My computer failed to start the first time I pushed the power button, and since, every now and then I get the above-mentioned bluescreen. I disconnect and uninistall a few things and then it starts, and keeps going for long enough to make me think I've fixed it, then it happens again. It usually happens after letting it sleep overnight.
My Setup:
asus z87-k mobo
i5 4430
Corsair xms3 2x8GB DDR3 RAM
Nvidia Quadro k-600 GPU
Samsung 840 128GB SSD (System Drive)
1TB ST1000DM003-1CH1 HD (Unknown manufacturer, but problem persisted with it disconnected and uninstalled)
Corsair HX 650 PSU
ASUS PCI-E wireless card
Logitech wireless mouse and KB

Things that seemed to work but really didn't: disconnecting and uninstalling HDD, GPU, wireless card, and mouse/keyboard (I really thought the mouse was the problem, since changing it seemed to work for a couple of weeks), Updating all drivers though device manager. Re-seating switching RAM slots, changing SATA ports for HDs.

I don't know if it's the problem, but DriverHub says that two drivers are out of date ( Intel 82801 PCI Bridge - 244E, Intel 8 Series/C220 Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller) But the Windows and Intel update utilities said that those things were up to date, and I couldn't find newer ones manually. Everything else is up to date as far as I can tell.
Enclosed are the last few minidumps. Anyone with help or advice may feel free to talk down to me, 'cause I really don't know what I'm doing
ntoskrnl.exe" and address "ntoskrnl.exe+75b80"
Parameter 1 00000000`00000003
Parameter 2 fffffa80`0e5ebb30
Parameter 3 fffffa80`0e5ebe10
Parameter 4 fffff800`031d40d0.) Thanks.

There doesn't appear to be any problems related to your working set, however, there does seem to be problem related to paging.

Run some hard-drive diagnostics and follow these steps:
Find your hard-drive manufacturer and run their tests.

Additional Tests:
Post a screenshot of Crystal Disk Info summary:

If you have an SSD, make sure the following are up to date:
  • SSD firmware
  • BIOS Version
  • Chipset Drivers
  • Hard disk controller drivers/SATA drivers
  • If you have a Marvell IDE ATA/ATAPI device, make sure the drivers are up to date from the Intel site or Marvell site and not from your motherboard/vendor support site.

Check for any file system errors and bad sectors using Option #2 of:
Use this command with Disk Check:

Code:
chkdsk C: /f /r

Note: Do not run the hard-drive tests on the SSD, check your SSD support page for appropriate testing tools if any.

Thanks very much for your response.
Samsung utility reported firmware up to date, no errors on SSD.
ASUS utility reported BIOS up to date, and my version is the newest one available from ASUS site.
The newest chipset drivers on the ASUS site were actually older than my installed ones.
Disk Check reported no errors on Seagate drive. Did not not it on SSD as per instructions.
SeaTools did not find a supported drive.
CrystalDiskInfo found no errors on either drive. Screenshots below.

Addition. Booting from iso of Samsung utilities, program ran, but was illegible. Reported information was from the windows-based Samsung utility.

That's fine, I always post the bootable DOS based tools first, since some people may not be able to boot into Windows.

Your hard-drive and SSD seem to be fine, therefore I would suggest testing the RAM, which is another exhaustive process unfortunately.

Run Memtest86+ for least 9-10 passes, and preferably overnight as it can take a while to fully complete.

Test each RAM stick individually, if an error is found then move the same RAM stick into the next DIMM slot and test again, if errors are found for the same RAM stick in every available slot then you have a faulty RAM module. On the other hand, if no errors are found in the next slot or the other slots for the same RAM module, then you have a faulty DIMM slot.

Test each RAM stick and every motherboard DIMM slot available.

test|Slot1|Slot2
RAM1| Error | Error
RAM2|Good|Good
It is a RAM, a bad RAM.

But if you have got a result like that:
test|Slot1|Slot2
RAM1| Error |Good
RAM2| Error |Good
It is a motherboard issue. The particular slot is bad.
