Crashes primarily indicate a memory fault or incompatibility. Provide the following information about your hardware so we can check compatibility:

Download and install CPU-Z and Upload screenshots of the CPU, Mainboard, Memory, and SPD tabs. In the SPD tab, upload an image of each slot. To upload all screenshots, it would be best to:

generate the images using the Snipping Tool,
go to where the images are saved,
right click in a blank area within the folder where the images are saved,
create a new folder,
name the folder CPUZ,
select all the images,
place the pointer over an image,
press and hold down the left mouse button and drag the image (all images should move with it),
drop the images into the CPUZ directory you created,
create a compressed (zipped) folder of CPUZ
upload the .zip file to the forums.

Run some memory related diagnostics:

If you are overclocking any hardware, please stop.

Run Display card memory tests to check the display card for memory problems.
Test the RAM with Memtest86+ for at least 7-10 passes. It may take up to 22 passes to find problems. Make sure to run it once after the system has been on for a few hours and is warm, and then also run it again when the system has been off for a few hours and is cold.

Test RAM With Memtest86+
Run Prime95 to test your CPU, RAM modules, and general hardware.

Thanks for taking a look!

I am not overclocking, so that couldn't be causing the problem. How long do you usually let memtest run? So far I let it run for about 2.5 hours and it didn't find anything yet.

All looks good so far. Memtest86+ should be run for at least 8 hours and/or preferably 10+ passes. It can take up to 22 passes to find errors.
