Well, it was too good to be true. Had another bsod and 2 restarts, all of them while playing league of legends. They happened at 10min intervals. Still running in clean boot. The 2 restarts did not generate a crash dump so I have only attached the one from the bsod.

Update: The bugcheck analysis said that the BSOD was related to HIDCLASS.SYS. Said driver is timestamped Sat Nov 20 12:43:49 2010 (4CE7A665). I understand this is a USB related driver, so I will note here that my mouse's (Microsoft Laser Mouse 6000) USB cable has suffered a fair bit of wear and tear and sometimes it's not making a proper connect resulting in the mouse freezing for 1 sec. Does that have anything to do with the bsod? :/

Okay..what is the age of all the hardware?

Enable Driver Verfier:
Let's run driver verifier and see if it catches any misbehaving drivers: Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable

I have a problem. In the drivers list driver verifier only returns 2 drivers. I have attached a screenshot. Could it be that I am running clean boot?

We have checked it.... nothing precise. And that is why we need to DV enabled dumps.

With DV enabled, perform the most crash prone actions, try to replicate those BSODs.

Another 4 freezes since I last reported. Can't seem to get a BSOD. Would it help if I ran a benchmark like FurMark or Hyper PI?
Update; I had a restart too. It seems that prior to all of the restarts/freezes the mouse lagging for a couple of seconds followed by the sound of unplugging/plugging a usb device...

OK, disable the verifier now. Run the computer normally. Depending on its future behavior, we will suggest you the further steps.

Had another BSOD while playing League of Legends. Bugcheck indicated it was due to HIDCLASS.SYS and the bugcheck code is 0xD1 (0x5200, 0x2, 0x1, 0xFFFFF880057C0CDB). Any ideas?

Update: Found out that device manager could not recognize a tv card I had plugged in the pc. As it is not really needed I went ahead and removed the device from device manager. Can someone see if there are leftover drivers?

Anti rootkit utility's scan was clean but windows defender offline full scan removed 9 threats (6 were trojan) but all from an external hard disk. Apparently C was clean. (BSODs have happened even with the external hard disk unplugged). Also there's still the issue with the non recognized multimedia controller so I will completely remove the tv card I mentioned earlier and I'm gonna report back.

Update: I removed the tv card so I am no longer getting a non recognized device in device manager.
