I need some help determining the cause of frequent crashes while playing games, especially when playing Minecraft. I'm using Windows 7 64-bit with the latest Nvidia drivers. See the link down below for the dump file.

Computer specs
Nvidia Geforce GTX 780 Ti (Asus DirectCUII OC Edition)
Intel Core i5 3570K @ 3.4GHz
8GB Kingston HyperX Ram (running @ 1600mhz)
Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Edition (build 7600), 64-bit

Thanks in advance!
 
Solution
your bugcheck was in win32k.sys caused by a old bug in display window manager code. Your machine will continue to get these bugchecks until you update to windows 7 service pack 1 + updates. The current video drivers just no longer work around old bugs in windows 7 RTM builds from 2009.



SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (3b)
An exception happened while executing a system service routine.
Arguments:
Arg1: 00000000c0000005, Exception code that caused the bugcheck
Arg2: fffff96000164283, Address of the instruction which caused the bugcheck
Arg3: fffff88009e38000, Address of the context record for the exception that caused the bugcheck
Arg4: 0000000000000000, zero.
