Sorry about the delay, at this point while you await someone to respond to this thread, you could create a new thread in the malware area to check if there is any infection. I have sent out a message to the BSOD people to have a look at your thread.
 
It's not malware, I reinstalled windows and everything and I've run a million malware checks before that. It's got to be something in the hard ware or maybe drive related. I'm not that good with computers but it cant be malware if even a clean slate computer still crashes.
 
I think it best to test your Ram Modules. Here is a Full Tutorial video I was able to grab from Youtube. Let us know the outcome....

A friend of mine talked about the watt of my PSU or something, that maybe the problem was my PSU. But sure, I'll try that.
 
Sorry about the delay. Had a real busy few days.

Your graphics card is drawing 200W. What PSU do you have? Brand, wattage?

Faulty RAM sticks will cause an excessive amount of BSODs as the data collides and can't be written properly. I would test the RAM sticks with MemTest86+ before anything else.

I seem to get to a different BIOS screen, I assume it's because I use win10. What do I do?
 
Not all BIOS screens will display the same.

How are you attempting to run Memtest86 USB or DVD?

All that you need to do is set that to boot first. Then insert the software and allow it to boot and test the RAM.

Let it test it several times just once may give you a false reading.
 
I used USB, it's running memtest, it's just that he picked some option of running USB before hard drive. I'm not sure if that's important or if I just skipped that or whatever.

Is this what this number refers to? (Test #9)

A good rule of thumb is to let it run between 2 and 5 hours. Doing so will increase the chances of catching any faults in the RAM modules :)
 
Your temps actually look high, when is the last time you cleaned the inside of your machine with compressed air?

A month ago or a bit more, when I reinstalled my computer, but BSoDs were still there after that. I changed thermal paste as well.
 
So looking at your PSU, it's not the greatest. It's 6 years old. It also emits a lot of heat on the cables. Here's a review of it and it's shortcomings. The heat on the cables is probably why it's so hot inside your case.

If your RAM checks out, you might want to consider looking at your PSU. All these BSODs point to a hardware fault, not software. These will be one of five items:

  • Bad RAM
  • Bad PSU
  • Bad Motherboard
  • Bad Hard Drive
  • Bad Graphics Card
You have a SSD, so a bad HD is unlikely. A failing PSU will cause a lot of issues, mostly destruction of hardware when it starts surging and dipping.
