m91xx.sys BSOD

I've been constantly getting blue screens which always say the same thing: INTERRUPT_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED and further down it says m91xx.sys.

The thing is I'm using the same computer right now to type this post and I'm not in safe mode. I will describe the behavior but first I will tell you what hardware changes I have made.

Today I bought a 3TB SATAIII HDD. The name in device manager is ST3000DM001-1CH166. Pretty sure it's Seagate...
In order to install it I had to plug it in myself and the cable management in my computer is non-existent. There were cables absolutely everywhere, all tangled up all over the place. Took me half an hour to get the thing plugged in and also make sure the other HDDs were still plugged in.

So I am using a 120GB OCZ solid state for my operating system (Windows 7) and I also already had 2x500GB HDDs for storage. So once I added this one first I couldn't get the computer to work properly because I had no signal to the monitor.

Fiddled around with the cords inside made sure everything was plugged in, etc, fast forward another half an hour and I had windows starting up. First time it started up, I got that blue screen. I turned it off and went to google the error. I tried the chksdk thing via windows 7 disk setup. It reported no errors.

I also tried sfc/scannow but it keeps saying there is a repair pending and it needs to restart. So I try to restart and it says the same thing.

Anyway somehow I had it in windows and it was working fine for over an hour. I was copying stuff onto the new HDD (not cutting, in fear of another BSOD). Went away for a bit came back, it's still good, so I was watching youtube for a bit.

At one point I realized my steam sounds weren't working (this is a separate issue that I know how to fix, I simply had to restart it after plugging in my speakers). I restarted Steam and BAM, blue screen again.

I have copied what Windows gave me when I started up again:

I will try to attach the 2 files, the .xml is too long to print and the .dmp I don't know how to open.

Ok, attached them both in a .zip file, I hope it worked. I've included as much detail as I can, I am pretty sure this has something to do with adding this new HDD, but like I said the fact that I'm posting this on the problem computer even though sometimes it just crashes as soon as I log in, is strange.
