Numerous BSODs with different error codes

Hi everyone, thought i might post here and try to get some advice. This problem is making me want to tear my hair out in frustration. Forgive me if i leave out any information.

I upgraded some components of my computer recently. Namely - i7 4770, 840 Evo SSD, Z87-D3HP, FSP 750W PSU. I installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit cleanly from a new CD.

Everything was going fine for a few days before i started getting various kinds of errors. Some were BSODs with various kinds of errors (like dxgmms1.sys) and sometimes my computer would just freeze. Games like Final Fantasy XIV and programs like iTunes/Teamspeak would quit unexpectedly, with Windows telling me they stopped working. This happens every hour or so and is getting more frequent.

I have updated all my nvidia drivers and Creative drivers for my USB sound card. Am pretty sure it's not a RAM issue as well. Hoping i can get some help on figuring out what this is so that i can fix it. Feel free to let me know what kind of information would be helpful and how i can upload it online.

Examples of an error in Event Viewer:

The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly. Kernel Power Event ID 41 Critical

Hi Arc, thanks for the reply, really appreciate your input.

SSD is on latest firmware.
Startup has been cleaned up.

I will conduct the various tests over the next few days and let you guys know the result. In one night, i've had 2 more BSODs. I am seriously considering reformatting and doing a clean install of Windows.

Do you think this could be a hardware fault though? Judging by how the errors are so diverse. I was thinking that it might be a motherboard fault.

Seeing the crash dumps and the versatility there, I also thought in the same line, but there are some limitations of remote assistance. As the motherboard cannot be tested, we cannot blame the motherboard at its own.

First we need to take the proper steps for the failing drivers. If it behave the same despite of all those, we can concentrate on the hardware slowly. You may notice that you are already suggested to test two hardware components :)

Hi Arc,

I've done all of the above excluding the Memtest and video card test (can't find the time to leave the computer running for hours straight). In addition, i have re-seated all the RAMs and PSU plugs into DVDRW/HDD/SSD/motherboard. For 2 days i have not seen a BSOD (YET) and i have absolutely no idea what was wrong.

MABM came back with nothing significant as well.

I have a second 560GTX Ti as well as a Creative Soundblaster XFi USB Soundcard that i have removed from the system after all the BSODs and i still haven't worked up the courage to plug that back in. Should i still continue to monitor the situation and then find time for the RAM/VGA stress test?

So if it working good after a dismantle, let it run.

If it goes problematic again, start troubleshooting again :)

Ok i think i jinxed it. I stepped out of the room and when i came back, the computer was in the midst of restarting into Windows. As i was writing a post, the entire computer hung - Chrome stopped responding, then Windows, then the mouse stopped too.

These are the entries i pulled from Event Viewer:

Warning

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000000a (0xfffffc8003169610, 0x0000000000000002, 0x0000000000000001, 0xfffff8000386fcfe). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 101613-7332-01.

And another one:

Error
The description for Event ID 14 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

What's the best way to extract information for you guys to have a look?

Ok i ran Memtest for close to 24 hours on my 4x4GB sticks and i have 4 errors (from what i think i see). I have uploaded a picture of the test screen. Any idea which sticks they might be that are causing trouble? So that i know which to remove to continue testing with Memtest.
