Need help with BSODs..

Last night, I got a BSOD.. didn't think much of it.. The message (didn't note the stop code) said it might be some new hardware or software. Only thing I had just added was a USB flash drive.

Then, today.. started playing TF2 (first, got a message that my video drivers were out of date.. started to uninstall the catalyst control center, but then cancelled the uninstall, so that shouldn't have affected anything??) . Game crashed. Restarted the computer, and immediately got a MULTIPLE_IRP_COMPETE_REQUESTS stop error.

Restarted the computer. Windows started OK... a minute or two later, got a BAD_POOL_CALLER stop error.

Any idea what is going on here?

Dunno if it's related but I got that same BSOD when I was decrypting an HL2 file.

I think all of my steam games had already been decrypted (then again, steam was acting weird a few days ago.. but I chalked that up to it being the release day for Ep. 2)
 
I wonder if it's a Steam-related issue though. Do you know how to debug dump files after a BSOD? Cuz mine was corrupted so I'm curious to see what the specific error message was caused by.

Debug the dump - check out the web page in my .url and post the results of !analyze -v once it's all configured.
