Random BSOD 0x25 (Idle+InUse)
Hello,
I've uploaded the necessary files along with this post.
I put my computer together earlier in January part by part. Each part was installed at the same time and all the drivers and most software was installed on the first day of use. (I have since reinstalled a number of drivers.) Each component of the computer is listed in my profile.
Notably: I am using a 450W Rosewill CAPSTONE power supply, the stock Intel fan, and the thermal paste already spread on the surface. I'm aware that 450W might seem low, but according to an online calculator even at max load I'll should have 45W to spare.
I've had several BSODs. Almost every single BSOD has a different error code associated with it. They happen ~daily. They occur if the computer is under load, or if the computer is idle. Only the most recent BSOD has appeared to have been related to an action of mine. The most recent BSOD occurred while alt-tabbing back into battlefield 4 from the desktop.
Efforts I've completed in an attempt to fix the problem:
Run check disk on the SSD and HDD. (Clean disks)
Run memtest86 with both memory sticks in the motherboard for 12 hours, 7 passes. (No errors.)
Run windows memory test 2 passes (No errors
Run System File Checker (validated)
Run windows update (Updated)
Run spybot search and destroy complete scan (safe)
Run Microsoft Security Essentials complete scan (safe)
Installed updated versions of every driver I could find:
-Chipset + Other related LGA 1150 drivers from Intel
-A few from Gigabyte's website
-NVidia graphics drivers
Run Driver Verifier (Noteworthy)
Noteworthy Driver Verifier:
When I ran driver verifier I did indeed get a blue screen:
Bug Check Code: 196
What was displaced on the blue screen:
"0xC4 (0xF6, 0x190, 0xfffffa8010ceeb30, 0xfffff8800f4a80a1)
The faulty driver currently on the kernel stack must be replaced with a working version
nvlddmkm.sys"
I searched around and found that driver seemed to be a problem for some people using NVidia products. I disabled driver verifier. I uninstalled everything related to NVidia. I used Guru3D Driver sweeper to be certain everything was uninstalled. I then reinstalled the bare minimum NVidia drivers necessary to use my GeForce GTX 760.

I'm not sure what to think now. I suspect that the issue is one of these:
-Faulty Graphics Card
-Not enough power
-Too hot
-Another driver issue I don't understand
I don't think that the issue has to do with heat or too little power since it occurs when the computer is idle and when the computer is under load. However, I don't really have any evidence that the problem can be traced back to the graphics card.
Any help would be appreciated!
