Yeah, you have an OEM install on a retail motherboard, that can only be done using a hack or crack to bypass activation.
Due to site rules we can no longer offer help until you get a legal and valid installation.
I would definitely get in touch with them and demand a valid OS and product key, or your money back.
Your problems you are having can very well be related to the alterations made to the OS.
Hi, sorry I haven't replied in so long, but I managed to get myself a proper version of Windows 8.
I reformatted and everything a few months ago and everything was running perfectly fine up until last week, when I installed Daemon Tools. The BSOD's have returned and I've tried everything in my power to delete anything and undo anything related to Daemon Tools. Is there anything else I can do?
No problem, let's see what kind of info we can get from this,

Just installed the link and this is the file it made.
This driver for your network adapter seems to be the cause,

You mentioned Daemon tools, you can run this to be sure you have removed it,
Daemon Tools, Alcohol 120% and Power Archiver Pro uses SCSI Pass Through Direct (SPTD), which is a well known cause of BSOD's.
1. Uninstall Daemon Tools.
2. Download the SPTD standalone installer and follow these steps:
- Double click the executable to open it
- Click the button shown below
If the button it is grayed out, as shown in the image, there is no more SPTD installation on your system, and you can just close the window.
I didn't see the problem driver related to it listed anywhere though.
I also notice you have no updates installed, that needs to be taken care of, keep running windows update until it doesn't offer any more important and recommended updates.
I downloaded the newest version and made sure to get rid of the SPTD, and everything was working fine for about a week, and about half an hour ago I launched Planetside 2, it was running fine and then suddenly another BSOD out of nowhere. Another System_Exception_Error.
Still getting the BSODs if anyone was wondering. The most recent one was INTERNAL_MEMORY_MANAGEMENT, help would be appreciated.
I also read somewhere that it could be faulty ram, how would I figure out if this was the case?
You still need to provide the info if you want help with it,

If you want to test your RAM, this will help,
InformationMemTest86+
Run a minimum of 8 passes, preferably overnight, or until errors occur using MemTest86+.
Use this tutorial to help you use MemTest86+:
RAM - Test with MemTest86+
Managed to get the file, but haven't had the time to run the MemTest, I'll try and get around to it tonight.
The bluescreens seems to be picking up the rate at when they happen, I had a period where I didn't get them but due to releases of bigger games, it seems they are causing them to happen more frequently, hence why I suspected it to be the RAM.
