Windows 7 64-bit random BSOD
I just built a computer, and may have bitten off more than I can chew. I randomly get the blue screen of death (sometimes surfing the web, sometimes while using windows explorer, sometimes when doing nothing). I took the computer into microcenter for a check where they did a memory/driver test, and did not find any issues. I have attached two seperate BSOD error messages - the first is when I was trying to transfer music from an external HD, which a BSOD almost always happens while doing. The second is from a BSOD when I had just clicked on "computer" from the start menu. In addition to random BSODs, I also sometimes freeze up, and have to power off the computer manually. Again, that occurs randomly. The most similar previous post I have found so far is from this link:
