I'm looking for help troubleshooting a BSOD problem.

Over the last month I've gotten 3 random BSODs, two attributed to ntoskrnl.exe and one to nvlddmkm.sys. I did update my Nvidia GPU drivers a little over a month ago so at first I suspected it was related to these drivers. However I did a clean install at that time so that makes me think it's not that. I'm refraining from re-installing these drivers until I hopefully get some advice here.

Here is a link to the dump files:

I have run thorough memory tests, it's not memory.

System specs:
Windows 7 Pro x64
Asus P8Z77M-PRO
Nvidia GeForce GTS450
8GB Ram


Hope this is enough info.

Have you opened a command prompt and tried chkdsk (check file system/volume integrity) and sfc/scannow (checks OS integrity)?. This is to ensure the OS isn't corrupted anyway.

Yes I've run both of those tests. Both reported no errors. I've had Driver Verifier monitoring all non-MS drivers for about 15 hours now. So far no BSODs.

So I've had no BSODs since re-installing GPU display driver and running Driver Verifier. Can anyone interpret my dump files? I'm afraid I'll never find out what caused BSODs the way I'm going.
