Thank you! I uninstalled MagicDisc. mcdbus.sys no longer shows up in the Driver Verifier installed drivers list and I reset driver verifier to defaults. How were you able to generate that text file and find the culprit?
I guess now I just have to wait and see if it crashes again. I'll mark this issue as solved if the system remains stable within the next few days. Do you reccomend a good and stable anti-virus software to replace CA?
I left my computer idle for a few hours, and when I came back, the monitor was on standby and the computer wouldn't respond. It wasn't asleep because I could hear the fans running full blast. I turned it off and back on and the monitor remained black, despite the computer turning on. I did this several times but it was still a black screen.
I swapped video cards with the newer NVidia one (the one that was buzzing). It started up. I removed all the ATI drivers and software from the old video card. I restarted and I was about to install the Nvidia drivers when I got another BSOD.

I restarted, logged back in, and ran the NT6 BSOD report when I got another BSOD.
SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
BCCode: 3B
This one does not show up in the maintence history.
I couldn't restart the computer after this. Just like before the screen remained black, as if there was something wrong with this video card as well, yet I could hear the fans so I knew the computer was on. I reset several times to no avail. I waited about 10 minutes, and turned it on again. It worked this time. I had an IE crash while attempting to report the problem again.

So it looks as though the problem has not yet been solved. Any ideas?
The computer has been running hot lately so I bought some compressed air and cleaned out any dust in my fans. There really wasn't any dust there since everything is new (event he cpu was dust free), but I thought I'd see if it helped. I had another BSOD after leaving the computer idle. This one was:

Again the fans were running full blast when the blue screen was up. I suspect that the computer's been overheating. I took out the video card and capture card. They were both very hot. I'm running off of just the motherboard's video card. It sounds a lot quieter now.
This computer didn't come with a chassis fan. It has the fan for the cpu and the psu, but no other fans (unless I use one of my video cards). Is it possible to get liquid cooling for this case? Or would a basic chassis fan be enough.
Things were running okay for a few hours so I decided to put the video card that came with the computer back in. It ran fine for a few hours but then I got anoter 1e BSOD. Thinking it was overheating I bought a chassis fan and put it in. Then I started getting 26 BSODs. It got so bad that I had to run the computer in safe mode to ensure that I had time to run the BSOD report before it crashed again.
I think it's time for a last resort. I'm going to take out all hardware that didn't come with teh computer and just run on the what the computer came with (aside from the monitor and speakers). I'll do a factory reset and see if I get any BSODs. I have tried this before, and have got BSODs, but that was after installing the CA antivirus (which I know caused problems thanks to driver verifier). I'll do it this time without installing CA.
Performed a factory reset. While it was installing the drivers (the recovery discs do this before you can start windows), windows shut down unexpectadly. No BSOD. It restarted and seemed to work okay, but after I uninstalled the anti-virus software that came with this computer to install microsoft security essentials, it asked to reboot, I clicked reboot and got a BSOD with BCCode 116. Any idea what this means?
I contacted Asus support and he said he had a fix for the issue. Asus support reccomended I update the video drivers. Though I have tried, this, I haven't done since the factory reset so I followed the instructions. On their site they have 2 vga drivers.

He told me to install the newer one (v8.8), but the link was dead, so I installed the older one. It installed successfully, and the strange thing is, the video card names changed in my device manager. There used to be 2 ATI drivers under display, ATI Radeon 3000 (the motherboard video card), and ATI Radeon HD 5476 (I don't remember the exact number). But after installing the driver, it now says AMD 760G and ATI Radeon 5400 series. I thought this fixed the issue until it started crashing again.
I'm going to try and call them again and see if there's another way to get the newer driver. If not, I'll take out the 5400 series card and see if it still crashes. I doubt it's the card since I tried two other video cards in the pci slot and it was still crashing. Still, it might be the PCI slot, I'm not sure if it ever crashed when there was no card in the slot. Would memtest86 find errors with a pci-e video card slot? I ran 10 passes and it found no errors.

I managed to find a v8.8 on a third party site. I installed it, but still had issues. It also turns out that I can't install any more critical updates (namely sp1 and ie 9) because I keep getting error 800B0100. The Microsoft steps to resolve this issue involve installing Windows6.1-KB947821-v12-x64. I tried this and it failed, but after restarting it installed, but I still was getting the same error message when I tried to install Windows updates. A bit of research and I found that turning off .NET in programs and features resolves this issue. I tried that, but there is nothing appearing in my "turn off programs and features" window.
I took out the video card again, and am now using the motherboard AMD 70G display as it's the only one appearing in the display adapters list under device manager. After restarting I tried to install the updates again, but they failed. Then I tried installing Windows6.1-KB947821-v12-x64 and I got another BSOD, this time with BCCode 24.
I'm going to try and reset the computer to factory settings again, this time with only the one video card installed. I want to see if it installs correctly and if I can load updates. Then I will follow the rest of your steps and see what happens.

Getting BSODs while trying to perform the recovery. The first was an IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR EQUAL with BCCode D1. I got this again on the second try. I then tried doing the recovery from my CDs. I got a different blue screen. This one saying. BAD_POOL_HEADER BCCode x19. I put the video card that came with the computer back in and tried the recovery again from the image backup. I got a bad image error (see pic below). So now I'm trying it again from the discs. So far so good. Wish me luck.
