Thank you to you both
Thank you to you both
still working through the various tasks, updating the video card driver certainly alleviated a majority of the BSOD's, some of the suggested fixes or checks have to be implemented overnights (Memtest86, checking the 2 terabyte HDD), I also want to jump onto some ASUS support forums and see if there is an optimal arrangement for connecting the SSd, HDD, and optical drives to the MoBo. There are 6 possible ports on the board, I'm wondering if there are some better than others. I also have to go buy new SATA cables to switch them out one by one.

I can help with the connections, have a look at the snip below. I would set them all to AHCI mode in BIOS.

DUDE YOU ARE A GOD
Thank you so much!
[edit] they are definitely not in those connections now, so I do hope it helps.
Whoa, I'm just a guy who tries to help.
The connection plan will help you get the best performance but may not effect the BSOD issue. While Buying SATA cables there have been tests done by, Maximum PC, PC World, and others who found they are all the same regarding performance, don't pay extra for some SuperCool Sata6GBs cables when a $3 one will work as well.
update: have not yet switched cables, but everything is running smoothly, no bsod's in 3 days of (almost) constant use
ok, I knew that posting that would result in a bsod, and of course I was right
we enabled Windows Search last night, just fyi-- otherwise all the suggested changes have been implemented
As per the data you uploaded, the last BSOD took place on 24th
Follow it: Dump Files - Configure Windows to Create on BSOD
Go to Option Two, Point 2. Download the .reg file and merge it in registry by double clicking it.
Now wait for another BSOD. When it occurred, search the .dmp files manually in the default path: C:\Windows\Minidump or %SystemRoot%\Minidump. See if the crash dump is recorded or not (hopefully it will be recorded).Post it following the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions.
