Hello,

I'm currently having BSODs and games are crashing everytime I try to game.

I'm getting mostly memory_management BSODs

Specs:

OS: Windows 8 Pro Build 9200
Case: Rosewill FBM-01
CPU: AMD FX-4100 @3.60GHz
GPU: EVGA 1GB GDDR5 GTX 650
RAM: 4GB DDR3 Patriot Gamer 2 Series
PSU: Dynex DX520WPS 520W
HDD: Seagate ST3500414CS


Help?

I ran Memtest86+ 3 times with no error.
Same with /sfc scannow in CMD.
 
Solution
2 of the 4 faulting modules reference parts of the Nvidia video driver, and a third references a dll for Direct 3D 9. I would start by checking for newer video drivers. The latest Nvidia driver for the GTX 650 is version 310.90, available at http://www.geforce.com/drivers

If that doesn't solve it, grab a temperature monitoring utility like HWMonitor at http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html. Run the offending games you listed above in the Event Viewer output for awhile and see if the temperature for your GPU is really high. They can handle in excess of 100C, but I like to keep them under 80C at full load for good measure.

I accidently deleted the minidumps folder,
Although, here's the copy paste thing from Event Viewer for a few games.

I'll upload the minidump once it happens again.

Solution
check that your mb has the newest bios on it. run cpu-z see that the ram your using is set right. you may have to read the spd tab of your ram them look at the dram timing. the last issue could be thepower supply under load is rippling out or not holding. the ps you have is a no name unit. see if a friend has another ps you can test your system with.

My temperature is usually cool while gaming around 50-60c idling its about 40, I've got a nice cooling system, and ill try a fresh install of the driver, as I was using 310.70, then upgraded to the beta driver. Thanks for the help, ill update you when I get home from work.
