Solved Frequent BSOD Every 2-3 hours (usually while gaming)

[userbones]

I think it might be related to my GFX card drivers, but I'm not very tech savvy.
I just updated them to the most recent build (beta build) and still crashing.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Daemon Tools/Alcohol %

DAEMON Tools Lite	"c:\program files (x86)\daemon tools lite\dtlite.exe"

Daemon Tools (and Alcohol % software) are known to cause BSOD's on some Win7 systems (mostly due to the sptd.sys driver, although we have seen dtsoftbus01.sys blamed on several occasions). Please uninstall the program, then use the following free tool to ensure that the troublesome sptd.sys driver is removed from your system (pick the 32 or 64 bit system depending on your system's configuration): DuplexSecure - FAQ

As an alternative many people recommend the use of Total Mounter or Magic ISO

Security App

Start Menu\Programs\avast! Free Antivirus

Avast! can be a possible cause of BSOD's. Remove Avast! and replace with Microsoft Security Essentials to see if it provides more stability. :info: Uninstallers (removal tools) for common antivirus software

Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes are recommended from a strict BSOD perspective. They do not cause blue screens on the system as other AV products do.

Microsoft Security Essentials for Windows
MalwareBytes Free

   Information

• :warn: Do not start the free trial of MalwareBytes, unselect that option when prompted.
  
  
  
• :tip: Update and make full scans with both separately.

System Temperature

Ensure that there are no heat issues, For monitoring heat of the system use Piriform - Speccy or Hardware Monitorhttp://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html

Start up
Keep less stuff at the start-up. Only anti-virus, this helps avoid driver conflicts and improves time to log in to windows.

Memtest86+
Run Memtest86+ for at least 8-10 passes. It may take up to 20 passes to find problems. Make sure to run it once after the system has been on for a few hours and is warm, and then also run it again when the system has been off for a few hours and is cold.

Pay close attention to part 3 of the tutorial in order to rule the faulty RAM stick out.

   Tip

Do this test overnight.

[userbones]

After doing about %80 of the stuff on this list, I ran the Piriform - Speccy and I noticed my GPU temps were peaking at 109c.
I'm almost positive that's my issue, as far as I know that should NEVER go above 90c. I've taken apart my GFX card and re-pasted it, and now my temps are around 75c-80c under load. Gonna mark this as resolved because I haven't BSOD'd since Thanks for the help.
