I've had my custom built PC working for a couple of weeks now, but the other day I got a BSOD. I had just installed Sleeping Dogs from Steam, and I clicked play. A message came up from steam saying that it had to install an up to date Direct X first. It did this for a while then the message disappeared and nothing happened, the game didn't load. I clicked play again and it installed the same thing again, then nothing happened again. I tried a final time and the same thing happened. A few seconds later I got a BSOD. I assumed that the Direct X had caused it, so I rebooted and did a system restore to before Direct X installed (it showed up as having installed 3 times, so I restored to before it installed the first time). I then turned the PC off.
The next day I turned the PC on again, went to Device Manager and checked all the drivers were up to date (only one wasn't, I think it was a Realtek driver, and it is now up to date). I used the computer for a few hours but avoided any gaming. I went to the AMD site and put in my PC details and it recommended I install a driver (AMD Catalyst Control, an earlier version of which was already installed). I started the install, and also started installing iTunes at the same time. I left the PC running for a couple of hours and came back to find another BSOD which looked like this:

Yesterday I got another one within 10 mins of booting up to visit this site.

I've never had to deal with a BSOD before so I'm a little lost. Any help? I have Windows 7 64 bit btw.
Here are the minidumps:
