    I am currently booted on one ram stick to see if I get any blue screens. The driver verifier thing, how can it help me if I already got frequent bsods?

    It will determine the faulting drivers... but how much you will cooperate is on you.

    If it is being caused by a driver, no RAM change can solve the issue.

    Have you taken the memtest yet? So that you are deciding that it is being caused by the RAM?

    I'll do the driver verifier thing. How will I know what driver is bad if it finds any bad drivers?

    Applying driver verifier, use the computer normally. It will crash in many operations. From those crash dumps, the faulting drivers will be found out.

    Driver Verifier is disabled now. I got a blue screen as soon as I logged in to Windows, and I let it reboot three times and got three blue screens, all relating to gdrv.sys, which I heard is a part of Dynamic Energy Saving Advanced by gigabyte?

    I uninstalled all gigabyte crapware and removed gdrv.sys from C:\Windows

    I still won't keep my hopes up, though.

    Continue with DV, it may produce some more things.

    And, well done on removing Gigabyte bloatware.

    This. Is. Weird!

    I ran memtest over night for 7 passes (both sticks) and it picked up no errors. I ran 6 blended torture tests with Prime95, stable as a damn rock.

    What else could cause my bsods?
