Hello everyone, want to start off by thanking the community for their time and effort. Well, right into it.

I get BSODs every so often, been happening for around 2.5 months now? Frequency has been increasing, happens mostly during gaming (not any specific game), sometimes while idle at desktop (I think I always have a video paused or playing when this happens but not sure), once immediately after the automatic restart from a prior BSOD.

I have a GTX 780 Ti, my drivers are up to date.

For ease of viewing, here's the latest error displayed after BSOD:

I've done two tests, memtest86 and furmark (as detailed here). I also ran sfc /scannow.

Memtest86:
Overnight test (~9h, 3 passes)
18 fails in test #13 (row hammer)
0 fails in all other tests

I've read that this is unlikely to be my problem.

Edit: Also ran memtest86+ as detailed here. No errors.

Furmark
Ramped up to 84degC after 6 minutes and then plateaued for 2 minutes before I ended it. No artifacts. This was with the AC running, I live in Singapore so I'm estimating easily +8 to 10 degC if the AC is not on.

I'd attach the gpu temperature log but I can't seem to find it, the files I found in the furmark directory are definitely not for the tests I ran.

I've instead attached a log from a different program (GPU-Z), this is from a different run of furmark though, not using the recommended settings linked above. I ran furmark once before realizing there was a guide to using it on here. It was the default settings, no extreme burn-in or PostFX. I ended the test before the temperature plateaued because I realized I wasn't using the recommended settings. I didn't run GPU-Z the second time with recommended settings because I thought FurMark would log the temperature, but as mentioned I couldn't find the log.

Edit 2: sfc /scannow
I re-ran sfc again and bothered to research the corrupt files in CBS.log, looks like it was this problem. I've run the fix and sfc came up clean. I got another BSOD after this, so looks like this is not the problem.

Sorry for wall of text, and I look forward to hearing from you all.

Tried windbg

Ok, I've gone and downloaded windbg and checked my minidumps. It seems I don't have the correct symbols and the ones from SRV*C:\Symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols won't work. I tried looking up where to get symbols for nVidia stuff but had no luck, so if anyone knows anything about that I would appreciate pointers.

These are some of the details from opening the minidump and also !analyze -v, and if somebody who understands the following could give me a few pointers that would be great.

Code:
BugCheck 116, {fffffa8010cc04e0, fffff8800508ce60, ffffffffc000009a, 4}
