Vry Strange BSOD - No reason - No Minidump - Please help, desparate :(

Some of your remaining problems are related to bios and drivers.

This is for you to have a solid system. If you would rather not, then I'll quit right now.

there are several possible sources of your remaining problems.

the most important to be corrected is: update bios, update drivers (with ones from Gigabyte site).

After the bios update, I'll go thru the driver updates that need to be applied.

Without those updates, you will simply beating your head against the wall to fix your remaining problems, and yes, they are problems not minor quirks.

Here you are (You owe me another bier.)
