For Christmas I rebuilt my computer and since I am a college student and qualify for Dreamspark, formally known as MSDN Academic Alliance, I had access to a free copy of Windows 8 Pro I decided to take the great leap forward.

Build went smoothly, no problems until today when I had two BSODs within minutes of each other. The first while playing Bastion, and the second time while watching a youtube video. In both cases memory_management was cited.

All the requested files are attached, thank you for the assistance!

Just an update, I've had two more BSODs. I've attached the .dmps.

In addition, I'm having web pages and programs randomly crash.

Please run memtest to check for RAM errors:
Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool
Run for 7/8 passes and on one stick at a time so errors aren't confused.

Checking your moBo's manufacturer's page I notice you have bios updates.
Also please update the following:

Broadcom Lan driver: ASRock > Z77 Extreme4

Realtek HiDef driver: Link Removed

You also have running a Xconnex or ViXs network hub or similar? I notice the drivers are from 2008 and really should be updated if possible.
