I have always had an issue with BSOD using windows 8.1 and all of a sudden it stopped and didn't happen again....until i upgraded to windows 10!! Ever since i haven't stopped getting them everytime i use it, sometimes in games, other times while just browsing the web. The messages on them are always different aswell.

I have run a memory diagnostics test which came back fine, and now I'm struggling to find what would be causing it. Has anyone got any ideas that i could use please? Or any tests that i could do that would fix the problem? I built the system myself and these are the components:

Motherboard: MSI 970A-G46 Socket AM3+ 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard

CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz Socket AM3+ 14MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor

GPU: NVidia GTX 970

thanks for any help in advance :)

Did you run memtest86 for at least 10 passes before declaring the kit to be flawless? Have you made sure your BIOS and device drivers are up to date? If not then look into your product support page to download and install the latest updates for your motherboard while you can look into Nvidia's site to download the latest GPU drivers. Mind you if the issue cropped up after getting their latest drivers then revert back to the last stable version of your GPU drivers. You can follow up with this guide to uninstall and reinstall your GPU drivers.

On a side note, are you connected to the internet via your LAN port or through a wireless adapter?
