I have recently built a gaming pc, and ever since I built it and installed the proper Nvidia drivers for my GPU, it has gotten the BSOD. I havent gotten the chance to take a picture of it, but it has happened many times so i dont have all the information from the BSOD but i do have some things that windows showed me after it rebooted. What makes me wonder is that ever since i tried playing something on it for the first time, it had gotten the BSOD, and then yesterday, and before yesterday, the system ran smoothly and I didn't get not one error or a random shutdown with BSOD all day for those 2 days.. On a side note, I have also checked device manager for maybe some clue of whats going on, but the only things that seem to be with a yellow exclamation mark is my Bus controller and my Ethernet controller. I don't know what those are, but I have tried to update them, but i can't find where to get the drivers. My internet is working fine with my wifi card, so I don't see how those could be a problem, but if you know they might be causing the problem, please let me know.

I honestly have no clue what is going on, because before it made me think it was my gpu, but for 2 days straight it ran fine. Then now it started doing it again, and on some occasions following the BSOD I will i will also get it during the start up. I also know i got one a couple hours ago, because i left my room, and when I came back my computer had restarted. I had barely anything open. Maybe like a web page or two.

All of what has happened has gotten me to a conclusion that its probably my memory, but since it has been happening in so many different occasions, Im not sure.

This is the message windows gave me once when it restarted after a BSOD:

Files that help describe the problem:

These are my specs:
Gigabyte Z87 LGA 1150 CrossFireX HDMI DVI ATX Motherboard (GA-Z87-D3HP)

Intel Core i5-4670 3.4GHz 6MB Cache Quad-Core Desktop Processor

Corsair Enthusiast Series TX 750 Watt ATX/EPS 80 PLUS Bronze (TX750)

GTX 770

Corsair Vengeance Blue 8 GB (2X4 GB) PC3-12800 1600mHz DDR3 240-Pin SDRAM Dual Channel Memory Kit

TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 Dual Band Wireless N900 PCI Express Adapter,2.4GHz 450Mbps/5Ghz 450Mbps (WIFI CARD)

Western Digital WD1002FAEX Caviar Black 1 TB SATA III 7200 RPM 64 MB Cache Internal Desktop 3.5" Hard Drive

I also defragmented my disk, ran a memory check and I also ran a hard drive check, nothing really came out saying that something was wrong... I also forgot to add that I USED THE SAME RAM AND HARD DRIVE ON MY LAST BUILD AND THEY WORKED FINE. These parts including the RAM and the hard drive are no older than a month. I've updated a bunch of drivers already, including my motherboard's drivers and intel drivers for my CPU. And if theres any other information that would help determine my problem, just let me know and I'll add it.

if the problem started after you installed the drivers for your video card, then the video card might be faulty or the drivers are causing a conflict, but generally, BSOD means hardware fault, so maybe get the video card checked out.
