    Sorry for the ridiculously late reply; I've been on vacation for a few weeks.

    Just before I left, I did a repair install of the OS in the hopes that it would fix the problem. I got back and used it for some gaming, and it's still BSODing. I ran Data Lifeguard from Western Digital for my HDD (I did the extended test that takes like eight hours), and it found no errors at all. I'm running chkdsk now, and stage 4 (verifying file data) is taking forever (I'm now at 7436 of 152560 files processed after about 20 minutes).

    Four more dumps are attached (although they don't appear to have any new information), as well as the screenshots you asked for. My SSD firmware is up-to-date, and Western Digital's site doesn't list any firmware updates for my model (10EARS, Caviar Green).

    Code:
    BugCheck A, {fffff38000000014, 2, 0, fffff80002094a3c}
    
    Probably caused by : ntkrnlmp.exe ( nt!KeWaitForSingleObject+24c )
    This bugcheck indicates that driver attempted to access a invalid memory address at a IRQL level which was too high.

    Code:

    Your Ralink RT2860 series Wireless LAN Card seems to be causing a few problems, and is very outdated, please update the driver from here - MediaTek - Downloads Windows

    Your nVidia graphics card driver also seems to be causing a few problems, ensure you have the latest WHQL version installed:

    Version: 320.18
    Release Date for Desktops and Notebooks : May 23rd 2013
    In Device Manager: 9.18.13.2018

    I updated the graphics driver last night as soon as it came up (I believe it was after the BSODs though), so that's all set. I'm updating the wireless card now. I'll let you know if I get more BSODs.

    Thank you so much, it really means a ton that you would take so much time to help me over the past two months. This probably sounds corny, but thank you so, so much. I am incredibly appreciative!

    Just had another one after updating the wireless card (updated earlier tonight, that is).

    Do you have any ideas? We've been through almost every piece of hardware in this system, and everything is up-to-date (I believe) and... I dunno. It's just frustrating. It's not your fault, of course, you guys have been incredibly awesome and helpful. Is this just something I'll have to deal with, or do a full reinstall of Windows to try to fix?

    Okay, it's blaming your nVidia graphics card drivers again, can you go into the BIOS and check the voltages for the 3.3V, 5V and 12V settings? Ensure that all the cards and hardware is properly connected and check that the PCI/PCIe slots are free of any dust.

    You may want to run this test too:

    Your very welcome :)

    These observations are from an installer's point of view:

    Try turning off the Nvidia software in msconfig>Startup and >Services after hiding all MS Services. You dont' need anything starting up there except AV anyway.

    The first thing that should be done after a reinstall is to Run all rounds of Important and Optional Windows Updates after enabling Automatically get recommended drivers and updates for your hardware (Step 3). You can do that now if it's not yet been done, to see if Win7 wants another display driver. As a last resort I'd even uninstall the Nvidia driver and its software, then run Windows Updates to see what WIn7 wants.

    May I be real simple and without reading from post#1 ask what the temps are?

    Ran the test, returned no issues. Not sure how to check those voltage levels, however. I've attached a screenshot of MSI Control Center; it gives a bunch of voltages. If I run Afterburner, it says my GPU voltage is 0.850 when not in use. It maxes out at 1.050 when I open WoW (ultra settings). Slots are all clean. (If it matters in any way, the PSU connects directly to the GPU). I had to downgrade to the old wifi card driver, as the new one is broken and causes issues with Steam and other programs.

    I've uninstalled and switched to the Windows Update driver before (a hardcore clean install), but I continued to have the problem.

    Temps are all normal, I've done extensive monitoring of them with the Galaxy support team (GPU manufacturer) and no issues were found.

    EDIT: Another dump posted.

    It's still blaming the same two drivers, did the BSODs occur after or before the clean installation of Windows?

    I believe, there is a graphics related issue, there seems to be a quite a few functions being called related to DirectX Kernel, however, there also seems to be a few network related calls, maybe a bad motherboard if the crashes occurred after updating the drivers?

    Code:
    dxgkrnl!DxgNotifyInterruptCB+0x83
    The above function is used by the display miniport driver to report a graphics hardware interrupt, therefore I still think there may be something physically wrong with the graphics card itself, or could be the PSU or motherboard.

    Do you have a spare graphics card or a onboard graphics card you could revert to?

    Run this graphics card stress test - Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark, you may monitor your temperatures with GPU-Z Video card GPU Information Utility

    Post a screenshot from the information provided with this program ~ HWMonitor CPUID - System & hardware benchmark, monitoring, reporting
