Intermittant BSOD, always ntoskrnl.exe, checked ram, hdd, etc

Having done all that a couple days ago, it seemed like everything was fine, but I just got another BSOD. As well, google chrome has been constantly crashing, even after I reinstalled it, which is weird, not sure if related.

This time it was a 0xa ntoskrnl, dump attached

Sptd.sys is removed. That's the good news.

Have you been running SFC /scannow yet?

We usually ask people to do this command to check if Windows is corrupted. It's the most common used one to check if the Windows files are corrupted. If it'll find errors, it'll restore them.

   Tip
If you're having a custom customization layer on your Aero, it's likely to get restored to default.


Press Start | search 'cmd' | Right-click it
| open as Admin | type SFC /SCANNOW

computron,

Help us to help you by carrying out:

Update your SevenForums System Specs
User CP (located on the top menu bar) |
Your Profile | Edit System Spec
(left-hand column)

To gather info, use Speccy (my favorite) or SIW or System Info

In the System Manufacturer Block, enter:
Ø Manufacturer and Model OR Custom build.
Ø ADD the word laptop, desktop, netbook or tablet.
For example:
Toshiba Satellite L305D notebook.

Provide full windows version info, for example:
MS Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit

Use the “Other Info” block for Optical Reader,
Mouse, touchpad, wifi adapter, speakers, monitor, etc

Scroll down and click on SAVE CHANGES.

With Speccy, you can select with your mouse/touchpad info from the display
and paste that info into your specs.

SIW is a marvelous program, but the free version does not offer
this capability.

==================================
==================================

After that is finished, since much water has flowed under the bridge, then attach to your next post:

updated specs
attached bsod zip as requested
one odd thing was that speccy reported my ram as 8.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 802MHz (11-11-11-29)

weird that it would post as 802 when they are 1600 and configured as 1600 in my bios (which are version f11 I believe, they have been flashed back and forth while I was fixing an unrelated problem)

also thought I would post the results of the powershell script (the contents of the text file):

A couple of questions and some info:

The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. Are you using the UEFI? You might want to consult the manual for your board.

UEFI has no disadvantages and only advantages. In the future this will be the only interface available to a computer's firmware.

With that said, go to this website:

GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket 1155 - GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 (rev. 1.0)

Either apply the UEFI, taking note of the Gigabyte utilities that you no longer need and that will not work correctly.
