Constant BSOD, formatted and reinstalled windows, varying errors
I have been getting consistent BSOD over the last two weeks or so. I didn't notice anything that caused it in particular at first, but after it got more frequent I decided to format and reinstall my copy of Windows 7. Unfortunately, the BSOD came back even before I was able to install most of my drivers and has been more and more frequent recently. Sometimes I get it when idle, other times when I open youtube or spotify or adobe reader. Sometimes I get message 0x00000050 and sometimes 0x0000003b. There may have been other messages before that, but I did not know to record the codes.
I ran seagate tools and ran all of the hard drive diagnostics and it passed all of them. I also used windows memory diagnostic to check my RAM and it checked out. I am going to try to check my memory with memtest86 soon as well. I have tried disabling Norton Internet Security but it did not fix the problem, neither did scanning the computer for viruses.
Any support would be greatly appreciated, this is quite a frustrating thing to deal with on a regular basis.
*Edit: From reading other threads, I went ahead and preemptively uninstalled Catalyst Control Center (it is there in my zip file however).
