Hello
About a month ago iv noticed that in rare occasions this bsod would pop up out of the blue and i haven't found any way to fix it. It seems to happen most commonly in Gta 5 on steam while playing. Another problem i found is that no matter what i do no mini dumps appear in its usual plase, il also leave a picture of the bsod on my screen. Thank you

Hi,
to help you best we need to see the actual dump files. As your machine isn't creating them please make sure your settings are set like thus:
Open the run application.
Type sysdm.cpl in the run box and click ok.
Look across the top of the system properties box for 'Advanced' and click that.
Look for 'Startup and Recovery' near the bottom and click 'settings'.
Near the bottom you'll see a drop down menu under the heading 'write debugging information'.
In the drop down menu choose ' small memory dump (256KB)'
Under 'small dump directory' make sure it says %SystemRoot%\Minidump.
Click ok and your good to go.

Other reasons for no dump file can include no pagefile or one that's below 200mb so if you changed it return to default values...

So iv finnish most of the testing. Games that have been cleared as no black screen (Battlefield 4 multiplayer, Mount and Blade all of them, Garry mod, arma series, h1z1) all on multiplayer for around 3 hours. Now im going to test insurgency and ark which is where i had the problem in. And at the bottom is the average system stats i had during most of these games.

Well i found a new issue and it dosent look good
Today i stated up my pc and noticed none of the led lights or the monitor where on. I restarted again than herd 1 long beep and 1 short, so i went inside my pc and pulled out my 2 new sticks of ram (non xmp ones that have been in my pc for almost a year) and it started up and did a system recovery (which to no ones surprise found nothing) but i was able to use disc version recovery and found a error code 0x490

Note: now on the bottom right side of the desktop it says this copy of windows is not genuine and have no clue where the code box for it is.

This error code means the boot manager crashed or is damaged.

You can use jellybean key finder to find out what your activation key:
KeyFinder | Magical Jelly Bean

You might well be seeing the activation message because of corruption. I'd try either a clean install or a reset.

About an hour after my last post i truned off my pc and it would not start correctly and the only thing that would fix it is takeing out all but 1 ram. i aslo had to go to the sata section in my bios and changed it to ide.

You could test both RAM and HDD by using Memtest86 for the RAM and chkdsk for the HDD. Make sure when running chkdsk that you also repair broken sectors too:
Link Removed

It might your motherboard which is at fault. The reason i say this is because usually Windows only asks for re-activation if a component like the motherboard changes. This is only a hunch so don't take it as gospel.
You could try phoning Microsoft activation regarding your issues and they may supply you with another key once the problem is explained. Google for the correct number (I would have looked for you but am unsure in which country Vault 13 lies.. :) )

After much testing i have came up with this. In the morning when i tested this i pulled out the back slot 2 ram out and it worked but i decided do more testing and now the back 2 ram slots work. and now im going to try chkdsk. Games also seem to still work and my 8 gigs are well enough so i dont entirely mind. one other strange thing i found was that the time on my pc has been set back for some strange reason. (vault 13 lye's in the great mighty New California)

You should be able to find the telephone number for activation here:
Link Removed

Let me know how you get on with the chkdsk. Oh and it might be worth clearing the bios if things are really out of wack?

So i ran the scheduled chkdsk and the screen for it poped up for only a few second after boot saying it was clear. And i did a full reset to default of my bios.(it dident really do anything)

Did you sort out the activation issues? Also how are you running? Still problems or has things settled down now you removed one set of RAM?

I was able to run with 2 sticks of ram. But i decided to get a new.mobo and case but im now faceing a old problem i never delt with. About a year ago a part of my hdd became currupted and it thinks it is a ide when it is a sata. I get code error 0x000007b. The thing with my new.mobo is that it wont let me use ide as hdd.

Well 7B bugchecks mean inaccessible Boot device so it sounds like the drive needs replacing. Try checking the drive with Seatools:
