PC slowing down, freezing and crashing

Hi guys,

For a week now I've been having an issue with my PC, where after a period of normal usage it slows down, losing responsiveness, starts to freeze and eventually crashes. While this happens, I can still see stuff on the screen, I can move my mouse around but nothing really responds to my input. After a minute or two, the PC just crashes (I've only got 1 BSOD so far, see attached).

I've run memtest86+, no errors. SSD toolbox says the drive is healthy. I've also reinstalled Windows 8 on my boot SSD, but the problem persists. This makes me think it's hardware-related, but I don't really know what to do next.

Any help anyone could offer would be much appreciated.

I'm running the following build as per TSG SysInfo:
