I think this was the screenshot he was referring to. . That was the official Nvidia driver downloaded from their website. I tried doing what you suggested "Automatically deliver drivers via Windows Update (Step 3)". But my Windows update hasn't picked up a missing graphics driver. I removed the driver using "Programs and Features". Then went into DXDIAG > Graphics. It still shows my GTX 970. Have I not completely removed it? I still have NVIDIA Geforece experience and it did pick up the missing driver and requested to update, but I can't complete the update because the installer would always crash.

Did you install all other Important and Optional Updates because there can be Performance Updates that apply to this problem that are queued either place. This is why it's always good to install all Updates offered except Bingware.
Okay, I'll try downloading the drivers again. However, I'm not sure if that's the problem as I've tried manually downloading the drivers and updating through Geforce Experience. But I'll try downloading it through a different computer.
Yes, there are no Optional and Important updates queued. How do I request that Windows Update look for more updates?
Tick all boxes at Control Panel>Windows Update>Change Settings.
Hi, can you please post a screen of CPU-Z "mainboard" tab? Are you using the latest BIOS?
GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket 1150 - GA-Z97X-SLI (rev. 1.1)
Okay, I'll do that once I get home!
I'll post a screen once I get home. I believe I got my drivers from this website GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket 1150 - GA-Z97X-SLI (rev. 1.0) . Do you think that one you provided was newer?
well looks like they have two different boards rev 1.0 and 1.1 (CPU-Z will show which one you have) both have had BIOS F6 released to "Improve Intel K-sku CPU performance" which might be why your CPU running HOT/working hard when it is not under heavy load (if you have BIOS F5 - CPU is not supported by F3&4)
Some further progress today:
Slot# 1 empty
Slot# 3 empty
Slot# 2 empty
Slot# 4 RAM A
4 passes - 5 errors
Slot# 1 empty
Slot# 3 empty
Slot# 2 empty
Slot# 4 RAM B
4 passes - no errors
Slot# 1 empty
Slot# 3 empty
Slot# 2 RAM B
Slot# 4 empty
4 passes - no errors
Slot# 1 empty
Slot# 3 RAM B
Slot# 2 empty
Slot# 4 empty
4 passes - no errors
Slot# 1 RAM B
Slot# 3 empty
Slot# 2 empty
Slot# 4 empty
8 passes - no errors
Slot# 1 RAM A
Slot# 3 empty
Slot# 2 empty
Slot# 4 empty
8 passes - 0 errors
So, even the supposedly "bad" ram came out with 0 errors this time. I think I might run it on slot 4 again to see if any errors come up? What do you guys think?
Also and more importantly, I think I have just confirmed that this isn't a software issue. Running a fresh install of Windows 8 also caused a crash to Internet Explorer.. I was hoping this would be a software issue.. but oh well..
