I've included the files that it said to include in the "How to post a BSOD" thread. So far I've updated my GPU driver but the problem, alas, continues. I've been battling this since I built the computer and its finally driving me insane. Up until today, I've never received an error message, but I installed the Windows 7 forums tool, and suddenly some appear on my desktop. I also received a windows error message earlier. I can include those too;

Hi,
most of your dump files are like the above and point to the gpu driver as a possible culprit.

BiosVersion = F18
BiosReleaseDate = 08/21/2012
This is the bios that came with the board and there has been several updates released. Please ensure you have the correct download for the corresponding motherboard revision. This is always written on the board itself and in your case will be either 1.0 or 1.1:
http://uk.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4140#bios

SYMEVENT64x86.SYS Wed Aug 22 06:33:18 2012: Norton AV. This well could be the source of your issue especially if you've been installing the gpu driver with Norton activated. Norton is well known for causing issues with windows please remove using this tool:
https://support.norton.com/sp/en/uk/home/current/solutions/kb20080710133834EN_EndUserProfile_en_us
Install MSE as it's far more stable:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/pc-security/mse.aspx

atikmdag.sys Fri Mar 29 02:27:04 2013: AMD GPU drivers:
Once you've removed Norton and installed MSE remove your GPU drivers using this tool:
http://www.wagnardmobile.com/DDU/
This will remove any old bits of driver lying around.
Install the latest WHQL version:
http://support.amd.com/en-us

athrx.sys Wed Jul 20 14:33:03 2011: Atheros lan driver, later version on website, please also update what you can:
http://uk.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4140#driver

Please run the Intel driver update utility:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/default.aspx

Post any new dump files.
 
Thanks for the quick response, I'm now downloading some of the drivers. Will I be able to reinstall Norton AV, after I have finished this?

Edit: http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect Just went here and I assuming this is what you mean by the Intel Driver utility. Of all the things it found, all of them were "unknown or unsupported." I'm also assuming that this is ok, but I just want to clarify :)

If the bsod has stopped and you've updated bios and drivers you could always try installing Norton again although be aware in case it causes a bsod.

If the Intel utility didn't find anything then thats fine I just wanted to see if anything needed updating..
 
Unfortunately, I just had another crash, but I looked in event viewer and it says;

Post the dump file and I'll have a look. I meant to ask last time but are you running Easytune 6? If you are running Easytune try removing that as it's known for bsod's.
 
Unfortunately, no new dump files were created. Sorry, but did you see in my last post, the spoiler contains a log from the event viewer. Is there any way to get anything from that? Also thanks so far, as I have yet to crash in a game. The latest one was when I was just using the computer, then it displayed a "No Signal Input" and the buzzing sound in the headphones.

I don't think I have easytune installed. Had a search in Windows and a look in programs but found nothing. I've definitely never installed it.
 
Hi,
I traced the event ID and MS has a page on it here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2028504

Something shut the pc down although it doesn't look like it was a bsod. Did you have a power cut or anything like that? Find command prompt in the start menu, right click on it and choose run as admin. Type:
sfc /scannow
Press enter and await results. This will check for any corruption.
 
Got another crash today.

I'm going to try the sfc scan now thing.
 
I also have this other recurring problem where the monitor will display a "No Signal Input" and the computer will keep running. To stop this I press the sleep button on the keyboard and then resume the computer. This happens a lot.

Another thing, in my event viewer it says there are 000s of "Bonjour service" errors.
 
Bonjour service is something to do with Apple software I think. Did you run the scan?
 
Yep it finished, but it then proceeded to close. I assume that it found nothing but... just had another crash not even doing anything. Screen displayed no signal input and then the buzzing noise came on :(
 
Make sure all the cables are sound and connected properly between the gpu and the monitor. If you have another try that instead just in case the no signal is a cable issue. I see you have a 7900 series card, make sure any extra power connectors are firmly in place. Also can you post the actual gpu model you have and also the PSU your running, manufacturer and wattage please.
 
What are your temperatures like? Heat can be a cause of sudden shutdowns. Is your pc dusty? Also you could try running with the side panel off and if you don't get any crashes you can almost guarantee it's to do with heat.
This free app will help you with checking temps:

Tried that and no result to be concerned about. Got another BSOD today. Windows error message:

Hi,
try stressing the gpu with this app and if it bsod's then you might have an issue with the gpu itself:
http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/

Check that Windows isn't corrupt as it's failing to reset the driver: Find command prompt in the start menu, right click on it and choose 'run as admin'. Type:
sfc /scannow
Press enter and await results.
