BSOD at random times, other times just lock up
I have been getting BSOD's for the last week or so. I can't read the entire screen in time when it happens but I do catch something about a hardware issue. This has happened several times while playing video games, but others when surfing the web, or just doing some typing. I've checked all of the components and they seem to be functional to the best of my knowledge.
I was getting random lock ups as well, where the entire system would freeze up, I would lose control of everything. This happened a few times when watching movies or games, and the sound would continue on as if there was nothing wrong while everything else froze and would not respond. I reinstalled windows and none of these lock ups have happened since, and I went 2 days without the BSOD but it has come back today.
The computer is as follows with a Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS
Intel 980 Extreme 6 core CPU
12 GB DDR3 Ram
2 64GB Kingston SSD
1 2 TB SATA Drive
Nividia 430 GPU
I've attached the mindump file and the system report file as per the instructions and would appreciate any help on this matter. While I am by no means a computer guru or expert, I've tested everything I could and found no viruses or lack of important drivers that could cause this. I also stress tested my GPU and CPU to make sure they were not overheating, though I didnt think they were. Under full load the GPU peaked at 81C with an average running temp of 40C and the GPU was 74C at peak and 37C at standard operation level.
Thank you in advance for reading and helping.
