Hello, I've been having issues with my built computer while gaming. For some reason, when I play games for a while, my Pc freezes with a loud buzzing noise either with a blue screen or without one. This has been happening for a while, i've replaced my PSU for a high quality one and sent my motherboard for an RMA to see if that was the issue. I have no idea what else to do, I ran Who crashed and here are the memory dumps:

On Thu 8/4/2016 5:26:02 AM GMT your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\080316-5890-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x14F109)
Bugcheck code: 0x1000007E (0xFFFFFFFFC000001D, 0xFFFFF80056BC5109, 0xFFFFA500613D2518, 0xFFFFA500613D1D40)

description: NT Kernel & System
Bug check description: This indicates that a system thread generated an exception which the error handler did not catch.
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.

Side Note: I've updated my BIOS and have drivers for my gpu, chipset, usb, audio, lan, and sata

Here are my specs:
Intel i5 6600 3.3ghz
ASUS Z170-A Motherboard
Corsair DDR4 ram 2133
ASUS GTX 970 Strix
EVGA SUPERNOVA GS gold certified 650w
Sandisk 240gb ssd
WD caviar blue 1tb
Coolermaster Hyper 212 evo
and 4 case fans

Everything is at stock speeds, no overclocking. Help is much appreciated
 
Solution
to test the ssd and hdd i would use the maker software specialy for long test on hdd alos another ting try to use the ssd only in system without the hdd plug in and see if it freeze .
error code 0xC000001D = An attempt was made to execute an illegal instruction.

it could be a number of reasons for this, overheating, malware, overclocking, drivers corrupting data in memory.
generally when playing games, I would be looking to update the motherboard sound drivers so they do not conflict with the gpu sound drivers. Many motherboards put out new sound drivers right after windows 10 shipped.
looks like your motherboard has a lot of updated drivers: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/Z170-A/HelpDesk_Download/
and various bios updates. (pick up the BIOS update if you update the SATA and USB drivers)

Ok, so I did a reinstall of windows and re-installed the drivers and it still crashed. As i've said, i've replaced my psu and rma'd my motherboard and that didn't do anything either. So I decided to do something i've been so trusting on, my ram. I took one stick out and played games with that, after a day the pc froze. Next day I just used the other one and after 5 days it froze, I resetted my cmos and that also didn't work. So I decided to run memtest and my results were odd. One of my sticks passed and it passed all tests but it said "[Note] Ram may be vulnerable to high frequency row hammer bit flips" and when i ran memtest with the other stick, it froze, so is this a confirmed ram issue?

This was with one stick of ram, this happened again when testing the other stick. Is this a ram issue? I've already tried re-installing windows, replacing the psu, rma the motherboard and making sure it's not a heat issue, I also checked my disks with crystal disk and they're 100% ok.
