BSODs with various bug check codes after upgrading hardware

Hi! I recently upgraded my CPU and Motherboard to an Intel i5 4670k and Gigabyte GA-Z87-HD3, respectively.
This was around the 27th December, so BSODs prior to this were a problem which I have since resolved. The blue screens occur at no specific time, and seem to have a different bug check code every time they occur (although some are repeated, just not consecutively).

I have tried to resolve the issue by changing some settings in the BIOS (I can't recall which ones exactly), but with no avail. The only other piece of hardware added/changed since this started to occur is a headset (Creative Tactic3d Rage), although the blue screens occurred before this was added.

I have also tried removing any old AMD drivers (the motherboard/CPU I upgraded from were both AMD, rather than Intel) in case of conflicting drivers, but still with no change.

When the issues initially started to occur, I tried to apply a hotfix from Microsoft, but this made no difference.

The SF diagnostic tool output is attached; any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Did you not do a clean install when you got the new motherboard? Did you simply plug in your HDD into the new motherboard and boot?

No, I had done a clean install about 5 months before. I have one HDD and one SSD, 1TB and 120GB respectively. I booted, then installed the drivers that came with the installation CD. Next, I updated these through their respective manufacturer websites.

Uninstall Avast (a common cause of BSOD's on some systems) and replace with MSE

You may need to do a check of your RAM/RAM motherboard slots at some stage using MemTest86+....leave that for the time being. We'll see if its still needed.

Thanks for the reply!

I have:

• Updated my video card drivers (although I recall doing this a few weeks ago, with a failed installation, but successful install of video card drivers)
• Updated the Virtual Audio Cable drivers
• Updated the Intel USB3.0 eXtensible Host Controller driver
• Reinstalled avast! with a custom install, as this is said to fix the problem in some cases. The driver "aswSnx.sys" is no longer existent in Device Manager (when hidden devices are shown) either, although still on the file system. The reason for this instead of simply installing MSE is that MSE's virus protection rates have fallen in recent months[1][2][3], and although Avast! may cause problems, it seems like the best free solution as of now.

Thats OK...its a trade-off between accepting the risk of BSOD from Avast versus the choice to use it :)

I'm still getting BSODs; I had a look at the minidumps using the Windows Debugging Tools, and found the following:

• One of the blue screens was "probably caused" by the AMD driver (again), so I had a look around the web for some solutions to this. What I found was a solution to uninstall the AMD Catalyst Control Center as the driver was stored exclusively on this program. I have yet to find out whether or not this succeeded.
• Another blue screen was
  Code:

  Probably caused by : memory_corruption

  , which I'm guessing (as you mentioned earlier) has something to do with my memory. I'll do a memory test and post the results here.
• The third blue screen (013014-16177-01.dmp) seems to have been caused by "ntkrnlmp", which doesn't look too much like a direct fault, but rather something to blame when the culprit cannot be identified. This, I am unsure of.

I have attached a zip with the new minidumps and the output of dumpchk.exe.
Thanks again for your help!

Hi, sorry to revive this thread again, but it appears that I am now getting one repeated blue screen, so the other fixes seem to have worked. I've tried to debug the minidump, but with no success.
All of the newest dump files are attached.
