Oh dear. Many, many crashes with most during start-up. Absolutely no idea what else is possible!

Your crash dumps are not showing any finite probable cause. In such a situation, it is better to enable Driver Verifier to monitor the drivers.

Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable

Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.

Let us know the results, with the subsequent crash dumps, if any.

More BSODs since enabling. Happening every five minutes or so, now, and every time I start up.

Some files duplicated (2) will be most recent. SF_13-11-2012 (2).zip

Disable Verifier.

SPECIAL_POOL_DETECTED_MEMORY_CORRUPTION (c1)
Special pool has detected memory corruption.  Typically the current thread's
stack backtrace will reveal the guilty party.
Arguments:
Arg1: fffff980160faee0, address trying to free
Arg2: fffff980160fa087, address where one bit is corrupted
Arg3: 0000000000650118, (reserved)
Arg4: 0000000000000032, caller is freeing an address where nearby bytes within the same page have a single bit error

► Test your RAM modules for possible errors.
How to Test and Diagnose RAM Issues with Memtest86+
Run memtest for at least 8 passes, preferably overnight, per RAM module per slot.

► Stress test the Graphics Card using Furmark.

Let us know the results.

Memtest won't load from any of my USB keys, not sure why. Even if I disable hard disk and just have removable for boot it just says 'Boot Error'.

I've had FurMark running for about ten minutes. Max 74'C, min 54'C, GPU load 99%, FPS max 7, average 4. Mem load 41%.

Should I try running memtest on a CD if I can get my hands on it?

Try it.

Hopefully it will provide a result.

CliveK · 13 Nov 2012

I managed to get a CD and it all started fine. It's been a good hour or so and the monitor is unresponsive yet the red process light and fans are still running in the tower. Should I restart the test or is this normal?

Arc · 13 Nov 2012

If you cannot see the results on the screen, it is not normal.

IMO you should try it again. Follow the directions carefully .... How to Test and Diagnose RAM Issues with Memtest86+. (Part 2)

Many thanks. I've followed the instructions religiously but, at 17% Pass and no errors, it reads "Unexpected Interrupt - Halting".

That might explain why the monitor timed out last time.
