Start off by removing Dameon Tools/Alcohol 120%. Its driver, SPTD, is known to cause BSODs. Once the program is removed run the SPTD removal tool. http://www.duplexsecure.com/en/downloads
that's the first most likely cause I see of this if it is software related.


Your getting the WHEA hardware code.
This can be caused by a glitchy overclock.

I can also be caused by actual faulting hardware.
You can try running this in case a windows file is to blame. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html
