BSODs with multiple error codes on fresh install
I’m having some BSOD issues. I assembled this PC for a friend based on the Tom’s Hardware 500$ Gaming PC from Q4 2012. The only piece of hardware that was different was the optical drive. System Builder Marathon, Q4 2012: $500 Gaming PC : Squeezing More Bang From The Same Buck

After a few weeks she started getting a lot of BSODs, so I took it back and did a fresh install of Win 7 and updated all the drivers. The machine continues to get a lot of BSODs (with varying error codes) and I've been unable to figure out exactly what I can do to cause them (I got one while writing this post), but they typically happen when it’s idle or at low load. At one point I had enabled driver verifier and could force the system to freeze-up (with video corruption), but couldn't get a BSOD with a minidump.
I've scanned through the forums and have tried many of the troubleshooting methods that are listed, but I am happy to start at square-one to figure out the cause of this. I've enclosed a zip file from the diag tool to get started. I’m sure there is something I overlooked and would appreciate any assistance.
