[SOLVED] BSOD (124) When logging in to Steam.

[Difi]

Blue screen code 124. PC is 4 years old.

OC: Windows 7 Home Premium x64 SP1
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H
GFX: GIGABYTE NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K CPU @ 3.40GHz
RAM: KINGSTON HyperX 8GB RAMKit 2x4GB DDR3 1600 MHz
HDD/SSD: SEAGATE ST1000DM003 1TB, SATA 6Gb/s / 250 MB Samsung 750 EVO SSD (1 Yr old)
Two dumps of it from BlueScreenView Here[pastebin.com]

Started happening after recent Windows .Net framework update. Blue screens right after the authenticator consistently, Reinstalling steam helped a few times but now it doesn't.
BSOD Appears ONLY when I log in to Steam.

Tried: Uninstalling Daemon tools, Updating GFX drivers (To 384.80), Installing Steam on HDD/SSD, Either one didn't help. Enabling RAPID Mode on SSD.

I am kind of afraid to continue working on my own since I am not good in hardware.

UPD: Solved by deleting a few windows updates

Can be caused by unstable drivers or overheating hardware.

Blue screens even after a minute after restarting, And my PC stays around 36*C nearly all the time, So it's most likely not overheating. Don't know which drivers to look at though.

Are you overclocking anything?

Visit this, and go through it, as this may help fix your issues.

Nope, I am not overclocking anything and I will try in a few hours when I am home. Thanks for the reply.

Wipe out all Drivers and redo them with the very latest.
Motherboard Chipset, GPU, Audio, LAN, etc...
Get rid of your anti-virus or get one that will function properly along side Steam; MANY AV will not get along with Game Clients. To be honest, all you really need is common sense, and maybe something decent like Malwarebytes 3.x Premium

If you are using NVIDIA GPU Driver 384.76, that one IS buggy, and there is a "hotfix" update for that driver > http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/geforce-384-80-driver-download.html

Use Samsung Magician and ensure your SSD firmware is updated, and ensure RAPID Mode is enabled.

Updated NVIDIA driver to the latest one (The one you provided), SSD is fully up to date and enabled RAPID Mode, But the issue still persists. So strange that this issue started occuring out of nowhere. BlueScreenView states that the driver that causes the blue screens is ntoskrnl.exe+4acfac

ntoskrnl.exe is to do with windows kernel which runs the drivers that 'speak' to your hardware, you will need to check the drivers for your motherboard as well as all other hardware like Bad_Motha sugested.
If that doesnt fix it then its most likely hardware related issue most likely with your RAM.
If you have multiple sticks of RAM you can take all but one out and test each one to check which is faulty

Okay, Will do that, Thanks for leading me and I will report if I will fix the issue or not.

Games and Benchmarks rely on dot-NET Framework and Visual C++ Runtimes; if either of these have issues, it can cause you issues with anything that uses them.

Go into Programs and Files, find the entries for these two (there will be alot listed) and do a Uninstall > but select Repair afterwards; on each one.

Once finished doing that, reboot the system and then re-test.

Set Steam.exe in NVIDIA Control Panel to be on Adaptive for Power Management, otherwise just launching Steam Client will use and push your GPU for zero reasons.

Deleting a few updates fixed it!

Though on start up a few errors from a couple of other programs occured but that's a tiny problem, Thanks a lot!
