I'm having this problem since the parts for my pc came in. First with Windows 8.1 and now with 7 aswell. I ran CPU and memory tests like prime95, Memtest86 and Seatools for the HDD/SSD without any luck.

Usually happens when I'm playing, it can happen as soon as I open the game, a few minutes in, sometimes I can even play for 3 or 4 days without problems. There was this one time when it froze while I was using chrome but that was the only time that it didn't happen while playing.
With Windows 8.1 the computer just froze, no BSOD, I started getting BSOD when I installed Windows 7. The computer mostly freezes right now and I haven't encountered BSOD until today.

Another one of the symptoms seems to be that the screen goes black 2 times for a few seconds every now and then, I'm using a 32" TV and a 18" monitor, so I'm thinking all this has to do with graphics drivers.

I ran driver verifier like a month ago but I couldn't get a BSOD after 36 hours. Today I tried driver verifier again and got a BSOD at boot 2 times and a freeze while playing.

My specs:
Motherboard: Asrock Z75 Pro3
CPU: Intel i7 3770
RAM: Corsair 8GB DDR3 1600mhz
PSU: Corsair TX850
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
Graphics: I'm using my processor as graphics for now

For now I disabled Turbo Boost in my BIOS settings. I also ran a program called Driver Reviver to check the drivers and it tells me that there's a quite a few outdated drivers, but I don't know if can really trust this program.

Also I ran the command to check Window's integrity and it says that it found some errors that it couldn't repair, I tried to repair windows with the same ISO I used for the installation but it keeps telling me that it's not the right version or something.

From what I can understand, it says that these 2 things could be the cause: mbfilt64.sys and ntoskrnl.exe. mbfilt64.sys seems to be an audio driver but I have no idea about the other.
 
the bugcheck was in Realtek HiDefinition Audio driver (file labelled as Creative Audio Driver)

just a very old version from 2009. Looks like the stack was corrupted.
Can not read BIOS info from your memory dump.

The drivers should be up to date since I'm using the latest drivers from Asrocks website, what should I do in this case?

 
I would guess that windows plug and play installed the default driver and you have the updated driver on your system and just not selected.

I would remove the old driver from the driverstore and then install the updated driver, reboot into BIOS, reset the BIOS to defaults and reboot back into windows.

you could also, turn off windows plug and play, uninstall the old driver, install the new driver then turn on the plug and play again. You can also mess with the windows and select the other driver, the option is buried down in some menu and people never seem to find it.
