Recently my PC crashed and I ran WhoCrashed, but I have no idea what this means.

Just be careful there are a lot of those driver check free-wares around the internet and most are scams. Only trust the manufacturers and well know companies programs in that regard. as far as the original problem it looks like there was a kernel error which is an error internal to the OS. You may need to repair your os using the install disk. or even in a worst case scenario you may need to reinstall. Sometimes its not worth the hassle to try and hunt down those internal errors. I usually just back up what I can and start over...
It means something crashed in your OS

Error reports like that I bet even Microsoft employees wouldn't be able to interpret, the reasons for a system crash are many and varied. If your PC isnt doing this consistently or showing other problems, I would put it down to a random occurrence.

couple of things:

"...This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem. This problem might be caused by a thermal issue...."

a) drivers: check if you have all the drivers updated, go to computer > properties > device manager, also check motherboard firmware version update
b) thermals: check if your cpu thermals are good, does your motherboard bios report cpu temps? is your fan working properly, have you tinkered with its speed in the bios?

All drivers from CD that I got with Mobo

CPU i5 4430 has stock cooler

No tinkering .... except I set the cooling for processor from quiet to balanced.

Coretemp reports 30-35 degrees Celsius on idle which jumps up to 40-45 on gaming.

ok temps are good,actually great so that's ruled out

drivers - [strike]what's your mobo model[/strike], stupid question, should have read your first post a little more carefully; how old is your pc and bios version; why i ask is because the ones that come with the board need not be the latest, call me superstitious but this haswell thingy generally needs a bios flashing; so just checking that side; also you do have to do what i mentioned in point (a) when you are connected to the internet just to make sure you rule that out

bought hdd, mobo and proc 1 month ago.... rest all is 4-5 yrs old... will get my gtx 760 delivered on 16th along with 600W PSU.

so basically right now, case, gpu and psu are old (optical drive i disconnected as i didnt need)

i updated BIOS from intel's site as the guy I bought it from recommended me to do it the first thing.

Sorry for asking, but how can I check if all my drivers are up to date with the help of the internet?

Do I have to do it manually 1 by 1?

yep, manually. let me rephrase it just to be safe - i only know of doing it manually, there may be a better way but i do not know; it's not as bad as you think it will be, half an hour of patience and a bunch of right clicks and all your drivers are updated, this wont guarantee a resolution though

here, this will help you

On intel's website under support for my mobo, there is a free download that says check and update all drivers so I will use that......

Its late in the night here now so I will unfortunately have to communicate further tomorrow.

I just re-installed 4 days ago because Windows had gotten corrupt. I don't have an install disk, but I haven't seen any more BSOD's, so if I do see one again I will tell you.

Seriously, I don't want to reinstall Windows... What should I do??

Please, if you want a list of all installed drivers, software or something like that I will send it.

I have a Seagate Barracuda 2 TB and I can't find any diagnostic tool on Seagate's website. Where is this diagnostic tool for Seagate HDD? Also, I don't think HDD is the problem as it is 1 month old.

If it is, its still under warranty.

Mostly just browsing the web using Google Chrome, with Kaspersky Anti-Virus and Xfire (not always) running in the background.

The latest crash happened while I was taking a typing speed test on www.goodtyping.com

Edit: Oh I also always have CoreTemp running in the background.

This time too browsing on net......

I also forgot to mention (really sorry) that I ALWAYS hear a short beep from my motherboard before each and every one of those damn BSOD's

Will have to communicate further tomorrow.

OK..... I had run MemTest86+ for about 20 mins... no errors. I'm sorry I forgot to mention this but I'm just too frustrated....... can't think properly.
