I've been experiencing blue screens with increasing frequency of late and was wondering if anyone could help. Between updating my graphics card, a suspect WoW installation and the anniversary update I'm not quite sure how to pinpoint the problem or what to do to rectify it.
WoW has also been randomly crashing and the blue screens also tend to happen when I am running WoW and I have been able to reproduce a crash once, though with a different error code. They haven't been happening when rendering in After Effects. I'm thinking this is a software issue but I know just enough about computers to build them and troubleshoot with google. As it's going to take hours to reinstall WoW, it would be helpful if someone could look over the files and see if I'm on the right track.

What I have done:
- Updated motherboard drivers
- Cleaned and reinstalled graphics driver
- Run sfc /scannow (came back ok)
- Uninstalled all Blizzard games and presently reinstalling WoW
- Reseating graphics card and checking cables
- Running memtest86
- Formatting Windows drive (last resort)
