Whew! Thats better! Or you have lightning RAM...............you mentioned previous CPU issues, so I wonder if its worth checking that quickly again?

Ran stable throughout only reaching a max temp of 52. Which is odd considering these symptoms are the same I had with the other malfunctioning CPU. Maybe it's a video card problem considering the crashes mostly happen during gaming or shortly after.
There are indeed a number of crashes related to your video card, one way or another. Your ATI driver looks like it's from Apr 5, 2012, so you'll wanna update it. In addition, a BIOS update and chipset driver updates for your motherboard should be in order. Remove all software that came with your motherboard as well, since these things are known for causing the issues you're mentioning. Only leave (and update) drivers that came with, no utilities, 'enhancement' software or anything like that.
I'm also kinda puzzled by the two oddball unloaded modules Magus mentioned. They look strangely like they have some sort of pattern to them, but otherwise their names are unusual and garbled. I know malware looooves to use scrambled module names, so that can be a cause in addition to potential memory corruption.
I've also found what looks to be a c0000102 error in one of your latest crashes, which if correct, is talking about a corrupt file on disk. Run CHKDSK /R followed by SFC /SCANNOW (preferably SFC ran from Windows DVD, not from disk) just to confirm we aren't dealing with disk issues.
Overall, we're kinda shooting in the dark right now. My suspicions kinda weigh in favor of the graphics card problem, but anything can go with this kind of unreliable data (minidumps aren't the best resource of data).
I updated all my drivers and chipsets and ran the chdsk as well as SFC. As far as the concern of Malware that was my first thought too so i ran a Malware Bytes scan and it came back clean. I also use MSE as recommend by the site. No crash as of yet. I'll continue normal use and see if the problem crops up again.
No crashes since October 9th then today I received this one while watching a video. Normal gaming use was used in between crashes nothing new downloaded and Malwarebytes and MSE are fully updated.
If I'm reading this correctly, it seems like there's a problem when DirectX attempted to do a DMA (direct memory access) to your GPU's memory cache. The graphics drivers themselves are from July, so I'm wondering if they need updating. Otherwise, this may smell of a problem with your graphics card. This coincides with the fact it happens during gaming. However the running process at the time that caused this crash was Google chrome. Were you running a game inbrowser?
No I was watching a stream on chrome at the time. I'll try updating again thanks for the reply
Also the fact it went so long without a crash would that indicate that its a driver problem instead of a hardware on the gpu?
Urp, ok, I misread your previous post. You're saying gaming is ok, but that one streaming in chrome was what bugged it out?
Yeah, it's been fine for the past couple weeks until this one. I'll keep gaming and see if that causes any crashes but as of now the chrome crash was the only one. I think you might be right about it being a graphics problem considering it was watching a video game stream.
