Multiple BSODs, mostly while gaming
Hey guys, was wondering if you could help me clear something up. I've had my computer for just over a year, and about two months ago my computer started BSODing. The ones I've gotten are:
System_Service_Exception (most frequent)
Driver_IRQL_Less_Or_Not_Equal
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
Interrupt_Exception_Not_Handled (only once)
I think there was also another error, but I'm not exactly certain which one.
Now, about a month ago, I brought the computer to a friend who builds/fixes PCs. He ran hardware tests, deemed that it wasn't a RAM issue and that something in the software was faulty, so he formatted and reinstalled windows. This worked for a couple of days, but the BSODs started happening again. They haven't happened yet when not gaming (Starcraft 2, steam related games, etc) but before I formatted they could happen when watching a stream or even just browsing. The computer will also BSOD without giving any particular error message, and when I do BSOD I usually have to wait 5-10 minutes before turning the computer back on, as it simply won't load up upon automatic restart, and if I try to boot it up after turning the power off too quickly, it'll start beeping constantly and do nothing.
Upon googling common problems, AVG seemed to be a popular culprit for causing them, but I went ahead and uninstalled it and I have still BSOD'd. I also turned off all forms of overclocking (to my knowledge).
My specs are:
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
GPU: XFX Radeon HD 6850
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1100T
RAM: 2 4GB Corsair CMX4GX3M1A1333C9 sticks
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-880GM-D2H
I will run memtests overnight, but for now I was wondering (and hoping) that someone could help me find a solution that isn't just hardware failure. I'm hoping it is just some drivers are outdated and need to be replaced, but I'm not sure how to check everything and if someone can explain to me how to provide dumps for them, I will gladly do so. Thanks!
Edit: Missed the BSOD Posting Instructions thread, will attach my dumps in a minute.
