BSODs occurring usually around twice daily. They often happen when gaming, but I've also had them when browsing the web.

The system crashed almost immediately, with the BSOD indicating dadder.sys was at fault, the driver for my old 1800dpi Razer Deathadder mouse. I've replaced it with another mouse to see if anything changes. Attachment should contain the latest minidump.

:thumbsup: well done!
Now you may disable driver verifier, and see if the system works perfectly or not.

If needed, that may be enabled again!

Two more crashes with verifier enabled. Unfortunately they were both restarts and did not generate BSODs. Could an inadequate PSU be the cause? My current one is 380w.

Tough to say, but easy to say that you get a higher one, of at least 600w :)

Installed a new PSU. Reinstalled windows. Updated to service pack 1 and almost an immediate bsod. Attached the details. I've received different instructions for using verifier. Do I need Standard settings, Force pending I/O requests, and IRP Logging all ticked?

Run Memtest86+, for at least eight passes.

Let us try to search the cause of the crashes in the memory.

I've already run memtest+ for 12 passes. No BSODs since applying this hotfix though, including when gaming. Cautious optimism that it fixed the issue...

Ran Furmark for 20 minutes with the settings suggested. Temperatures never exceeded 58 Celsius and I saw now visual errors. In light of this (and the replaced PSU & successful memory checks) I rolled back the bios version to the last stable build and am yet to experience a blue screen. Fingers crossed...
