BSOD since installing Battlefield 4/Origin (not always in-game!)
Greetings fellow inhabitants of the sevenforums!
Since installing BF4 and Origin I have been getting frequent BSOD. Initially I didn't get BSOD, only crashes of the game. After a few patches however the BSOD appeared, often it happens the first time I try to start the game and after that I have no issues with the game for some time, and then eventually it may also crash at the end or after playing for a long time. It has also crashed before I've even tried to start the game, but somehow it's always in conjunction with when I'm going to start the game, and the only thing I have just done at that point is joining a skype call. I don't quite know what to make of it.
I'll provide the minidump files shortly, but before that I'll list the things I've tried so far.
1. Reinstalled Origin and BF4.
2. Ruled out an overheating CPU. (It did however actually overheat twice, but it was only those two times and I have since fixed the issue.)
3. Ran a check on my RAM (and they are fine).
4. Updated my graphics drivers
I suspect it may still be a driver issue, as I recently noticed in one of my BSOD that is said something about an error in nvlddmkm.sys. I have also had some directx errors which did not cause BSOD, but it only happed a couple times while I was playing BF4. Something I read somewhere made me think perhaps it could have something to do with the register, but I can't remember and really don't know.
I was just about to try a program called Driver Fusion and see if I could sort it out, but I'm just too uncertain at this point and so I figured I should just make a post here first.
Here is my system information (for more info, check the dxdiag)
I sincerely appreciate any help you can provide.Code:Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.130828-1532) Language: Swedish (Regional Setting: Swedish) System Manufacturer: System manufacturer System Model: System Product Name BIOS: BIOS Date: 05/04/12 09:34:39 Ver: 08.13 Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.4GHz Memory: 8192MB RAM Available OS Memory: 7884MB RAM Page File: 2893MB used, 12874MB available Windows Dir: C:\Windows DirectX Version: DirectX 11 DX Setup Parameters: Not found User DPI Setting: Using System DPI System DPI Setting: 96 DPI (100 percent) DWM DPI Scaling: Disabled DxDiag Version: 6.01.7601.17514 64bit Unicode

Oh, right. Following instructions is a good idea. I've now followed the BSOD Posting Instructions, and added the zip-file to this post.
