Hi Guys,
I am looking for some assistance from anyone who knows how to troubleshoot BSOD's a bit deeper. I have already read through the small dumps with BlueScreenView and fixed any driver issues I found. I also ran Windows 7 Verifier to stress test drivers and uninstalled anything I found to be an issue.
I recently ran into an issue with my system receiving the Stop: C000021a Fatal System Error BSOD. It only occurs at nighttime after I am done gaming. From the system logs it seems to crash right after I get off the system (like within 15 minutes). I do have a screen timeout setting of 15 minutes. However, I play the same games throughout the day on and off with my screen timing out and it doesn't BSOD then. ONLY at nighttime. I can't think of anything else I am doing that is different. Below is a list of changes I recall since the issue started up.
1. Connected my older 24" BenQ FP204W monitor to my GTX 480 as a secondary monitor to my Samsung 27" 120HZ monitor.
2. Updated video drivers
3. Installed Visual Studio 2012
4. Installed and run quad-boxing software (ISBoxer) with Diablo 3
The first couple times I noticed the crash I saw there were nvXXX... driver file issues. I rolled back my NVidia drivers a bit and haven't had those since. I then ran verifier and found a Cisco Client VPN driver and some audio driver issues. I removed the VPN client and removed onboard drivers for my mobo sound, disabled in BIOS as well. I only use a Creative Soundblaster XtremeGamer X-FI card at this time. Since then I only get the C000021a BSOD with a c0000005 code below it. I found this article:

There is no registry key for GinaDLL. The system does not produce dump files from this BSOD. I don't know if there is a way to force it. I just wake up in the morning and the BSOD is on my SECONDARY screen (not primary). I have to manually reset the system.
Not sure where to go from here. I built this machine myself and haven't had any issues with it until now. I am fairly good at troubleshooting system issues but I don't see any more traces to run with. My system specs are:
i7 3770k
Asus Xtremem6 mobo
16GB memory
Mushkin Chronos Deluxe 128SSD
Win7 64-bit Pro
Thanks
