BSOD error 0x0000000C4 after many attempts to resolve
Hi, I've had consistent problems with blue screen errors on my computer since my video card died sometime back in October or November. The card was under warranty, so I got it RMAd and replaced it. However, upon receiving the replacement and putting it in my setup, there was quite apparently still a problem, as the graphics driver would frequently crash and then recover. It actually began to get progressively worse until it would start to blue screen and shut down instead of recovering. I spoke with EVGA support (where I got the card), and the rep notified me that the initial card they had received from me during the RMA process had been noted as failing due to overheating, and he suggested that the issue could be the power supply rather than the card. My power supply was actually a couple years (at least) older than the video card and older than my build itself, so that theory was at least worth testing. I took the computer to the shop, the guy there hooked it up to a different power supply (one with significantly less watt capacity) and ran a graphics intensive stress test on it. It didn't crash, so we figured it was likely the power supply. That was still under warranty as well, so I got that RMAd.
The replacement power supply arrived and I put in. For all intents and purposes, those couple parts of the computer I had RMAd were like brand new again. I got the system ready to go, booted it up and started using it again, but began experiencing the graphics driver crashes again, all with recoveries this time. I called EVGA support again, and this time, the tech agent I spoke with advised me to adjust the RAM voltage setting in my BIOS to specifically match the suggested specs for my RAM (1.5 rather than "auto"). I did that and hoped for the best. However, I'm still having problems with the graphics driver crashing periodically and I've also had blue screen crashes with the following information here and there (despite having just done a fresh install of my OS here in the hopes that doing so would fix my problem):

I attached the file requested according to the BSOD posting rules to this post. Any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated, I'd really love to resolve this issue once and for all.
