So I'm having an error currently, and I'm not really sure what it was.

I think it is linked to when I came here previously, however I am not entirely sure, I followed the advice given and I thought I had fixed it, however a few weeks later my computer is yet again crashing upon entering low power mode.

I have used the dm log collector application found on this website to collect information of the crash.

That is the utility that I used to collect the .zip file attached to my post.

Hi.

Are you overclocking?
As you are getting BSODs, you should stop overclocking and run all the hardware components like CPU, GPU and RAM to their default settings.

Check if the Power Supply Unit (PSU) supplying adequate power to the computer or not.
eXtreme Power Supply Calculator
Also let us know the wattage of the PSU.

Is the computer hot? Report us the heat of the computer after a couple of hours of your normal usage. Upload a screenshot of the summery tab of Speccy. Alternatively, you can publish a Speccy snapshot too: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/311593-speccy-publish-snapshot-your-system-specs.html

Stress test the Graphics Card using Furmark.
Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark

Also, can you update the BIOS to version 2.40 from ASRock > Z87 Extreme3 ?

Let us know the results.

SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000007e)
This is a very common bugcheck.  Usually the exception address pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem.  Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003.  This means a hard
coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
/NODEBUG.  This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
system is booted /DEBUG.  This will let us see why this breakpoint is
happening.
Arguments:
Arg1: ffffffffc0000005, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: fffff8800f286a37, The address that the exception occurred at
Arg3: fffff880091c9158, Exception Record Address

Using the eXtremem Power Supply calculator, I found it was suggested I have 381W, and I have a 600W Cooler Master PSU installed.

I have a published snapshot of Speccy that can be found here

I am unsure what I need to post from the Furmark stress test, however I let it run for a half hour with the settings on the thread. My temperature capped out at 79 C and I saw no artifacts or other glitches during that time.

I am resetting my computer now to update the BIOS to 2.40.

Apparently everything seems to be nice. :)

If the BSODs continue even after updating the BIOS, we may need to think about the drivers. So let us know how it is running.

I think that the problem is fixed. I put it into sleep mode earlier and that was unsuccessful, but after rebooting with all the new changes the computer successfully went into power save while I was gone for errands.

I editted this thinking there was a concern, for now I'm not sure whether it is fixed or not but I hope that it is.

You need to observe the situation over at least a week before calling it as fixed. :)
