Try to Roll back the driver to the earlier one that worked good for you.

Are you overclocking anything? How'bout trying to underclock the GPU?

Not only was your latest .dmps pointing to your GPU, but also ptgc.sys which is:

• Product: C-Media USB Audio Driver (WDM)
• Company: C-Media Electronics Inc
• Description: C-Media Audio WDM Driver
• See update info: Driver Reference Table - PLTGC.sys

FYI: I have to go out for a while, will be back later.

Razer imperator mouse, Logitech G110 keyboard and Plantronics Gamecon headphones. Sometimes something called the Axe Fx II (basically a sound card device among other things).

Hmm, no I'm not overclocking anything at all... And I don't have any C-Media software installed... I am not sure how that audio driver is there, or even what driver to update/get rid of for it

You may not think so.
One way is to copy/paste this: fltrPLTGC.dll or any variation of that including PTGC.sys into Search programs and files at the bottom, after you click on the Start Orb.

PLTGC is in the drivers for your headphones, take a look here: Support Knowledge Base | Plantronics, its the first and third listed under GameCon 780 Drivers, now I don't know if you have the 780, so, look for a newer driver version for your model number of Plantronics phones.

Also look here for the newest driver version of your sound card: Fractal Audio Systems Support

You may still have an issue with your video card, but sound is also a crucial element to playing games.

Do not despair I know troubleshooting can take a lot out of a person, but we need you to remain strong, and alert.

Update the BIOS.

Code:

BiosVendor = Award Software International, Inc.
BiosVersion = F3
BiosReleaseDate = 05/13/2010

There is enough hint of a rootkit .... or it may be old chipset driver, malfunctioning.

What were there in the USB ports during the crash?
