I get bluescreen, but not during using any particular program at the moment. I'm not 100% sure if Mozilla Firefox has been on every time the crash happens. This started about 3 weeks ago. Perhaps twice a week at first, then 4 times yesterday. Nowadays it happens every day.

When it has happened, I have usually been listening to music with DVD player or watched streaming videos in the net (youtube or other streaming).

I ran 2 different memory tests.

Sometimes, the computer crashes once per day, sometimes 4 times in 15 minutes. Then again, I've used the computer without crash for 10 hours straight! I simply do not understand the problem.

I've enclosed the asked DM Log Collector result and I've managed to snap 1 photo of the bluescreen, which sadly misses a few letter/numbers (it's can only be seen for a few seconds each time).

Thank you Boris, I'll have to try disabling the driver verifier then.

Okay, I tried to disable the driver verifier as told in the instructions. When I go to "display existing settings", every line on the left hand read "no". Is it now as it was meant to be with those instructions?

This crash is called DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION what refers to driver verifier caught a driver that was misbehaving.
Yet this crash may appear with and without driver verifier enabled as the description says
BSOD Index
NOTE: May occur in Win7 and later w/o Driver Verifier being enabled

Thanks axe0.

One thing I now notice, although BSOD index reads it's for Vista, is that I had a cord plugged into USB port! Hmm, I took it off earlier today, and voila: no crashing after it. I listened to music again on DVD drive and watched streaming video. No crashing...

Okay. was away for a few days. Now, something happened, and I think it might have been the reason for BSOD:

I got a message from Windows, that said "Graphic card stopped responding". Before this, the screen went black for a second or two.

When I had this BSOD, the picture swapped between my monitor and my television, to which the PC is also connected to. If I had worked on my monitor, I had to turn on the telly to check out if the PC screen was on it and type my password...

So, I think I need a new graphics card...

You could try updating/reinstalling/trying older versions of the drivers, then try another graphics card.
