The crashes are completely random

I can stop the crashes by lowerwing the graphics all the way to the bottom but raising them just once and my computer starts crashing again but to be honest playing games like Tera and GW2 on the lowest graphics feels like a waste.

Remove:

Code:
Start Menu\Programs\DAEMON Tools Lite

Daemon Tools uses a driver called sptd.sys, which is known to cause BSODs with Windows 7. It is recommend you remove this program, and use Windows own in-built features or MagicISO.

Please check for the latest driver updates for your graphics card on the manufacturer's website:

  1. Download Driver
  2. Start :orb: Type: Device Manager
  3. Expand Display Adapters
  4. Right-Click Driver Name, Uninstall
  5. Reboot
  6. Run Driver Sweeper
  7. Reboot
  8. Install Downloaded Driver
Driver Sweeper will scan for any left over files from the old driver, old driver files can cause conflicts with new driver installations. Create a System Restore point beforehand, in case any problems or issues arise.

Driver Sweeper:
:info: Check for any overheating issues, by posting a screenshot of your idle and load temperatures.

Follow these steps:
Overclocking -

I recommend if you are overclocking any hardware, that you reset these values within the BIOS to their default values in order to increase the stability of your system.

Please run the following tests for your graphics card and RAM:

Run Memtest86+ for least 7-8 passes, and preferrly overnight as it can take a while to fully complete.

Test each RAM stick individually, if an error is found then move the same RAM stick into the next DIMM slot and test again, if errors are found for the same RAM stick in every available slot then you have a faulty RAM module. On the other hand, if no errors are found in the next slot or the other slots for the same RAM module, then you have a faulty DIMM slot.

Test each RAM stick and every motherboard DIMM slot available.

Graphics Card:
:warn:Read all the steps within the hardware test tutorials very carefully, as stress tests is designed run components to their maximum capacity, in order to point out failing or faulty hardware components.

Use the following program to monitor your hardware temperatures during the stress test:
Run some hard-drive diagnostics and follow these steps:
Find your hard-drive manufacturer and run their tests.

Additional Tests:
Post a screenshot of Crystal Disk Info summary:
:info: Make sure you have the latest firmware for SSD, and ensure all the SATA and Power cables are connected to the drive.

Check for any file system errors and bad sectors using Option #2 of:
Use this command with Disk Check:

Code:
chkdsk C: /f /r
Scan for corrupted or missing Windows files with:
Check for any driver compatibility issues with:
If you are using DirectX, then try uninstalling and then reinstalling the DirectX Runtime:

Somehow on a blue moon the crash happens but the screen comes back on like nothing happened except i get a message mentioning Kernel Mode Driver stopped working, can there be any sort of connection between the blue screens and that?

Windows Kernel Drivers are rarely the cause of crashes, it is usually a third-party driver, which has managed to escape from the Windows Error Reporting mechanism, Windows will only produce a crash when it has found any error, not when the a problem has actually occurred, so you may get blames for the Windows Kernel.

What steps have you followed?

I've tried most of the tests you suggested, no errors are showing and the temp on my GPU while i'm playing is around 62-63C while the idle temp is around 37-41C. Can reinstalling windows 7 solve the problem if it's a program that's causing the crash, i know it's sort of a last resort but if it works i'm willing to do it

Could you please post the results of the tests you have completed, for instance OCCT will have produced graphs. Have you updated your graphics driver?

Agree about that 12V graph looks way low but we have seen similar where voltages are mis reported, is their a program from asus allowing bios view from windows ? that would give a better indication of true reading, if not another reporting software that has 12V output reading perhaps

Agree with Pauly it's not unusual for a monitoring program to get the info wrong, have seen this before with OCCT.

You can confirm the voltages with HWiNFO64, click the sensor tab.

I think i'm changing my statement about the crashing at random times, now it's crashing as soon as i log into the game.

Those voltages look a bit better, what test have you/havent you done as suggested earlier
memtest ? how many passes
hdd test ? what how
sfc /scannow ?
daemon tools ?
direct X ?

Have you done any stress testing ?

I am interested in the same questions Pauly posted.

The voltages do look better, Vcore seems a little high, have you Overclocked anything?
What PSU brand/model and size?
