Hello again!

If corsair gave you those recommendations, maybe your issues are fixed, who knows. Let verifier be turned off as it does more harm than good right now. Computers may be a bit sluggish and slow after those BSOD nightmares, rule number one is just to use it. It works like a human sickness. Imagine you've been ill, and then turn fresh again. It's not many cases that you're completely fresh afterwards.
Windows will place sectors in order, sort of like an automatic defrag -- that'd make your computer faster over time. Just use your computer as you're used to, without doing demanding things such as hardcore gaming.

Crossed fingers is a common expression, I certainly has mine crossed. BTW Corsair is probably one of the best communities of support, they'd gladly aid your system as it has been proven earlier.

Good job mate!
Frederik.

BSOD ANALYSE

DRIVER_VERIFIER_VIOLATION

Code:

_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION (c4)
A device driver attempting to corrupt the system has been caught.  This is
because the driver was specified in the registry as being suspect (by the
administrator) and the kernel has enabled substantial checking of this driver.
If the driver attempts to corrupt the system, bugchecks 0xC4, 0xC1 and 0xA will
be among the most commonly seen crashes.
Arguments:
Arg1: 00000000000000f6, Referencing user handle as KernelMode.
Arg2: 0000000000000118, Handle value being referenced.
Arg3: fffffa8010c84060, Address of the current process.
Arg4: fffff88004f6f766, Address inside the driver that is performing the incorrect reference.

AsUpIO.sys caused. Uninstall ASUS hardware monitoring software.

Best Regards,

Great! Here's a little side-note on removing drivers. In this case it's sptd.sys but it's just the general idea of it.

Safely Remove Drivers:
To remove this safely, please do the following:
- ensure that you have a bootable DVD to use to get into Startup Repair (the Win8 installation DVD will do). If you don't have one, then use this procedure to create a System Repair disk: System Repair Disc - Create in Windows 8
- set a System Restore point (to use with the System Repair disk if you can't get back into Windows).

- download this free program: Autoruns for Windows Use it to disable any entries that has the name, Sptd, or in general Daemon Tools (by removing the checkmark in the far left column)
- check for any services related to this driver and/or program (use services.msc) and disable them
- check in Device Manager (use devmgmt.msc) for any devices related to this driver and/or program. Make sure to enable the viewing of hidden devices. Uninstall any that you find. DO NOT rescan or reboot yet!
- search your system for the sptd.sys driver and rename it to sptd.BAD

Then reboot and see if it's removed.

Best Regards,
Frederik.

Disable verifier.
