Alright, so I've been posting about this new pc build of mine on here for a while, and I thought I had the problem fixed because I had no problems for over a month now, gaming fine and doing everything else fine. Then all of a sudden last week I've started getting BSOD again, it's only been two of them so far which is way less than I was having problems with before but I shouldn't be getting any BSOD's. The first one was an F4, and the recent one that happened today was a 7a.

This is my first pc build so I'll be honest I'm very new at this stuff, but I'll be honest I've done everything I can think of besides replacing the mobo and I just really want to figure out if it's necessary or not before I do it. The only thing that I've done to the computer recently is I started using an xbox style controller to play Dark Souls 2, I initially had issues with finding the driver and getting it set up, but I finally did get it working. So I don't believe that's the problem but who knows, it was doing fine before I hooked it up.

Also I don't have the latest Nvidia driver downloaded so I'm going to do that just to make sure that's causing problems.

But other than that I'm really just looking for someone who can look at my dump files from the BSOD and tell me what the hell is going on. If someone sees this and can help if you could just post something letting me know how to post the dump file on here for them to see and then we can hopefully figure it out.

My Build
MSI Z87-GD65
Intel i5 4670k
Crucial Ballistix 1600-ddr3
WD Blue 1tb 7,200 rpm HDD
EVGA Nvidia GTX 660
Corsair cx750m

If your running Windows 7, the BSOD files will be stored in c:\windows\minidump. You should zip these up and attach them to your post or upload them to a file sharing site and send us the link so that we can examine them.

Have you ruled this out being a hardware fault? For example have you ran Memtest86 to check your RAM is ok?

Yeah as far as hardware goes I know the RAM is ok, a few months back that was the first thing I was worried about but I went ahead and got a new set a while ago and tested them and they're working out fine. I did have a samsung SSD originally but I found out that that was faulty so I traded that in for the WD HDD and a water cooling kit. Honestly I haven't tested the WD HDD since I put it in but it was brand new so I'm hoping I didn't get two bad hard drives in a row. So honestly the only thing I haven't replaced is the mobo, processor and psu. But as far as I can tell the processor and psu are fine I've done a lot of testing on them (as much as I can). So as far as hardware that would only leave the mobo in my mind, but I need to figure out if I'm correct.

But yeah i found the dump file so I'll zip it and try and figure out how to get it on here or somewhere you guys can see it.
