Windows 10 BSOD of many kinds the past few months

[DreaNor]

I have been receiving BSOD's with many different bug strings as seen below

Most of these different errors correspond with a ntoskrnl.exe crash.

Some of these then lead to the computer restarting many times and at times beeping and making the sound that corresponds to a high CPU temperature from my understanding.

Other times it does not reach POST at all.

I was wondering if my attached files give an indication of the likely culprit or culprits.

I believe possible candidates are:
- Ineffective CPU cooler
- (Aforementioned potentially having caused) CPU damage
- RAM
- Drivers (As my errors intensified when I moved from win 7 across to 10 and as I continued getting windows updates).
- (Less likely but possible) Motherboard

I want to make sure I don't go down the wrong avenue and end up buying parts that are unnecessary when the bigger problem remains.

Any input will help.

Regards

DreaNor

Hi,
as you know you have a number of different dump files which although different mention the above driver as being the culprit:

athwnx.sys Tue Mar 1 08:39:03 2016: Driver for Qualcomm Atheros Extensible Wireless LAN (CB42/CB43/MB42/MB43) Network Adapter device driver

You may have trouble finding a Windows 10 driver as your motherboard driver support stopped at Windows 7. Also after checking your motherboard website i can find no drivers. Is this something you've added because normally the drivers would be by Realtek:
GA-EP45-UD3R (rev. 1.0) | Motherboard | GIGABYTE

When you upgraded to Windows 10 did you actually check your motherboard was/is compatible?
