Hey guys, I've been BSOD'ing a lot recently with this error. Here's some context.

My birthday was two weekends ago. For it, my parents gave me money to buy a new computer, so I bought parts to make a new one, and made it. Installed W8 on it, everything works fine. The next day it kept BSOD'ing with this error and then did it even more the next. A week and a half pass with no errors, and it's back again, full force. I've noticed this happening when I start streaming while playing this game (with a new skin I got for it, I don't think this is the cause though) called Stepmania. It has become increasingly annoying. If there's anything I need to do to help with the troubleshooting, please don't hesitate. Thank you.

Edit: Before anyone asks, I have researched this a lot myself and have found no solutions.
 
change your system memory dump to kernel, run cmd.exe as an admin then run
verifier.exe /standard /all
reboot, run until you get the next bugcheck then
copy the memory dump file c:\windows\memory.dmp
to a server like microsoft one drive and post a link.

when you are done testing run
verifier.exe /reset
to turn off the extra error checking or your machine will run slowly until you do.
