll get the bluescreen. I've tested on multiple games (Warhammer/WoW/Skyrim)
Troubleshooting steps I have taken:
1: Got a fresh HDD, fresh install of Windows 7 on it. Had the first crash about 40 minutes after installing the game on the new HDD.
2: Memtest, came clean. Replaced RAM for testing anyways, didn't help.
3: Stress tested my GPU using Furmark. Ran perfectly for 30 minutes or so with no issues before I ended the test. Nothing abnormal during those tests.
4: Ran Driver Verifier. This produced interesting results. I turned Verifier on for EVERY driver (including Microsoft ones), restarted the computer, and it would chain crash right at the Windows 7 loading screen (About 2 seconds after the BIOS screen was gone). I'd get a hint of a blue screen but the PC would restart instantly for me to have a look at the error, and I don't think these crashes were logged in the dump file. I had to force into Safe mode, turn off verifier, and restart to get back on.
5: I have updated my video drivers to the latest version, although this didn't seem to help either.
Computer Specs:
AMD 965 x4 3.40Ghz
8GB Ram
Windows 7 OEM Home Premium
HD5750 1gb GPU
Any advice on what I should do? I kind of have a feeling it has to be corrupted drivers, maybe something to do with my Mouse/Keyboard (Razer Lachesis/ Logitech G110) but I'm not sure. Maybe after going through those logs you can figure out something a novice like me cannot.
Thankyou once again for any help you might be able to provide,
