Multiple Different BSODs Custom PC

Alright this is interesting. I did the system restore, got my internet back, had to redo my graphics clean install. I used the guide here (How to: Remove Your NVIDIA GPU Drivers.) to do the freshest install possible. Finished it, restarted computer, was installing the 337.50 beta driver that I downloaded off of NVIDIA's website...
Then my screen went black like it normally would during a graphics driver install since I moved the HDMI from my GPU to my mobo's HDMI plug. So I plugged the HDMI back into my GPU and noticed it was booting up for some reason. It blue screened during the install I think, or immediately after it finished.

I'm not sure what to make of this, should I clean out my PC again and do another fresh install in case of corruption? Or leave it? It seems to be working fine as of this moment, yet I haven't tested playing and games or videos.

Another one while on Youtube. It says my graphics driver, it is also a BETA driver so that MAY have something to do with it.

You are having graphics display crashes.
Please refrain from using BETA drivers while bugchecks keep appearing.
Use the latest WHQL driver that is "Recommended/certified".

Every single time I install a new or older version of NVIDIA drivers, it always pops up at my notifications at the bottom right that the Kernel Mode Driver has stopped responding and successfully recovered. Is this normal? Just wondering because its the same Kernel Mode Driver that is causing some of my BSODs.
This always happens DURING the install too.

No it isn't normal at all.
I think something is conflicting with your GPU drivers.

Can you post a screenshot of your programs installed on the control panel?

Sure thing.
GS.Support is malware, it was already removed, just when I try to take the icon out of Control Panel, it errors.

The only thing I can see that I'd recommend removing is the Driver Agent by Esupport.com
The rest look fine.

Now we've already tested hardware by using Furmark and it ran fine correct? (Around 30 minutes).

If you have any more dump files please upload them, if not can we try driver verifier again.
It shouldn't hurt.

I've ran Furmark twice, both for 30 minutes.
If I enable Verifier again, would you recommend only testing GPU related software? Or just run it as usual?
I will also remove said program.

I found these DMP files located under Computer/Local Disk(C:)/Users/Justin/AppData/Local/CrashDumps
There's 3 in there, I'll post them in case there is an relevance, they are also older files back a few weeks after I built my PC.

No those dump files aren't much use because they're old.

Can you just upload dump files that are created from driver verifier.
Just run it as usual.

Got a brand new BSOD that I've never seen before. Got it while I was watching a series, full-screened, in Google Chrome. Verifier was running at the time it BSOD, I will continue to keep it running.

The bugcheck you have indicates special pool corruption which has been caused by the special pool option from Driver Verifier.

Code:
*******************************************************************************
*                                                                             *

*******************************************************************************

SPECIAL_POOL_DETECTED_MEMORY_CORRUPTION (c1)
Special pool has detected memory corruption.  Typically the current thread's
stack backtrace will reveal the guilty party.
Arguments:
Arg1: [COLOR="SeaGreen"]fffff98052b02ee0[/COLOR], address trying to free
Arg2: fffff98052b0227e, address where one bit is corrupted
Arg3: 0000000000330118, (reserved)
Arg4: 0000000000000032, caller is freeing an address where nearby bytes within the same page have a single bit error

Parameter 1 is the one we're most interested in as this indicates the address was trying to be freed.

Code:
Pool page fffff98052b02ee0 region is Unknown
GetUlongFromAddress: unable to read from fffff80003873a38
fffff98052b02000 is not a valid small pool allocation, checking large pool...
unable to get pool big page table - either wrong symbols or pool tagging is disabled
fffff98052b02000 is freed (or corrupt) pool
Bad previous allocation size @fffff98052b02000, last size was 0

***
*** An error (or corruption) in the pool was detected;
*** Pool Region unknown (0xFFFFF98052B02000)
***
*** Use [COLOR="SeaGreen"]!poolval fffff98052b02000[/COLOR] for more details.
***

We can see this pool page is corrupted so we should take it a bit further.

Code:
Pool page [COLOR="SeaGreen"]fffff98052b02000[/COLOR] region is Unknown

Validating Pool headers for pool page: fffff98052b02000

Pool page [ fffff98052b02000 ] is __inVALID.

Analyzing linked list...


Scanning for single bit errors...

None found

There's not much information here so we'll need to continue.

Code:
   +0x000 PreviousSize     : [COLOR="Red"]0y00011000 (0x18)[/COLOR]
   +0x000 PoolIndex        : 0y00000001 (0x1)
   +0x000 BlockSize        : 0y00110011 (0x33)
   +0x000 PoolType         : [COLOR="SeaGreen"]0y00000000 (0)[/COLOR]
   +0x000 Ulong1           : 0x330118
   +0x004 PoolTag          : 0x2b707249
   +0x008 ProcessBilled    : (null) 
   +0x008 AllocatorBackTraceIndex : 0
   +0x00a PoolTagHash      : 0

The Previous Page is wrong as it should be 0 because 0 is non paged pool and 1 is paged pool.
non paged pool is space within memory that contains information for kernel objects such as device drivers.

Code:
rax=0000000000000000 rbx=0000000000000000 rcx=0000000009175000
rdx=0000000066e38f70 rsi=0000000000000000 rdi=0000000000000000

[COLOR="SeaGreen"]0033:00000000`72f02e09 ??              ???[/COLOR]

Now the registers are corrupt or are unavailable so I can't go any further.

Can you try disabling the special pool option in Driver Verifier?

Driver Verifier will have to be enabled again because if your RAM isn't faulty memory corruption will be caused by drivers most of the time.

This is getting really tough, if driver verifier doesn't pick up the culprit soon I'm afraid I'll soon be all out of ideas.

That BSOD was caused when Driver Verifier was running. I still have it running, it's been running for the past 3 days straight.

Edit: Is it possible that it's being caused by GPU memory?

If it is memory corruption then yes, it can be caused by video RAM.

The reason I asked is that most of the time Driver Verifier will create "driver verifier" bugchecks, mainly 0xC4 or 0xC5 bugchecks I believe.
