Let us know how it goes. :)
If I may make a suggestion. Since you believe it to be a driver but don't know which one. Install programs and drivers slowly. If you install one at a time and it runs well, then add another, when you start getting BSODs, you will know which program is causing you the problem.
Good call.
An interesting development, by the way... I tried to boot not in safe mode as a kind of forlorn hope, and a bunch of prompts came up telling me that various asus programs had stopped working and needed to close (a result of my disabling startup programs perhaps?)... and no BSOD yet! I might be getting ahead of myself a little, but still.
edit:
I also can't uninstall it (AI suite) as the uninstaller "stopped working". Could I can get rid of it by just deleting it's files?
Revo Uninstaller
Download and install Revo Uninstaller free from here: Download Revo Uninstaller Freeware - Free and Full Download - Uninstall software, remove programs, solve uninstall problems
Opt for "Advanced Mode" and uninstall the software (also delete the leftover registry entries). If required, reinstall the latest version available from the mfg website or a good source like filehippo.com
But I would still do a clean install.
Uninstalled all that useless ASUS stuff with revo, and things seem okay for the time being.
I think I will hold off doing the clean install yet unless things go bad again, which knowing my luck they probably will in about ten seconds
I'm going to go ahead and mark this as solved, I think the ASUS software was to blame.
Thank you all for your help :)
