    Hi guys, I'm hoping you could help me out here. I've been having random/frequent BSOD while pretty much doing anything as the title says.

    I have 4 sticks totaling 32 GBs of RAM, and I ran memtest on all 4 separately and then together...no errors detected.

    I've tried uploading some .dmp files but it's telling me I have an invalid file format? Any help you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated, thanks! :)

    Here are my specs:

    OS
    Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

    CPU
    i7-4770k 3.50GHz

    Motherboard
    Gigabyte B85M-D3H

    Memory
    32 GBs

    Graphics Card
    EVGA GeForce GTX 970

    After reading the instructions posted on the top (sorry guys!) I figured out how to upload the dump files and I've attached them here. Thanks!

    Thanks for the response, Essenbe. Per your instructions, I've updated my system specs. I think I filled it out best I could, but anything else is missing or you need more info let me know.

    I also downloaded and burned SeaTools for DOS onto a blank CD. I restarted my computer, went to the BIOS, and booted from the disc drive. SeaTools opened up, I clicked on "I Agree", and the GUI was telling me there are no hard disks detected? Not sure why that is, as the hard drives are definitely connected as I am posting this reply from my computer.

    Also, not sure if this helps, but I've attached an image of a BSOD I got about 15 minutes ago. Thanks again for your help.

    That's the exact BSODs you have been having. In BIOS look at the first picture in the tutorial. If your Bios is set to AHCI, Seatools won't be able to 'see' your hard drives. What you have to do is go into BIOS, set your controller to IDE then boot straight into the CD. When the test is finished boot straight into BIOS and set the controller back to AHCI. If your controller is set to AHCI and you change it to IDE, you may BSOD if you try to boot into Windows. Read option 2 again SeaTools for DOS and Windows - How to Use

    Ah, ok. Sorry for missing that earlier . I went back to the BIOS, set the controller to IDE, ran the test on both my SSD and the HDD. Both passed

    Try this online virus scanners plus whatever you are using. Also download and run Malwarebytes Free Malwarebytes | Free Anti-Malware & Internet Security Software . Just during set up, uncheck the start trial and, as always, watch out for any add ons. Also download and install Superantispyware SUPERAntiSpyware | Remove Malware | Remove Spyware - AntiMalware, AntiSpyware, AntiAdware! Use them both as on demand scanners.

    Scan with Kaspersky TDSSKiller:
    Anti-rootkit utility TDSSKiller
    Anti-rootkit utility TDSSKiller
    ESET online scanner:
    Free Virus Scan | Online Virus Scanner from ESET
    Free Online Virus Scanner | ESET

    I ran all of those scanners...only things that came up was some Adware and some cookies that I guess were a little helpful that they've been removed, but I'm not sure if those had anything to do with the BSOD. I didn't get any crashes while running them. But as soon as I ran a game on Steam, I got a BSOD
