Hey guys any help you could give me would be much appreciated this is driving me nuts over here. Anytime I play a game seems to happen with any and all games I have tried I get a BSOD. I might play for an hour or two before it happens, or I might play for 10 to 15 minutes when it happens. Seems random and not so much as if its at a set point and then happening due to something trying to run. I have attached the Zip file for you to take a look and see what you can find.

Much thanks,

ARF

It certainly did, so looking through the files you have provided I think I have found the problem. It seems that your network driver is failing, which is causing the BSOD:

Code:
fffff800`00b9c928  fffff880`0556fb0cUnable to load image athrx.sys, Win32 error 0n2
*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for athrx.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for athrx.sys
 athrx+0xf5b0c

Driver Reference Table - athrx.sys

Looking at the driver we can see it is very very old:

Code:
kd> lmvm athrx
start             end                 module name
fffff880`0547a000 fffff880`055f7000   athrx    T (no symbols)

I downloaded the most recent update they had and installed it yesterday. Since then I havent had alot of time on the machine but in the short amount I did spend ( about 2- 3 hours ) the machine BSOD 2 more times. I'm sure what you pointed out wasn't helping my cause any, but it doesn't seem to be what is crashing this machine. Not sure what to do about it at this point.

I am wondering if it could be a bad SSD or video card issue at this point. I already pulled all the RAM and put each stick back in one at a time and ran the machine to see if it would stop crashing. It seems that all 4 sticks of RAM weren't the problem, the machine still BSOD'd. Any other ideas? your help is much appreciated.

Thanks,
ARF

Well in that case, why dont you try running some hard ware diagnostics:

For your video card:
FurMark: VGA Stress Test, Graphics Card and GPU Stability Test, Burn-in Test, OpenGL Benchmark and GPU Temperature | oZone3D.Net
FurMark Setup:
- If you have more than one GPU, select Multi-GPU during setup
- In the Run mode box, select "Stability Test" and "Log GPU Temperature" (BurnIn test in newer versions).
Click "Go" to start the test
- Run the test until the GPU temperature maxes out - or until you start having problems (whichever comes first).
- Click "Quit" to exit

For your processor:
Free Software - GIMPS
Prime95 Setup:
- extract the contents of the zip file to a location of your choice
- double click on the executable file
- select "Just stress testing"
- select the "Blend" test. If you've already run MemTest overnight you may want to run the "Large FFTs" test instead.
- "Number of torture test threads to run" should equal the number of CPU's times 2 (if you're using hyperthreading).
The easiest way to figure this out is to go to Task Manager...Performance tab - and see the number of boxes under CPU Usage History
Then run the test for 6 to 24 hours - or until you get errors (whichever comes first).
The Test selection box and the stress.txt file describes what components that the program stresses.

For your SSD try checking for firmware updates then run a scan with crystal disk info and post a screen shot of it here

Fresh Problem with 0x00000101 BSOD

Fresh install of Win 7 Pro, all Windows Updates, i7-3790x brand new custom rig OCed to 4.7 with latest BIOS, ran Driver Genius till no more updates found, ran 3+ hours of Prime95 blend (twice!) with no errors and stable temperatures on all cores, GPUs have latest drivers, ran MemTest no errors discovered, normal operation of PC brings no issues.
Have had 0x00000101 errors three times in past 24 hours: once after I left the PC running for an extended time on screensaver and twice more playing a PC game.
I believe the error may be related to GPU problem but I went ahead and got full logs. Unfortunately in this reply window all the little icons are broken and I cannot see any way to attach the .zip file.
Please advise, thanks!

Firstly please start your own thread if you are having BSOD problems second see this tutorial about how to attach files: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/9733-screenshots-files-upload-post-seven-forums.html

From what you have told me that just screams failing processor, I would recommend looking into getting yourself a new CPU as soon as possible before the whole thing goes belly up.
