BSOD while playing most video games, error 0x0000000A

Welcome to SF :) .

This does sound like a hardware fault, but there things we can do to test things out.

I would start by monitoring the temperatures.

• Download Speccy and upload a Screenshot of the summary tab.

What is the make an model of you PSU?

It appears you have a mixture of RAM modules.
A mixture is always bad news and almost never ends well.

Take the trial and error approach an start with one stick and stress the machine using
Prime95 Large FFT's.
If it does bug check try a different one in the same slot and stress again, if it doesn't
add another stick of the SAME capacity, speed and timing and stress again that way you'll be able
pinpoint the offender.
Keep in mind it could also be a slot failing (or even a faulty CPU), the quote below details
using memtest but the principle is the same for Prime95.

First run it with all the existing/installed RAM modules. If it comes with no error, all is good.

But if it starts showing errors, Stop testing. Errors/red lines means one or more RAM is faulty. But the fault may occur due to a faulty DIMM slot, too, which is a motherboard component. Using memtest86+, you can discriminate between a faulty RAM and a faulty motherboard.

How? Say you have two RAM sticks and two DIMM slots. You obtained errors at the test with all RAM sticks installed. Now, remove all the sticks but one. Test it in all the available slots, one by one. Continue the same procedure for all the available sticks.
How to make the inference that is it a RAM issue or it is a motherboard issue? Suppose you have got the result like that:
No code has to be inserted here. It is a RAM, a bad RAM.

But if you have got a result like that:
No code has to be inserted here. It is a motherboard issue. The particular slot is bad.

Your BIOS is very old.

Code:

BiosVersion = F1
BiosReleaseDate = 04/10/2009

Reset the BIOS back to default and Update the BIOS to the latest.

• CLR CMOS

   Note

Write down the current value of the SATA Mode!
Its either AHCI or IDE.
After resetting the CMOS go back and verify the value for SATA Mode is what it was
when the OS was installed.

   Note

If any component is overclocked reset it back to stock speeds!

   Warning

Flashing the BIOS is a risky procedure. If you are uncomfortable
performing it yourself have a technician perform it for you.
Regardless, flashing is at your own risk.

• Gigabyte Support

Regardless you have a driver that shouldn't exist on any Windows 7 machine.

Download SPTD standalone installer from Disk-Tools.com, and execute the downloaded file as guided below :

• Double click to open it.
• Click this button only:
• 
• If it is grayed out, as in the picture, there is no more SPTD in your system, and you just close the window.

Post back with the results :).

I went to the calculator but this is my PSU Rosewill BRONZE series RBR850-M 850W ATX12V v2.3/ EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply - Newegg.com

Not sure if the link works but I have more than enough power for everything. I haven't tried the other methods yet but just wanted to get this posted before I try them.

Also about the RAM I have Kingston 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model KVR1333D3N9K2/8G - Newegg.com
That I bought a fews years back.
and my original RAM Kingston ValueRAM 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model KVR1333D3K2/4GR - Newegg.com
I made sure to buy the same kind of RAM but I wanted more of it. In response to your post of a mixture of RAM modules, should I just get rid of my two sticks of 2GB of RAM and only use the other two sticks of 4GB?

I haven't had a problem with my set up since I bought most of my parts 4 years ago, only started acting up back in July of this year.

I also did the test for the driver and the uninstall box was grayed out like the picture showed. So as of this moment I haven't tried to do the RAM test or updating my bios. If there is a reason I should get rid of my small RAM sticks I will do the RAM test with the bigger ones. One question about that as my RAM is Dual-Channel will it still work by placing only one stick in at a time? I know a little about computers but not enough to feel comfortable in doing these last two tests without clearing up my questions. Also I will update my computer specs in the profile while waiting for a response and thank you for your time.

*EDIT* Just finished updating my computer specs in the profile to the best of my ability. I also updated my bios but haven't tried playing anything yet. Just waiting on the reply about the RAM before I try doing that test.

*EDIT 2* Well decided to run a prime95 test with all the RAM still in after updating the BIOS. I ran a blend test for about an hour and a half and didn't get a single error, which is good considering it took a minute or two to get a BSOD when I tested before updating the BIOS. I have been running a large FTT test for the past 15 minutes and still no errors. I will play some games there were giving me blue screens throughout the week and if I don't get any I will consider this issue solved.

That is good news :) .
I can see that Daemon Tools is still active (Speccy's Optical Drives: DTSOFT), it can issues in the future but for now let it be. update in due time which ever way things turn out to be :) .
