Weekly random BSOD. Probably Memory, log included I've been having weekly BSODs for the past month (built PC 2-3 months ago).
They seem to be happening randomly, sometimes before Windows starts, sometimes When I'm browsing web.
Last time it happened was when I plugged in my iPod. I'm really unsure as to what the problem could be. I ran memtest clean, but only for 1 sweep. I would really appreciate any help I could get at the moment. I triedsearching online, but there's nothing that specifically applies to me.
The log attached has 4 crash dumps... I tried looking them up to no avail :/
I would really appreciate any help I could get. If u need anything else, just ask
Thanks in advance | My System Specs |

Hey,
Thanks for replying. I've done most of what you suggested, but I could not get Seatools to recognize my drives because I'm in AHCI mode, and not IDE (SSD drive).
While I was doing the other solutions though, my computer crashed 2 times, pretty randomly... One at startup once while browsing. Still no idea what might be causing this...
I have also removed everything from startup except my Antivirus (Security Essentials) | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Home premium 64 Bit CPU i5-3550 Motherboard Gigabyte D3H-H77 Memory 4gb x2 Crucial Ballistix Sport Graphics Card GT 320 Monitor(s) Displays LG Flatron W2453V Hard Drives 128 GB SSD: Vertex 4 (System drive)

This time it is the display driver failure. Code: fffff880`032ea288 fffff880`0f5fd7d3*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for nvlddmkm.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for nvlddmkm.sys
nvlddmkm+0x13b7d3 There are some updates released two or three days ago, opt for it.
And, Stress test the Graphics Card, too. Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark
As you are using a SSD, you need to try to update the firmware.
Uninstall Gigabyte Force.

Updated SSD firmware (Vertex 4 V.15)
Tested card, seems fine. Updated nVidia drivers.
Had crash at startup again today.
Uninstalled Force driver now. May I ask why I needed to uninstall it?
Should I update my BIOS? It's at Version F5, and the newest seems to be F11.
I have attached the log as usual. But it's all the same except the most recent crash. (Should be anyway).
Thank you for helping me | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Home premium 64 Bit CPU i5-3550 Motherboard Gigabyte D3H-H77 Memory 4gb x2 Crucial Ballistix Sport Graphics Card GT 320 Monitor(s) Displays LG Flatron W2453V Hard Drives 128 GB SSD: Vertex 4 (System drive)

Well, now let us go for Driver verifier. 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.
Anyway, your BIOS is not any old at all, so it should not be a problem. Code: Machine ID Information [From Smbios 2.7, DMIVersion 39, Size=3068]
BiosMajorRelease = 4
BiosMinorRelease = 6
