Multiple BSoD strings - Unable to pinpoint
I had read through the guide on how to post, so please don't be angry with the lack of following the guide. The downloaded Windows_NT6_BSOD file won't run on my computer under any compatibility settings either with or without Admin rights. So I've done the best I can to get you all the information needed. I also included a screen shot of the loading error for that .exe.

I have tried to narrow this down for a while now. I feel that my PSU and SSD are issues, both are too small for the job. The SSD caused issues when first installing windows, but the HDD won't accept a Win7 install under any circumstances.
I have tried to check the RAM to be sure that it was not an issue, and came out with no errors during my testing.
MY SSD is only Windows 7, everything else is run off of the 2TB HDD. I modified registry files to default to the HDD for installing software.
Have been contemplating a switch to a Crucial M4 64GB or 128GB SSD, and a Corsair TX750 PSU. If those are necessary upgrades, I'll order today.
If you need any other information I may be missing, I'll be glad to get it to you.
Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks
