apologies for butting in,
When your finished here please post in the windows update/activation section
You have more problems that need to be sorted
SFC errors/update probs, which might be fixed by Axe0

On a further note you appear to have had BSOD's for a number of years

I have had BSODs every now and then. Sometimes it's only a couple each time, sometimes it's bad like this. I am hoping that once my new board is installed I won't have to purchase a new Windows 7 Ultimate x64 product key...

EDIT: Also I have ran sfc /scannow and it says that nothing is in violation of integrity. I am currently downloading the Radeon Crimson 15.12 drivers (the ones I had before updating to the latest ones) to try and roll back. We'll see if my display crashes continue.

It is retail I believe. It's certainly not OEM or MSDN.

Please remove ASUS software, you have quite some problem reports from GPU Tweak II.

I can't remove that otherwise my graphics card fan won't gradually increase when it gets hotter. I have to have a custom profile set for the fan. When the heat gets to 50'C the fans start spinning at a higher rate like 60%. If I remove the GPU Tweak II software then the GPU won't cool itself properly. It'll just remain on a slower fan speed and the temperature will increase drastically.

Could you then try to reinstall the software please.

I am about to follow the Windows 7 Installation - Transfer to a New Computer tutorial by Kari to install my new motherboard. I will update you after it's all done. :)

Alright, I'm very curious how your system will behave :)

Me too. I just tried method 1 in the tutorial and I'm having an error.

I'm interested as to see how different the BIOS is. I've never had a board with UEFI support before.
