All right, I've got a new computer two weeks ago and I've already got myself two BSOD's. They happen at random, and not very frequently but they are worrying and annoying as hell.
The only thing I've added to my new computer is the Logitetch G710+ Keyboard.
I know this can also be caused by driver issues so I started with third party drivers. I uninstalled a Partition manager I had on my system, they seemed kinda of suspicious because every time I would boot into Windows I would hear a sound like something was unplugged and plugged back again. Once uninstalled the sound disappeared.

Information gathered by the SF Diagnostic Tool is attached.

Mhm, yes. Some drivers from unknown providers are on the list. A small research lead me to a program by Gigabyte called ON / OFF that makes use of applecharger.sys, since I don't use any Apple device I just uninstalled the program. Users reported it caused a bluescreen on shutdown. Happened to me on the first blue screen.

Where to next?

Just enable all drivers except for ones made Microsoft, Unknown and Macrovision.

By enabling all drivers you mean adding them to the list?

That correct. BTW : removing Gigabyte ON / OFF is definitely the right thing to do...it is indeed a common cause of BSOD's.

Alright, I just clicked finish and then restarted. The machine became unstable with random freezes and a drop in FPS during games but no bluescreen. So after adding them to the list I should just wait for a bluescreen to happen?
Hopefully it is the ON / OFF program though I didn't find anything about applecharge.sys in the minidump files.

Alright, I think I left the machine up for long enough. There were no bluescreens during that time. Can I understand from this the cause was ON / OFF? Even though there's no mention of it in the minidump files?

Its possible, but all the dmp's I've analysed where ON / OFF is involed, always report apple in the dmp analysis.

Just continue using the system as normal. If you get more crashes, upload the latest information.

All the .dmp files I uploaded? Could you upload the text for me to see? Thank you.
Also I just ran MemTest86 through the night, went through all four passes with no errors.

Sorry....I meant in all the other dmp's I've looked at, not yours specifically.

When running MemTest86+, run it for a minimum of 8 passes - any less, and it hasn't tested the RAM adequately.

Your installation is non-genuine
The Product Key in use is an ASUS OEM_SLP Key one - but the motherboard is a retail one.

Unless there is a COA sticker for Windows on the case of the machine, the ONLY thing you can do is purchase a new Full Retail license for whichever version of Windows you actually need.
