New Custom Build, Fresh Win7 install, BSOD issues ntoskrnl/win32k
Hi 7Forums,
I recently bought a new computer from a pc build website. I installed Win7 HP 64bit and started to instantly experience BSODs. After a bit of diagnostics, memtest told me that one of the RAM sticks was horrifically broken, that has since been sent off for replacement and the system has been 'more' stable with only 8gb. However I have still been experiencing BSODs specifically when the computer isn't doing very much of anything.
I have been trying to play BF4 which as you will probably know is littered with awful programming and has constant crashes, generally though (90% of the time) these are 'soft crashes' and I can ctrl alt delete and end the process. Most of the BSODs seem to not actually be related to the game crashing, though may have come about because I have been trying to update my drivers etc etc to stop the constant game crashes?!?
I have done another fresh install since removing one of the 8gb ram sticks, and did the usual driver installs, updates, and microsoft important updates. I then went through and re-installed all my usual programs - vlc/skype/CCcleaner/malwarebytes/adobe air/flash/postgresql/bbflashback video recorder/MSE.
Since my last fresh install on the 17th November I have had 12 BSODs many of which have come about when the computer is either basically idle, or i'm watching a youtube video or just browsing files in explorer rather than whilst playing bf4 or doing more intense stuff.
9x system service exception
1x kmode exception not handled
1x memory management
1x page fault in nonpaged area
All my drivers are as far as I can see up to date, where possible I auto detect.
Hopefully I have done this properly and included all information required in my pc specs pane and from the SFDTool.
Thanks in advance, this has been a very frustrating and confusing few weeks. The computer can work for hours on end absolutely fine, including to play bf4 at high fps on high settings, then suddenly doing nothing it crashes multiple times.

EDIT-
As per the 2nd post in this thread-
ntoskrnl.exe BSOD randomly
1) As far as I know nothing is OC.
2) I only put MSE on there.
3) I haven't run Chkdsk since this fresh install but had run it previously on my other installs...
4) Similarly I had run SFC before and got no errors
Will check 5-10 now and potentially go back and redo steps 3 and 4.
