Well I'm not sure what to say. Since I stopped using ctrl+alt+del to password lock the computer, it stopped throwing BSOD errors and everything else is normal.

I can't say this is solved unless you have suggestions on how to rule things out. I do appreciate your input though. Thanks.
The next time I format and reinstall I'll use a different drive, but as long as the BSODs have stopped, that won't happen for a while.
