I'm having trouble identifying the cause of numerous BSODs and hoping someone can be of some help.
The first few BSODs would happen during gaming sessions which resulted in > irql_not_less_or_equal > nvlddmkm.sys. I tried updating video card drivers, then completely removing and updating with no luck. The BSODs then started to happen with general usage and I was getting different stop codes everytime. I resorted to a complete reinstall of windows which hasn't resolved the issue. I'm assuming at this point I have some faulty hardware, however safe mode is BSOD free. I'm not sure how to proceed.
BSODs:
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
BAD_POOL_HEADER
CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED
with different files names such as:
nvlddmkm.sys
ataport.sys
k57nd60a.sys
igdkmd64.sys
etc.
Things I've tried:
I've attatched the W7F Diagnostic Tool results.

Things I've tried:
- sfc /scannow - before and after format, no issues
- windows memory diagnostic tool - before format, no issues
- chkdsk - before and after format, no issues.
- driver verifier (non-microsoft drivers only) - after format, multiple BSODs.
