    Ok axe I have run it on some of my own SSD's but as you say the results were not something that I really understood - just thought it might be a try here.
    I am more interested in knowing if Bizarre has tried the Magician yet.

    Edit meant to add this link My Solid State Drive may be defective, how can I test it?

    sorry again guys for forgetting about the thread again, i sort of gave up...
    something came up that actually might be a bit helpful. i was looking through the 'action centre' history that comes up after every bsod and i noticed that more than half of the logs were not 'unexpexted shutdowns', but some sort of video hardware error. (see http://puu.sh/o6LHC/72724dd2fa.png ) i have been keeping a close eye on the graphics driver updates of my pc since i built it, which is when it started getting screens, and updated the driver frequently. is there any way that i could test my graphics card without relying on its driver?

    The best way to test a GPU is to use a different GPU, software tests aren't 100% reliable.
    However one test a lot find pretty reliable is Furmark.



    Diagnostic test

     GPU TEST


    Run Furmark to test your GPU. Furmark tutorial

       Note
    Run Furmark for around 30 minutes


       Warning
    Your GPU temperatures will rise quickly while Furmark is running. Keep a keen eye on them and abort the test if temperatures rise too high

    i've just run the furmark stress test for 25 mins and had no trouble there. i currently don't have another gpu spare so i can't test it that way for now. are there any other suggestions that could be the issue here? i've attached an updated list of bsods.

    0xF4 and 0x7A point to the hard drive.
    Have you recently done any tests?

    i just launched seatools and did the smart test like your link suggested (sorry if i misinterpreted)
    the ssds seemed to pass the smart tests fine and quite quickly, i have tested the hard drive before, but i think i posted pictures of those tests earlier in the thread. however i'm not sure i need to test the hard drive as i was getting screens before i installed it.

    From post 30
    SeaTools doesn't support SSD's, one can run it on SSD's but the data may be very untrustful
    You need the software from Samsung for trust worthy results.
