Narrowing Down cause of BSOD
I've been fighting BSOD on my custom PC for about a year, and I have re-installed the OS with a clean boot and replaced the hard drive in my efforts to get the thing to stop crashing. It crashes seemingly at random, but will ALWAYS crash when I try to install Windows 8 or back-up the hard-drive. I'm downloading Shadow of Mordor right now and it's crashed about three times since I started.
With the clean boot, it still crashed (even without any of the third-party drivers) and the new HDD did not do much to help me, either.
The RAM has passed every test I've thrown at it.
I now suspect that the culprit is either a faulty motherboard or a faulty CPU, or perhaps a third culprit but I'm leaning towards a hardware issue because of the clean-boot
dmp files are included
Any advice is appreciated
