I'm a little stumped by this. Twice in a week's time thereabouts I've had this with BSOD code 1a hit me.

This.
The first time happened in a videogame. The second time was today while browsing the Internet.
Long/short: I made sure all software up to date, cleaned up, etc. and then I fired up Windows Memory Diagnostic and it came away clean. After that, I fired up memtest and ran that thing for 90 minutes and it came away clean all the way.
If it isn't memory, what else could do this? Bad drivers? VRAM? Odd combination of things?
What else should I try and do, if anything? Nothing seems amiss anywhere until this happens.
My BIOS is fairly current.
I do see in Windows Update in the optional section a small update from Intel. Intel system driver update.
Should I install that and, if so, is it ok to do through it Windows Update or should I do it some other way? If that's even a factor towards this.
System specs: (modest overclocks)
OS: Windows 64 Pro
Intel i7 4770k
Asus Maximus VI Gene
Corsair Vengeance XMS3 DDR3 1600 32GB
EVGA GTX 980TI SC ACX 2.0
Samsung 840Pro 512
Western Digital Black Caviar 2TB
Creative® Soundblaster Z PCI-E
