Repeated blue screens. Please help

[Traxan]

Hey gang. My computer has been blue screening up a storm, including 3 today. The thing is, the faults are all over the map. WhoCrashed shows the following list just for this month:

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
BAD_POOL_CALLER
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
ATTEMPTED_WRITE_TO_READONLY_MEMORY
SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION

Under Probably caused by, I have (in Oct alone)
dxgmms1.sys
ntoskrnl.exe
ntoskrnl.exe
win32k.sys
win32k.sys
ntoskrnl.exe
win32k.sys

Any ideas where the problem might be? Bad hardware? Memtest has come up clean.

Might be the hard drive. BSODs are usually caused by hardware or drivers. Have you recently installed a driver or program? I would try and run HDTune and/or Crystaldiskinfo to look at the HDD SMART data.

Memtest should be run over night.

Those errors are common with a bad stick of RAM. How many sticks do you have? From what I have seen from other posters, Memtest is about 50/50 in detecting a bad stick of RAM.

Ok I will run Memtest overnight.

The C: drive is a OCZ Vertex 4. It worked fine in my Sandy Bridge machine. Things all went to shit when I built this Haswell machine.

Did you try setting to default in BIOS after you build this new system? It might be that the mobo is running the wrong memory timing... Yeah run the memtest overnight. That's a good step to start. If no issues run hard drive test.

I barely tweak my BIOS. I just shut off things like onboard audio and serial/parallel, make sure the drive boot order is correct and it's set for an SSD and that's it.

What hard drive test do I run on a SSD? BTW, my last BSOD came when I simply clicked on a menu in my browser.

Just to clarify. run Memtetst 86+

I recommend 24 hours, 12 hours at a minimum. I've had RAM that doesn't fail right away, on stick took a few days to fail out. My BSoD's were random and a few weeks apart with that stick.
