This happens during GTA5, league of legends, usb transfer, just google chrome open and even during startup after another crash, for a total of 10-20+ crashes.
Several cmd scan things did not tell me what's wrong and the problems persisted after updating drivers with SlimDrivers.
Some system specs in my profile, Aspire M3641 with standard parts but a new hdd because the old one got damaged (unstable electricity?).
Uploaded the few minidumps I have, the newest one from "controlled" NotMyFault-crash attempting to get some more dumps for info, but I lack expertise.
I also have 2 or 3 MEMORY.DMP files, but they seem a bit large for upload.

Automatic reboot is off, and league of legends just hung the pc twice (complete with sound in <1 sec loop) until I forced reboot, without any message or dumps.

Hello, Raiktarakk and welcome to the forums You had 3 dump files. Tha last BSOD you had was caused by Notmyfault

Code:
Use !analyze -v to get detailed debugging information.

BugCheck D1, {fffff8a0035d6800, 2, 0, fffff8800a85b385}

*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for myfault.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for myfault.sys
[COLOR="Red"]Probably caused by : myfault.sys [/COLOR]( myfault+1385 )

Uninstall NotMyFault.
Use this executable and driver to crash your system in several different ways. Chapter 7 uses Notmyfault to demonstrate pool leak troubleshooting and Chapter 14 uses it for crash analysis examples. The download includes x86 (in the exe\release directory) and x64 versions (in the exe\relamd directory) as well as full source.

That is in your graphics driver and part of GeForce experience.

Please uninstall Dameon Tools. It is a well known cause of BSODs. Uninstall it from control Panel Add Remove Programs. Then

Daemon Tools, Alcohol 120% and Power Archiver Pro uses SCSI Pass Through Direct (SPTD), which is a well known cause of BSOD's.

1. Uninstall Daemon Tools.
2. Download the SPTD standalone installer and follow these steps:
- Double click the executable to open it
- Click the button shown below



If the button it is grayed out, as shown in the image, there is no more SPTD installation on your system, and you can just close the window.

You current Nvidia driver is this

Code:
 nvlddmkm
start             end                 module nameMyfault
fffff880`0f227000 fffff880`0fec0000   nvlddmkm   (deferred)             
    Image path: \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\nvlddmkm.sys
    Image name: nvlddmkm.sys
    Timestamp:        Tue Feb 03 18:08:12 2015 (54D162EC)
    CheckSum:         00C57C2D
    ImageSize:        00C99000
    Translations:     0000.04b0 0000.04e4 0409.04b0 0409.04e4

Please reinstall the Nvidia driver using this method, but install only the graphics driver and PhysX. Nothing else http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/327414-nvidia-drivers-avoid-problems.html

I would also make sure all your drivers are up to date by going to Acer's site for your model. Also

please open an elevated command prompt ( click start, type cmd in the search box, right click on the cmd entry and select run as administrator) in the black box that opens, copy/paste sfc /scannow. If you decide to type it, notice the space between the sfc and the /. It is a system file checker which will scan your system files and attempt to correct any missing or corrupt files. What we want are the results to say windows found no integrity violations. If it says files were found but could not be repaired, close the box, reboot and run it again, after opening the administrative command prompt. You may have to reboot and run it three times for it to repair all system files. If it can't repair them after 3 reboots, let us know.

Also please run Seatools for DOS http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/313457-seatools-dos-windows-how-use.html#Part3

Let us know the results and how it worked out for you.

Thanks a ton for the quick response! I've gone through the list and here are the results:
NotMyFault was run through the exe so there was nothing to uninstall, but I deleted it and don't expect it to cause any problems.
Deleted Daemon tools and ran your SPTD thingy, the uninstall button (which I assumed was supposed to be the "button shown below") was greyed out so all should be good here.
Removed all Nvidia drivers, then installed only the graphics driver and PhysX. No more Experience, it didn't work with my hardware anyway.
The Acer website nor Acer Updater had any updates available and my BIOS R01-C2 version seems to be ahead of the suggested R01-B4, so I'm not touching that.
I ran sfc /scannow which found nothing, I ran it a few days ago as well as a similar command and one of them fixed something but didn't tell me what...
SeaTools for DOS (USB) passed on the first try.
I really hope all or any of these things fixed the problem, but would not be surprised to see more crashes in the near future.
*edit*
As long as everything ran fine I've "Mark Solved" (clicked it, and it deleted my whole reply-.-) and once something went I returned and try to provide info, posted below.

Sadly today my pc crashed again, sudden full freeze with only google chrome open, lasting several minutes until I forced a (hard) reboot.
Chrome had nothing special open, some text/picture-based website tabs, a paused youtube video and 1 video playing at dumpert.nl.
Once again no crash dumps, any ideas what could cause this, or at least something to obtain more data/info?
*edit*
Another freeze during league of legends, nothing I can do other than hard reboot...

The installation is counterfeit.
The Motherboard BIOS is from Feb 2009 - 6 months before Windows 7 was released, and cannot possibly support the OEM_SLP that is currently installed.
The fact that the BIOS SLIC table is apparently v2.1 implies that a hacker's Activation Exploit is installed to get around Activation and Validation requirements.

You need to reformat and reinstall using genuine media and Key.

in that post by the OP and because I was on a similar thread just recently and a very similar number caught my eye the digits following the 7601 just didn't look right?

I actually bought this pc right before 7 was released, it came with a free upgrade (vista to 7) disk a few months later.
It did NOT get a vista installer with it for some reason, so reinstalling windows is gonna be a problem...
Do you have any idea what exactly is causing these crashes, and perhaps some kind of workaround?
*edit*
Looked around, found the upgrade disk in case you don't believe me.
Is there any reason why it wouldn't be compatible with this motherboard BIOS?
I assumed it wouldn't matter, been running windows 7 on it for a long time but crashes have been more common than on my vista-vista laptop...

Nope - I can't honestly say I ever look at that particular line in a report :)

It's the BIOS date in this case which gave it away - and not much else!

The free upgrade to Windows 7 was ALWAYS via an OEM_NSLP Product Key, as that was independent of the original motherboard.
The installed Key is an OEM_SLP Key, which relies on a Windows7-compliant BIOS SLIC table.
These tables cannot possibly be present legally on any machine with a BIOS dated before the RTM date of Windows 7 (22/7/2009).

Whoa, that OEM and SLIC stuff is complete Greek to me, so sorry if I don't understand the importance or even what this means in respect to any problems/crashes.
Now that I think of it, this pc has been brought to some repair guy by my parents several years ago (think I mentioned the problematic hdd before) and I'm not quite sure what he did.
Is it possible that some windows installers just cause problems when running on.. specific hardware?

Raiktarakk, here is the very short abbreviated version. In order for that Operating system to be activated on your computer requires a hacker's exploit which alters protected system files. When you alter the files that make the system work, you should expect the system to not run properly.

Counterfeit installations such as yours contain heavily modified code that causes the installation to behave it unexpected ways. Analyzing BSOD's and determining their causes on these sorts of installations is very unreliable. For this reason, many analysts won't attempt it.

My recommendation is to install a genuine Windows 7. This will minimize the problems you are experiencing, and make subsequent diagnosis of BSOD's far more reliable. Once you are running a Genuine Windows 7 installation, and are still experiencing BSOD's, we will be happy to help you solve them

It may be useful to point out that there haven't been any crashes for several weeks, and all I did was take out my 2 RAM cards then click them back in, and install more updates...
There seems to have been a problem with my RAM then?

Your operating system came installed on another computer and is legal only on that computer.

Just a thought - what was on that machine that you upgraded to 7 from because the experts here are saying what you have is not legal. From some searches around for that board I am going to assume it was XP?? or at least Vista.



What I am trying to get at is where did you get the machine - an original purchase or is it a used model or a refurbished one because whoever sold you that machine I am guessing has sold you a pup if it is not an original buy. The other likelihood could be that someone has "fixed" it for you and has done some rather unprofessional things to it.



Just what is the model number? as it doesn't say anywhere.



Lastly just swapping RAM sticks around would not cause you all these headaches - it simply doesn't make sense, and running Ultimate 64bit with just 4GB DDR2? RAM is hobbling you a bit.
