Taken from MS - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms854946.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396:

"UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP

Explanation:

This Stop message means that one of two types of problems occurred in kernel-mode, either the kind of condition that the kernel is not allowed to have or catch (a bound trap), or an unrecoverable error. Occasionally, this message can be caused by software problems, but the most common cause is hardware failure. It usually occurs after the installation of faulty or mismatched hardware (especially memory) or in the event that installed hardware fails. Setting the CPU to run at speeds above the rated specification (known as overclocking the CPU) can also cause this error."

have you installed new hardware at all recently?

If so, remove it and try again - if it is the GPU which is new, that may cause some issue (obviously).

Best of Luck!

Thanks for the input, I'm afraid the whole pc is brand new. I haven't overclocked it either, the only changes I've made was ensuring that my ram was using their XMP profiles. So diagnosing the issue could be a pain lol. This is the only BSOD I've experienced since using the PC.
