I've been having weekly BSODs for the past month (built PC 2-3 months ago).
They seem to be happening randomly, sometimes before Windows starts, sometimes When I'm browsing web.

Last time it happened was when I plugged in my iPod. I'm really unsure as to what the problem could be. I ran memtest clean, but only for 1 sweep. I would really appreciate any help I could get at the moment. I triedsearching online, but there's nothing that specifically applies to me.

The log attached has 4 crash dumps... I tried looking them up to no avail :/

I would really appreciate any help I could get. If u need anything else, just ask

Thanks in advance

You need to uninstall it.

There are some NTFS corruptions, too.

Hey,
Thanks for replying. I've done most of what you suggested, but I could not get Seatools to recognize my drives because I'm in AHCI mode, and not IDE (SSD drive).
While I was doing the other solutions though, my computer crashed 2 times, pretty randomly... One at startup once while browsing. Still no idea what might be causing this...
I have also removed everything from startup except my Antivirus (Security Essentials)

This time it is the display driver failure.
Code:

There are some updates released two or three days ago, opt for it.
And, Stress test the Graphics Card, too. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/100356-video-card-stress-test-furmark.html

As you are using a SSD, you need to try to update the firmware.

Uninstall Gigabyte Force. Let us know the results.

Updated SSD firmware (Vertex 4 V.15)
Tested card, seems fine. Updated nVidia drivers.
Had crash at startup again today.
Uninstalled Force driver now. May I ask why I needed to uninstall it?

Should I update my BIOS? It's at Version F5, and the newest seems to be F11.
I have attached the log as usual. But it's all the same except the most recent crash. (Should be anyway).

Thank you for helping me

Well, now let us go for Driver verifier.
Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable

Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.

Let us know the results, with the subsequent crash dumps, if any.

Anyway, your BIOS is not any old at all, so it should not be a problem.
Code:
Machine ID Information [From Smbios 2.7, DMIVersion 39, Size=3068]
BiosMajorRelease = 4
BiosMinorRelease = 6
BiosVendor = American Megatrends Inc.
BiosVersion = F5
[COLOR=Blue]BiosReleaseDate = 03/29/2012[/COLOR]
SystemManufacturer = Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
