BSODs with a self-assembled computer

Hi all,
I'm a first-time builder with a problem that I don't really know how I should go about trying to fix. Within about 5 minutes of startup (sometimes I don't even get to login, sometimes after I've started up a program or two) I get a BSOD, practically always with a different error message. In most of the cases WhoCrashed places the blame on ntoskrnl.exe. After a few restarts (which sometimes get stuck at post, sometimes get farther), though, the computer seems to start up properly and happily runs for hours. However, the computer almost never does the proper startup at the first go, and for example sometimes it only installs windows updates during one of the restarts, not at the very first go.

I've ran Prime95 for about 5 hours with no problems, and memtest didn't have any problems either (though by far I've only ran it for 2 or 3 cycles with both of my RAMs plugged in, so haven't been thorough with it yet). I've also been checking and rechecking that everything is properly installed and all the wires are plugged in, and haven't been able to find problems in that regard. Considering that I already had to have my motherboard switched out, it's pretty annoying if this turns out to be another hardware issue. I've also been trying to make sure that all my drivers are up to date. Haven't updated my BIOS yet, but since it seems like there's been a new update out just a few days ago I might give it a go as well. Reinstalling Windows has not changed a thing.

Within a few seconds of the crashes, this warning is also found in the event viewer. Unlike the crash messages themselves, this one seems to stay the same from one crash to another.

The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device ACPI\PNP0A0A\2&daba3ff&1.

And to finish off this wall of text, my system specs:

ASUS Gryphon z87 motherboard
Intel i5-4670 cpu
2x4gb G.Skill RipjawsX RAM
Super Flower Golden Green 550w psu
TP-Link TL-WN881ND Wireless adapter
(plus an EVGA GTX 660 FTW Signature 2 gpu, but that's currently unplugged with no drivers installed as it causes problems with system restarts, but that's a problem for another time)

Unfortunately I don't have any spare parts or access to another computer where I could have the parts tested out one by one.

Considering that I've been stuck with this problem for a while now, any help is much appreciated!
