I had this issue a long time ago with the original Bioshock game. Everything was running fine, but in gaming you could count on a BSOD. Turned out, at least in that particular case, for some reason the memory I was using needed a little extra voltage to 1.65 V instead of the 1.5 V listed on the label. If you can, try bumping up your ram voltage (don't go over 1.65V, I think that's the limit on these haswell chips, I'm not certain so do some homework on that) or swap the memory (maybe try at least 1600 Mhz with that Haswell chip, I think they are good for up to 2133 MHz if I remember right?)
