2 (possibly related) BSODs, usually when playing video games.

Try Driver Sweeper (link in my sig) and use it to remove all graphics drivers, AMD or nVIDIA. Reboot and cancel if you see "Installing device drivers" Then install the correct driver for your card.

I ran memtest for 8 passes and it came up clean, and I have followed the above instructions. I will let you know how it goes

I have run GIMPS for 4 threads overnight and all of them experienced fatal errors and hardware failures after a minimum of 2 hours and a maximum of 12. does this indicate a bad CPU?

Britton30 · 05 May 2013

Maybe not, if you're overclocking anything stop it and reset BIOS to default values and test.

cosmicllama · 08 May 2013

I still experienced crashes after resetting BIOS. I have attached more crash logs, these may help.

Update Etron drivers.
No code has to be inserted here. As those are old ...

Code:

The TP-LINK 450Mbps Wireless N Adapter driver is failing here.

Search in Download - Welcome to TP-LINK if there is any possible driver update.

Uninstall these following bloatware

Code:

Start Menu\Programs\ASRock Utility
Start Menu\Programs\ASRock Utility\SmartConnect
Start Menu\Programs\ASRock Utility\XFast RAM

Now let us know the situation. As the display driver is the latest, not altering it right now. But in case we need to think over the display driver, too; depending on the results.

cosmicllama · 08 May 2013

OK, drivers updated and bloatware uninstalled. starting testing

Arc · 08 May 2013

It may/might BSOD again, as I am guessing. Then we have to search for the reasons behind the graphics failure.

Still, best of luck :)

cosmicllama · 10 May 2013

Bad news, I experienced another crash. the only suggested things I haven't tried are underclocking and testing the PSU, neither of which i know how to do. have attached the most recent dump files.

As you are getting BSODs, you should stop overclocking and run all the hardware components like CPU, GPU and RAM to their default settings. Also set the BIOS to default, too.
How To Clear CMOS (Reset BIOS)

Stress test the Graphics Card using Furmark.
Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark

Is the computer hot? Report us the heat of the computer after a couple of hours of your normal usage. Upload a screenshot of the summery tab of Speccy.

Check if the Power Supply Unit (PSU) supplying adequate power to the computer or not.
eXtreme Power Supply Calculator
At least 30% extra is safe.

BTW, how old the GPU is?
