    Hi,

    Reseating the RAM can help, it is known as "Chip Creep".
    Chip creep refers to the problem of chips that, over time, would work their way out of the socket. Chip creep occurred due to thermal expansion; the contracting and expanding during system heat up and cool down.
    While chip creep is usually most common with older memory modules it was a problem with other main chips that were inserted into sockets.
    To fix chip creep, users of older systems would often have to remove the case cover and push the loose chip back into the socket.

    I would advise to run memtest again with them in reversed slots (just what you wanted to hear eh!)

    Is the computer running better now you have reseated the RAM? Anymore crashes?

    Cheers

    It's only been a few hours, so there's no sure way to tell yet. I'm about to go play a game or two once I've wrapped up some stuff. (creating a forum for a game mod etc etc)
    Again, I tend to give things a week before I call it "fixed".

    I'll run a Memtest right before I go to bed, but I'm only going to let it run the amount of Passes that it does while I am asleep or otherwise occupied. Five or so passes should suffice to call it a result, right?

    I would say at least 8 passes is better :)

    Early night?

    I'll let it run on Wednesday night then, since I only have to work this Thursday. A whole night and a whole day should suffice to reach 8 passes.

    I installed Path of Exile yesterday, and have been playing it yesterday and today. Only about 10 minutes in of playing today, I got thrown a new BSOD with a driver I haven't encountered throwing a BSOD yet. I don't know if this makes it a new incident or related to the earlier ones.

    Regardless, I've uploaded it and it should be below. I really wonder what the blazes is going on.

    EDIT: WhoCrashed blames it on my Wifi driver. I just checked in Device Manager, and it says it's the latest update.

    Hi,

    Your Wifi driver is being blamed, as are the Nividia drivers:

    Code:

    Code:
     
    Driver: NETwNs64.sys  
    Dated: Jan 23 22:44:07 2012
    Refers to: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 5000 Series Adapter Driver for Windows 7
    Try here as there are some 2013 drivers listed:

    http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wtech/proset-ws/sb/CS-034041.htm

    You will need to find your version number first:

    http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wlan/sb/CS-025417.htm

    Also your Nividia drivers are being blamed again, now from post #29 this driver was dated 2013
    and I got you to install the stable driver 306.23, now its dated 2012? Have you updated it?
    It seems likely that your Graphics card is only able to run on the stable driver, as this is
    quite a few times your Nividia drivers have been at fault:

    Code:
    Driver: nvlddmkm.sys
    Refers to: Nividia Video drivers
    Dated: Thu Aug 30 16:50:16 2012
    Reinstall the stable driver:
    http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-306.23-whql-driver.html

    Now as this is a STOP 1000007E, there is a Hotfix available that you can try which fixes issues
    with GPU's under heavy load, it may (or may not) apply to your particular problem:

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/983615

    Now test to see if your issue remains?

    If the Hotfix fails to fix your issue run these tests:

    Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark: Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark
    Video Card - Stress Test with OCCT: Video Card - Stress Test with OCCT

    Monitor temperature of the system during the tests:

    Speccy System Information
    HWMonitor


    And this old driver is "still" somewhere on your system :

    Code:
     
    Driver: WinRing0x64.sys 
    Dated: Sat Jul 26 14:29:37 2008
    Post back any outcome / memtest results

    cheers

    Well first of all, I ran a search for WinRing0x64.sys in the Windows folder (should search subfolders) and it's absolutely nowhere to be found. Is there any alternative way to locate it? Obviously this is some driver-gone-wrong, but now the challenge is to find it!

    I haven't touched the Nvidia update ever since we rolled them back. I am looking at the update window (which lists the current and available update) and I am very much using update 306.23. The thing is, I don't actually think Path of Exile is as heavy a game as, say, Planetside 2 would be.
    To reïnstall, should I go through the whole Driver Fusion and Driver Sweeper process again? Should I run the uninstaller of them first before doing so?

    I'll follow your instructions on the Wireless Drivers and wait for your response on the above.

    EDIT:

    Product Detected Intel® WiFi Link 5300
    Current Driver Installed 14.3.2.1
    Your driver is current.


    Seems they are indeed the latest according to the automatic detector.

    Hmmm...seems very odd indeed that you are unable to locate the WinRing0x64.sys driver!!

    I provided a link for Intel® WiFi Link 5300 2013 drivers in my last post, not the automatic detector.

    The latest version is: 15.6.1 Found here :)

    If you are using the stable driver 306.23 and it is failing, then run those video stress tests as that
    driver never fails as a rule and if it does its usually the card at fault.

    cheers

    Yes, I actually ran the same search on C:\ and it simply did not pop up at all. Quite curious.
    If you need me to run SF Tool again and upload the report, I'll gladly do so.

    And sorry, I must've misunderstood that somehow. I'll update it with the latest, then run both Furmark and OCCT and see what that gives.

    And as a last resort, we can always run Driver Fusion & Sweeper again and see. I doubt I botched something up, but it's not uncommon that I botch something up I was fully certain I had done properly.

    EDIT:
    I ran the update for the latest one that you linked, yet the version number for the driver remains at 14.3.2.1
