You have kind of a old machine. ASUS does not have any windows 8 drivers for the machine.

I would start by a BIOS update (7 versions behind)
http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M4A77TD/HelpDesk_Download/

then update your older drivers (from 2011)
\SystemRoot\System32\drivers\nvstor.sys Mon Sep 12 16:53:04 2011
\SystemRoot\System32\drivers\iaStorV.sys Mon Apr 11 11:48:16 2011

from the vendors websites if you can (nvidia and intel I think they are both storage drivers)
Note: system was only running 1.5 minutes: you might want to run some basic hardware tests
Memtest86 to test memory, and check your real time clock to confirm your battery backup is still
working for you BIOS.

Note: key windows files were not corrupted in memory...

Your dump indicates that it was a driver fault. This can be caused by antivirus software, new drivers, and some software. it was not specific as to the issue but here is what I pulled out.


On Wed 2014-08-06 12:30:21 AM GMT your computer crashed
crash dump file: D:\Downloads\080514-17000-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x1500A0)
Bugcheck code: 0xA (0xFFFFD000428E5DB9, 0xD, 0x0, 0xFFFFF803F3957F2C)
Error: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
file path: C:\Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
company: Microsoft Corporation
description: NT Kernel & System
Bug check description: This indicates that Microsoft Windows or a kernel-mode driver accessed paged memory at DISPATCH_LEVEL or above.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.

I suggest rolling back any drivers that have been updated or uninstalling new software. Do this one at a time so that you can identify the app/driver. With any luck you have only installed one new app and that is whats causing this.

Hey guys sorry for the late reply. I've been busy and had ended up leaving the desktop computer in question at my old apartment. I've recently started it up again and it looks like the ram was the problem. I did a clean reset, a bios update and was still having the BSOD's. When placing the original ram in, it looks like everything's good as new.
