CPU-FX 6300 Not overclocked/Stock heatsink
GPU-R9 280X
RAM-Crucial Ballistix 2X4 GB
Mobo-Asus m5a99fx pro r2.0
These BSOD are infrequent and occur after several hours of gaming.....any ideas as to what the cause could be? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What you can try easily would probably be, >Reset to Default your bios/Uefi (this should reset everything including OC's)
>Check your Mobo's driver version and check whats the latest on the website of its manufacturers
>go to your start menu > type device manager > and then try to click all the list > and update driver by left clicking them, if there are updates it will download and update them and if it has the latest update it will tell you it is updated
>check your GPU and if it has the up to date drivers
>scan for malware > you can use Malwarebytes it is free
>Test your ram sticks (memtest) When you run the test and it BSODs the Ram might have problems
>Test your GPU (any benchmarking software i.e. kombuster from MSi, Unigine Heaven etc.) When you run the bench and it BSODs while its doing it the GPU might have problems.
Good case scenario would be having an outdated software causing the BSOD.
at Worst would be a defective component.
The rest you can follow as what usasma mentioned on his post.
By the way whats your Power supply Rating? and from what company? Cause if you have a lower rated PSU paired with a 280X it can also cause BSODs if your gaming mostly when the 280X is not getting enough juice from the PSU.
I just updated several drivers. Oh and my power supply is a Seasonic S12II 80 plus Bronze
the 520w? You should be okay in the PSU,
now leaves some driver updates + checking the ram and gpu. If everything are checked and are okay, worst case would be that it caused by the mobo. But ye, just check the drivers then try gaming to see if it BSODs.
What is the best way to test memory, I know of Memtest but if I'm not mistaken it requires a disc drive which I do not have.
