Freezes and crashes in Windows 7 64bit

Am not running Daemon Tools. SmuroOfNeves - I do not currently have SPD installed. To clarify, you want me to download that SPD program and install or you want it not on my PC in which case I do not need to do anything?

Don't download it unless you have Daemon Tools

Latest BSOD and dump file.

Also, this morning I had "This Driver cannot release to failure!!" error box upon boot to Windows. Google says that has to do with Gigabyte Easy Tune 6 which I have removed. Seems to cause no issues, but I'd like to get rid of the box.

Do not have DAEMON TOOLS so I downloaded and ran that STPD programme. Not sure if it has had any effect.

I think I misread your remarks re SPD and Daemon Tools. Will uninstall SPD tonight.

Gentlemen, do you think I should attempt a firmware update for my BIOS?

http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3423#bios

I am thinking f4, perhaps? I don't want to run a beta like f5a.

Also, should I be running a BIOS update for the motherboard as listed on their site or should I be looking for BIOS update for the BIOS itself which is Award Modular BIOS v6.00PG.

Your HDAudBus.sys, sound driver is the cause, please update to the latest version

KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (1e)
This is a very common bugcheck.  Usually the exception address pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem.  Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Arguments:
Arg1: ffffffffc000001d, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: fffff880051a0cb0, The address that the exception occurred at
Arg3: 0000000000000000, Parameter 0 of the exception
Arg4: fffffa8005780700, Parameter 1 of the exception

Updated the drivers, and so far so good. Will post again if it starts BSODing again. Thanks very much! I appreciate it!
