I remember over a month ago I got a random BSOD while playing World of Tanks, I did not think much of it and just decided to carry on. During February I noticed that the crashes were becoming more frequent, once every week or 2 weeks to be exact.
A week ago upon turning on the computer I noticed that I was unable to boot into Windows. Nothing worked and I was forced to perform a clean reformat. I was then able to boot into windows but the BSOD's persisted. I am unable to replicate a situation to where a BSOD might occur. They seem to happen randomly, whether it be at the desktop, while watching a video, or while gaming. The following errors are the most common:
On Mon 3/9/2015 10:07:04 PM GMT your computer crashed
crash dump file: C: \WINDOWS\Minidump\030915-5703-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x1500A0)
Bugcheck code: 0x7A (0xFFFFF6FB402DFB10, 0xFFFFFFFFC000003F, 0x8C229880, 0xFFFFF6805BF62000)
Error: KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR

Bug check description: This bug check indicates that the requested page of kernel data from the paging file could not be read into memory.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.
On Mon 3/9/2015 10:07:04 PM GMT your computer crashed
crash dump file: C: \WINDOWS\memory.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: ntkrnlmp.exe (nt!KeBugCheckEx+0x0)
Bugcheck code: 0x7A (0xFFFFF6FB402DFB10, 0xFFFFFFFFC000003F, 0x8C229880, 0xFFFFF6805BF62000)

They have however on occasion pointed towards atikmdag.sys and my realtek audio driver. Both of those have stopped however after updating these drivers individually. I am aware that the two main errors (ntoskrnl.exe and ntkrnlmp.exe) can be caused by a failing hard drive or ram, but can also be the result of bad drivers.
I scanned the SSD last month using CHKDSK and it found some errors and apparently windows was able to fix them (the day after the scan my computer would not boot to windows). Should I just assume that the SSD is the culprit? I am just confused as the BSOD's are random in nature. The computer may run fine for a whole week without a BSOD, or I may find that its blue screening every day, sometimes every hour. A push in the right direction would be much appreciated.
