I have a random BSoD happens when I game, Idle, the amount of time for the BSoD to occur differs sometimes right after I boot and startup or sometimes it will be an hour or two etc..

I have tried memory test and got 7 passes with no errors, sfc scans/chkdsk, fresh install on windows and drivers but the problem still occurs.

I came to a conclusion and narrowed down the BSoD related to either a driver or my graphics card please look at the dumps and give me insight! (I used driver verifier following sevenforums guide to create the dumps inside the zip)

(My system is non-overclocked all Bios settings are factory default)

Use Microsoft Security Essentials as your antivirus with windows inbuilt firewall, and free MBAM as the on demand scanner.
Download, install and update those, and then run full system scans with both of them, one by one.

Try not using those keyboard and mouse .... there cannot be any driver updated than that is installed there.

Free up the startup. Windows does not need any other program to auto start with it, but the auto start programs often conflicts and causes various problems including BSODs.

  1. Click on the Start button
  2. Type “msconfig (without quotes), click the resulting link. It will open the System Configuration window.
  3. Select the “Startup” tab.
  4. Deselect all items other than the antivirus.
  5. Apply > OK
  6. Accept then restart.
Let us know the results.

I have uninstalled Hotspot Shield, installed the Microsoft Security Essentials and scanned with no threats or viruses etc (It is a clean install of windows with a formatted Corsair SSD no real files as of yet except for drivers and a few programs)

Updated the said drivers and still got a BSoD (0xA)

New dump attached...

The types of BSoD I get are inconsistent and the variables keep changing

*Edit
To update the drivers I first uninstalled them completely and installed it as the latest version manually by going to the sites driver downloads & support

I updated to the latest driver by uninstalling and completely removing it with DriverSweeper and left my computer running for 6 - 7 hours to see if a BSoD reproduces and in that time 3 more dumps showed up. :cry:

Trying my best to learn.
After a BSoD while idling for an hour on boot-up the SteelSeries Driver stopped working or crashed and here is the dump.

I have uninstalled the SteelSeries Driver to see if I get a new BSoD these new dumps has the Driver Verifier enabled on all non-microsoft drivers.

These new dumps are probably more accurate the other ones I posted have the wrong verifier settings but the current ones have the corrected ones.

The BSODs are not Driver enabled. But those are worthy.

Either the RAM timings are not right, or those are mismatch, or misfitted or corrupted.

First, If those are overclocked or voltages were increased, put them to stock settings. Re-seat them properly. And Test your RAM modules for possible errors.
How to Test and Diagnose RAM Issues with Memtest86+
Run memtest for at least 8 passes, preferably overnight.

First run it with all the existing/installed RAM modules. If it comes with no error, all is good.

But if it starts showing errors, Stop testing. Errors/red lines means one or more RAM is faulty. But the fault may occur due to a faulty DIMM slot, too, which is a motherboard component. Using memtest86+, you can discriminate between a faulty RAM and a faulty motherboard.

How? Say you have two RAM sticks and two DIMM slots. You obtained errors at the test with all RAM sticks installed. Now, remove all the sticks but one. Test it in all the available slots, one by one. Continue the same procedure for all the available sticks.
How to make the inference that is it a RAM issue or it is a motherboard issue? Suppose you have got the result like that:
test|Slot1|Slot2
RAM1| Error | Error
RAM2|Good|Good
It is a RAM, a bad RAM.

But if you have got a result like that:
test|Slot1|Slot2
RAM1| Error |Good
RAM2| Error |Good
It is a motherboard issue. The particular slot is bad.

I tested the ram it had 7 passes with no errors, After I re-seated all the cards/cables/ram my system ran fine for around 8 - 9 hours without crashing then all in the same hour I had 3 crashes with BSoD dumps in the attached file with this post.
