Hello All,
I hope I'm in the right place to ask this, if not I apologise and would greatly appreciate it if you could point me to the right direction.
I recently started to experience random BSODs with various reasons, from 'memory management' to 'kmode exception not handled'. It initially manifested itself when browsing the web or while working in Excel, however now it crashes quite often when I'm playing a GPU intensive game (e.g. Assassin's Creed Unity).
After doing a bit of digging around on online forums and troubleshooting, I think one of the possible reasons is a corrupt driver, but I don't have the knowledge nor the experience to figure out which one is the culprit.
What I tried so far:
1) Clean Windows Install - no luck, BSODs would return after a few days.
2) Restore to a previous backup image - same as above.
3) Carried out sfc/scannow a couple of times but didn't reveal any corrupted files.
4) Used Windows Memory Diagnostic but no issues were detected.
5) Updated GPU drivers from the manufacturer - still no luck.
My PC config is as follows:
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit
CPU: Intel Core i7 4790K @ 4.00GHz
RAM: 8.00GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 799MHz (11-11-11-28)
MB: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. Z97-PRO GAMER (SOCKET 1150)
Video: Acer XF240H (1920x1080@144Hz) / 4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (ZOTAC International)
SSD / HDD: 223GB Crucial_CT240M500SSD1 (SATA (SSD)) / 465GB TOSHIBA DT01ACA050 (SATA )
Also, my 3 most recent minidumps:

If anyone has any experience with this or could provide some insight on what the issue might be, I would appreciate it immensely.
Kind regards,
Mike
