    @Pauly, Currently updated to the latest driver but I've clean installed, installed previous drivers and that hasn't worked. When I mean clean install I mean I actually went through the registry and my entire computer to make sure nothing was there, I've also reformatted 4 times with clean installs and previous versions.

    Before I was getting BSOD, my kernel mode drivers would fail and restart, then it stopped restarting and just started crashing

    Hmm bit late but I would have said something along the lines that Pauly had. Now trying to think a little left field here and as I am inclined to go through and eliminate things starting with what I think of as the basics I would like to see this down for starters. Now it might seem little odd testing the PSU but it is always my first port of call because it is very often overlooked as a potential cause of crashes BSOD's. That is because without it functioning properly nothing is going to work no matter what you try and work out - or throw at the machine LOL!!
    Seriously it is one thing that has to be eliminated from the list of stuff to be looked at as the drivers and tests that have already been done have not achieved much if anything and that in itself smacks of a hardware issue.

    Using HW Info

    PART A:

    You can test the volts onthe PSU with HW Info HWiNFO,HWiNFO32/64 - Download <download the right bit version and close the right hand window select Sensorsand scroll down to the power section where you will see what the volts aredoing see my pic. In my pic the section (Nuvoton)with VBATT is a dead give away you are in the section for the rail voltages.There are other section titles and one that pops up often is ITE

    Now the voltage on thedifferent rails have to be within 5% =+/- of what is required or the machinewill not work properly if at all.

    See this for the railvoltage info

    http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/power-supply-specifications-atx-reference,3061.html (Section 2.)

    The original right handwindow shows the machine running and is handy for that but for looking at thecomponents in some detail close it and use the main left hand side panel

    FOR OTHER COMPONENTS

    PART B:

    Open each small squarewith + in it on the section the components are in and then click on theindividual component/s (it willhighlight in blue) - in the right hand side will appear all sorts of detailsincluding brands speeds and other essential info that particular device. Seepic for example.
