New PC Set up - Having issues - Blue screen crash

Heya Guys,
I have just had a new build pc,
Case Antec 900 Nine Hundred Ultimate Black Tower
PSU Corsair Gaming Series GS 600 CMPSU-600G UK 600W
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H Intel Z77 Socket 1155 Ivybridge Ready
Memory Corsair Memory Vengeance Black 4GB DDR3 1600 MHz CAS 9
HDD Seagate 500Gb 3.5" Barracuda Hard Drive 7200rpm 16MB CacheI was having some issues with the screen freezing, complete crash. It was strange as I could play games for hours without it crashing but if I left it on the windows screen it would just freeze, would often crash during start up too.
I tried changing a BIOS setting abd then reset to defaults, now I get a blue screen crash when I try to start up. It says something along the lines of
collection data for crash dump initializing disk for crash dump
beging dump of physical memory
dumping physical memory to disk 100The error comes up very fast so is hard to read. I can reboot in SAFE mode and it doesnt seem to crash, it sometimes lasts about a minute in normal windows before it crashes.
I used system restore to roll it back to before this error, still happens. I tried a Clean Boot with only microsoft programes for a restart and it happenned again. I then changed it back to normal boot.
It would be great to have an idea of what I should be doing.
Thanks!
Rab

Set of test utilities for DIY computer builders:
Note: If you are OverClocking or use any automatic overclocking or power saving BIOS features, start out by disabling them: Intel EIST, Turbo Mode, Cool and Quite and drop back to the stock speed as a starting point.
Disconnect any other (additional) internal hard drives and external USB devices.
Check for any loose hard drive power or SATA cables, Graphics card or other power cables.First run Memtest86+:
This runs from a boot disk or CD and should eliminate or confirm if your one or more of your memory
sticks are bad or the SPD values in the BIOS are correct.
Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or more hours (at least 3 full passes), if no errors by then your ram is OK.

Test your drive - Create a Bootable CD:
Anywhere from 5 to 20%, (depending on the manufacture) of new hard drives are defective.
Test your drive using the drive manufacture's utility.
If you have a new Seagate hard drive the very next thing would be to download Seagate's Seatools
(the bootable CD) and check for bad sectors:

After Windows is installed:Device Drivers: Did you install the motherboard manufacture's latest device drivers?
Check their support site for the latest drivers as the CD that came with the computer
or motherboard may be older and less stable drivers.Check the Graphics card manufacture's download site:
Download and install the most recent Windows 7 or 8 drivers for your card.

NVIDIA: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index5.aspx?lang=en-usAlso check out Nvidia's "Box of Smoke" test or other Demos: http://www.nvidia.com/object/cool_stuff.html#/demos

It's a stand alone .exe file contained in a .zip archive.
Just choose to run the "stress test" option for 8 hours or more.
If your PC can pass this test both your memory and CPU
are fine (close the case cover to maintain proper ventilation)Core Temp:
Monitor the temperature of each core of your processor.
Note: For non overclockers using the stock Intel/AMD heatsink and cooling fan you can expect
a temperature range of 35 to 40C at idle and from 60C to 65C max when running Prime95.

(when using Intel's EIST speed step technology).
Note #1:
CPU-ID has two tabs - 'Memory' tab which show the actual memory speed
and the 'SPD' tab shows the rated speeds for each memory slot that is populated.
Note #2:
Compair the two values, the actual memory speed should not exceed the rated speed of your memory.CPUID HWMonitor: A hardware monitoring program that reads PC systems main health sensors.

Tighten the RAMs and the hard disk cables and all the power cables inside the system. And update to the latest drivers. If required, reinstall a fresh copy of Windows again and then download the latest drivers and install them afresh. Also update your motherboard BIOS.- Yanıt Olarak İşaretleyen Arthur XieMicrosoft Contingent Staff, Moderator 07 Haziran 2012 Perşembe 08:42
