BSOD on start up with different errors each time

[stephenb]

So I have an iMac (boo hiss) that is around 4 months old. I have been getting BSODs on start up for a couple of months now in Windows 8.1 originally. I figured it was a bad driver that isn't compatible with 8.1 so I downgraded to 7. It worked fine for the first few reboots. I fear that a driver may be the cause, but apple supply the drivers for the motherboard etc. I have only installed one driver on top of the basics installed by the apple wizard which was for a razor naga mouse. I am getting various errors on the BSODs including kernel panics, NTFS errors, random .sys file errors.

I had noticed one of the sys files was indeed related to my razor mouse "rzfilter.sys" so I have downgraded from razor synapse 2.0 which is known to cause problems, and installed an older more lightweight driver for the mouse.

I have tried booting with nothing but my keyboard connected which doesn't have a driver and it still BSODs.

I fear it may be a memory problem too and haven't ran memtest yet as I'm busy with work. I have 32gb of memory in the system that I installed myself, although that was from day 1 and problems didn't start occurring till around a month after I had the system.

I am not sure how the memory.dmp works but from an iOS developers point of view you'd need my symbols to desymbolocate the crash log? I have installed the windebug program from the windows sdk package and opened the memory.dmp file. Here's what I get:

I have also ran your exe file and attached the included logs.

Update: adding a new dmp file as it happened again. This time during system use and not on start up.

Still getting this, and it is doing it around 5 minutes after waking from sleep too (I had been trying to put it to sleep to avoid the problems at start up)
