Due to the nature of this problem, It will be a while until I know how it went. That said, I intend to report back with any updates whenever the problem either returns  or shows no sign of coming back after a long enough period of time.

Thank you for your help.

Hello

You are welcome.

I just had another system crash. This time, I was using the computer, and the screen went completely black for a few seconds (without the power light on the case going completely out), then the computer booted back up.

This time, I had the maximum processor usage set to 99% in Windows Power Options, causing my CPU to only use up to 3.0 Ghz at maximum, which was preventing an overheating problem I was having before (when my processor goes into AMD's Turbo mode, my CPU can get over 70 degrees Celcius). By setting the Windows Power Options setting to 99%, I preventing my CPU from going into Turbo mode, and it stayed in the 40s and lower 50s Celcius thereafter, including the time of this latest crash. For this reason, I don't think that CPU overheating is a possible cause this time around (although it may have been in the first two crashes).

Here's the BlueScreenView info:

UPDATE: I've uninstalled Bitdefender to see if that might help.

I've also ordered some thermal paste to replace the current paste on the CPU, although, as I said, I doubt that overheating could have caused the most recent crash.
