After Effects CC crashes PC (BSOD) using Gradient Ramp effect

Question

I've done it three times now to make sure, but whenever I make a solid layer and add the gradient ramp effect, and then change the color, it gives me a BSOD. I've had some BSOD issues while using AE for various reasons, and I've gone through solutions considering disk cache, Open GL rendering, multi-core processing, etc. I'm pretty sure I need to replace a piece of hardware, as each BSOD is indicating such, but I've had a hard time determining which. I should note that going to the color palette for something like text doesn't give this issue. So far it's been for the solid layer and gradient ramp. Note that I've also used other plugins, such as Element 3D and Keylight and such without a problem.
I recently signed up for CC so I haven't yet uninstalled CS6, and I'm doing that as I write this.
My computer is running 64-bit Windows 7, has updated drivers for PSU, ram tested healthy, GPU driver updated, and more. My RAM is 16 GB DDR3 1666 GHz, Processor is AMD Six-Core Phenom 2, GPU is Geforce 470 GTX, and I'm running standard 7200 rpm disk drives. I have intentions to update all of the hardware over time, so I'm wondering if maybe a switch to Intel or an updated GPU might be helpful.
Thanks!
Katie
