I only upgraded to Windows 8 a couple of days ago from 7 but this blue screen problem has been going on since before then.
I'm not sure what causes these blue screens, seems completely random to me. I've posted my dumps and other important stuff in the attachment as requested.
I'm also having other crash issues, but I'm afraid that is a hardware issue. What happens is the screen will go to no display, like the DVI has been pulled out, and the computer seems to stop responding because a few seconds later the sound stops, or goes crazy (looping or making a horrible sound). Recently it started bringing up an all blue screen, often with horizontal stripes. And sometimes when booting, it gets up to were it asks to press delete to enter BIOS and it shuts down, then boots again. Sometimes that only happens once and others it will keep shutting down at that point many times before it finally gets past and boots. This also happens on my Linux OS though so I guess that rules out software, sadly.
My best guess is my new graphics card? I'll have to take it out and see.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.
