BSOD on fresh install - possibly driver related
I began having troubles with my computer about 2 months ago with BSODs relating to memory such as MEMORY_MANAGEMENT, DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, BUGCODE_USB_DRIVER, SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION, and PFN_LIST_CORRUPT, primarily when I'm playing video games like Skyrim and League of Legends. I cleaned out the dust in my system and reseated the RAM and checked my cables. My computer ran fine for 1.5 months. About two weeks ago, BSODs resurfaced. When BSODs occur, I am unable to restart my computer for ~15 minutes. The fan and lights would turn on, but my screen would remain black.
I decided to reinstall Windows completely. I ran several stress tests such as prime95 and checked my memory with memtest86+. No errors occurred. I also ran chkdsk and didn't find anything significant. My temperature is quite low so I do not believe it is a factor with overheating. I tried to run driver verifier, but once I turned it on, I was unable to boot to Windows and had to restore to an earlier point.
