BSOD playing Crysis 3 dxgmms1+0x1B61

Hi Everyone,

I've recently been receiving BSODs when playing Crysis 3 for more than 30 minutes. Either this happens or the game automatically exits itself with no error prompt.

I've also occasionally run into the same BSOD issue after playing Metro Last Light and a heavily modded Skyrim (ENB + Extremely High-Res textures + Shader mods).

The BSODs have only recently popped up after I bought a second Video Card and another two sticks up ram to have an sli setup (2x Gigabyte Windforce GTX670) and an increase from 8GB to 16GB of ram.

I've run Memtest86+ three time already for over 4 hours each time with 0 errors. I've also tried running FurMark, 3DMark FireStrike Extreme, and Metro LL Benchmarks for multiple runs for each video card separately, but I get no reported errors, crashes, or BSODs in non-SLI mode. I'm royally confused as to how to isolate the issue.

My power supply is a PC Power & Cooling Silencer MkII 750W power supply (80 Plus Silver rated). My motherboard is an Asrock Z77 Extreme 4. I also run a Vertex 4 256GB SSD.

Any help on isolating the problem would be great. I'm personally wondering if it's a VRAM issue. I've noticed that each of these three games have high VRAM usage in the highest settings (especially a heavily Modded Skyrim).

As an update here are two of the latest crash logs I've received. The details should have been included in the Zip in the first post.
