Edit: New SSD finally solved my problem.

Sorry for all the text and thanks for reading in advance.

BSODs are random, it can be just browsing chrome or in the middle of a game. I've attached my most recent dumps. Strange things that my computer does that are worth noting is random extensions crash on chrome, and sometimes chrome just closes at a random time and won't open back up until I restart my computer. Some games(overwatch is the most consistent in crashing but it's still random) randomly crash so I thought it might have been my video card, but I run Unigine perfectly fine with alright temperatures in the max settings. Also when chrome crashes sometimes when I go to restart my computer that's when I'll get a bluescreen. Just before I started writing this my chrome closed so I had to restart and got the damn BSOD. Sometimes I will go to restart or shutdown and it just gets stuck on shutting down.

It's like sometimes I am certain that is has to be a driver, other times I am not sure at all, and then something else a little different will happen and then I'm certain it's hardware. I can't pin it down at all.

I'm on my 3rd set of ram, chkdsk and memtest both come back with zero problems. I want to list everything I've done but to be honest over the course of half a year, I can't even remember half of the things.

Reinstalled Windows 10+ times, used DDU in safe mode (cant load safe mode anymore) to remove AMD drivers and reinstalled the latest, around 10-15 times. Bought a new and more powerful power supply Analyzed countless BSOD dumps myself and they all point back to driver/ram/video card/a million other possibilities. Reseated the video card multiple times. Temperatures are all fine. I promise I have tried everything on the first page of every google result involving my BSODs, and every time I go to a new place for help, they have nothing new to add, it's always the same crap.

I haven't tried a new video card because I can't afford anything, I've spent over $200 trying to fix the comp and it's all been wasted because nothing has changed at all. I haven't bought a new SSD because I didn't think there would be any problems with it but it looks like the SSD is next on the chopping block. I do have just enough money to get a new SSD as long as its around $120 or less, so that was going to be

You are running an ASUS Product ID (PID) on a Gigabyte board.
This makes your installation counterfeit.
Troubleshooting a counterfeit installation is useless as it is not known what has been modified to your system.
A counterfeit installation contains heavily modified code which causes the system to behave in unexpected ways.
For this reason, analyzing counterfeit systems is unreliable and most analysts won't try it.

OS Configuration:          Standalone Workstation
OS Build Type:             Multiprocessor Free

I recommend to install a genuine copy of Windows.
If, after you have installed a genuine copy of Windows, you still get BSOD's we'll be happy to assist you.

You're right, it was a counterfeit copy. I bought a new SSD and installed a legitimate copy of Win7 and haven't had problems since. I still have small problems but nothing like the BSODs I was getting. Thanks for looking at it though.
