Hello again. I made a post about a week ago stating that all of my games crash. It doesn't matter what game or what setting, eventually they all crash. Most within 10 minutes. I constantly get the APPCRASH error. Also I downloaded Precision X and OC Scanner to monitor my temperatures and such. My fan doesnt seem to go above 30% no matter what the temp gets to. I've never seen it get about 68. With that being said, I have seen my games crash when the temp is at 50 as well. So I do not think it is an overheating issue. I also tried using the benchmark that came with OCScanner and have gotten the blue screen of death many times. Is there any log I can post from there that might help. This is my second card and I am having the same issues so I feel like it has to be a driver issue or something on my computer is not compatible. I have also used CC Cleaner for the registry to remove any conflicts with old graphics drivers.
 
Specs:
I7-3770K
ASRock Z77
GTX 970
850 Watt Corsair PSU
8 GIG Corsair Vengeance RAM
1TB Hard Drive
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

    This dump is from ARMA 3. It doesnt always seem to create a dump file when the game crashes. I'll keep testing and posting more files. I really hope this file helps because I am at a total loss.

    What is your BSOD Code from  C:\Windows\Minidump\103114-39171-01.dmp
    You can use BlueScreenViewer to see it the code http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html
    Looking for 116 or 101 or 124 and 117.
     
    Z77, did you disable the intergraded Video on the Motherboard?
     
    BSOD codes for overclocking
    0x101 = increase vcore
    0x124 =
    increase/decrease QPI/VTT first, if not increase/decrease vcore...have to test
    to see which one it is
    on i7 45nm, usually means too little VVT/QPI for the
    speed of Uncore
    on i7 32nm SB, usually means too little vCore
    0x0A =
    unstable RAM/IMC, increase QPI first, if that doesn't work increase
    vcore
    0x1A = Memory management error. It usually means a bad stick of Ram.
    Test with Memtest or whatever you prefer. Try raising your Ram voltage
    0x1E =
    increase vcore
    0x3B = increase vcore
    0x3D = increase vcore
    0xD1 =
    QPI/VTT, increase/decrease as necessary, can also be unstable Ram, raise Ram
    voltage
    0x9C = QPI/VTT most likely, but increasing vcore has helped in some
    instances
    0x50 = RAM timings/Frequency or uncore multi unstable, increase RAM
    voltage or adjust QPI/VTT, or lower uncore if you're higher than 2x
    0x109 =
    Not enough or too Much memory voltage
    0x116 = Low IOH (NB) voltage, GPU issue
    (most common when running multi-GPU/overclocking GPU)
    0x7E = Corrupted OS
    file, possibly from overclocking. Run sfc /scannow and chkdsk /r

    BSOD
    Codes for SandyBridge
    0x124 = add/remove vcore or QPI/VTT voltage (usually
    Vcore, once it was QPI/VTT)
    0x101 = add more vcore
    0x50 = RAM
    timings/Frequency add DDR3 voltage or add QPI/VTT
    0x1E = add more
    vcore
    0x3B = add more vcore
    0xD1 = add QPI/VTT voltage
    “0x9C = QPI/VTT
    most likely, but increasing vcore has helped in some instances”
    0X109 = add
    DDR3 voltage
    0x0A = add QPI/VTT voltage

    Are you running your RAM in XMP mode inside the BIOS? If so, please disable XMP and set your RAM manually inside the BIOS. The frequency, timings & voltage set inside the BIOS should match the JEDEC stickers on the sides of your RAM modules.

     
    After setting up your RAM manually inside the BIOS do the following...
     
    Run Memtest86+ v5.01 for ten passes to rule out faulty RAM. You will need a USB flash drive to install memtest onto. Boot off the USB stick to run memtest. Report back with your results after performing the above actions.

    I'm not sure how to get the Blue Screen code. I have looked and I have the viewer you posted but I cannot seem to find it. As for the RAM, I am sure you both know more than me but I have not adjusted my RAM since I have had this computer. Does RAM usually need to be changed when upgrading a graphics card. I have never done anything like that before.

    No, but you should have setup the RAM timings, voltage and frequency inside the BIOS when you first built the PC.

    Download BlueScreenView with full install/uninstall support OR Download BlueScreenView 64-bit (in Zip file)
    You can use ether one. You may also find it under Event Viewer
    You open the dump file located C:\Windows\Minidump\103114-39171-01.dmp per one of your post
     
    But first set you memory as Sajin states above.
