If ANYONE can help me figure out what is causing my blue screens of death to appear, I'd be forever indebted. I've tried replacing my motherboard, my GPU, and my RAM. The only other thing it can be is my CPU or my HDD, however, I don't have any extra ones lying around and I can't test it by replacing them. If anyone knows how to read this or know a place where I can translate it myself, I'd be really grateful.

The error logs would be much more usefull to me then what you posted. I dont understand random hex so well. Its probably software related, most BSODs are due to drivers. Check for malware aswell.

I've already gone ahead and reformatted my computer. I installed things one at a time and it was still crashing on me. >_>

Your HDD could be damaged causing Windows files to corrupt.

[QUOTE="magicalclick"]Humm.... the fact that Blue Screen can show up means it is still able to do something, so your RAM, CPU, should be fine. I had faulty RAM before, BSOD won't show up because it just freez unable to change to BSOD screen. I don't know about CPU, but, faulty CPU should freez right away before BSOD comes out. Maybe HDD is bad. Basically it has to be something that Windows still have enough juice to print out a BSOD.

My goal over the weekend is to replace the hard drive and see if it's the problem.

*Facepalm* Substitution troubleshooting, by far the laziest and most hit and miss.

I can't open up the error logs. I've tried that, but it won't let me.

Dont replace it just yet, but do a check for bad sectors, go to properties of HDD, tools and error checking. I think it blocks the use of the bad sectors it finds. Also, try switching your ram modules around, I had some blue screens and just switching the ram stopped them. Also, do the blue screens happen during certain circumstances? it could be that your copy of windows got corrupted somehow, try a different copy of Windows.

I've been getting many blue screens recently on my first build. Windows suggested it was my ram, so I exchanged it. Kept getting issues, but sorta ignored them. Finally my computer went capoot, paid to have it diagnosed at a computer shop and they said it was the hdd. Bought a new hdd, installed it,and my computer was working again. Things seemed well as I was buying games during the winter sales. Then while playing some games for a few hours, more freaking blue screens!!:cry:

I decided to uninstall my gigabyte 460, and reinstall windows. I've been running memtest for my RAM and prime95 to test the cpu. No error messages, so now I feel certain that the additional blue screens were from my gpu. Hopefully I don't have issues sending that to gigabyte for a replacement. Maybe it's a driver issue though, I can't really be certain. It seems like I had two faulty parts when putting together my first computer. What a nightmare. The problem might also be my motherboard, but I don't know how to test that.Hopefully my bad story will make you feel better. Good luck resolving those blues.

Ive fixed about 5 computers with Blue Screen... most the time its been PSU (Power supply) or Ram that needed replacing.

Take it to a repair stoer and tell em whats been going on and tell them you think its your PSU, maybe your ram and they should let you know free of charge.

I always hope its a driver issue when I see this and have to fix it, but most the time its hardware related unfortunatly.

Not true, I have had to replace ram before on multiple computers that had Blue Screen of death. New Ram fixed the issue. Blue Screen error showed up some of the time, other times would just give you an error when you start windows. Can be a pain in the butt to find these problems, but it really can be any of hte parts. Most common for me that ive fixed has been PSU and Ram... one time a HDD, other 5 times PSU and Ram.
