Consistent BSODs after new motherboard and CPU

[Chirven]

So I recently upgraded from an AMD fx-6300 to an Intel i5-4690K on a PC Mate z97 motherboard. I have been getting BSODs at seemingly random points since then. I use my PC often and it will blue screen about 3-5 times a day. I have tried installing all drivers from the PC Mate Z97 part of MSI's website but the blue screens still continued. I then completely reset windows 10, deleting everything, but the blue screens still continue. I am at a loss for ideas at the moment. I would give specific BSOD errors but they are always different. Any tips on where to go from here? Are there any really obvious causes that may have occurred?

Thanks in advance.

Did you install windows fresh or re-use the previous installation?
Have you tested the ram?

I used the reset option on windows 10 settings, so I'm guessing thats me reusing a previous installation, unless resetting also reinstalls windows. I have not tested the ram because the problem arose when I switched CPU and motherboard so I assumed that it was not a ram issue.

so your using an old install format the drive and do a fresh install

Ok, are you sure that formatting the drive and doing a complete new install of windows will offer any benefits compared to the windows reset?

well it has your old motherboard config an amd processor all in the old windows its up to you but that's what you need to do USB stick fresh install quick and it should be fine

So I completely formatted my hard drive and freshly reinstalled windows 10. Unfortunately the blue screens still continue. I am starting to believe that it is a driver issue as many of the BSOD errors upon research are commonly caused by drivers. I also got "amd driver stopped responding and has successfully recovered" before the windows reinstall.

Is it possible that the latest drivers I have may be causing this BSOD issue? Is there any way of diagnosing any faulty drivers that caused the BSOD? Thanks for the help so far

if it was a driver issue a fresh install would of solved the issue I think its far more likely to be hardware related could we have a list of hardware including PSU brand and model

Something important to note is that this bluescreen did not happen before I changed hardware. Here are the specs:

MSI PC Mate Z97
Intel Core i5-4690K
AMD Radeon HD 7870 Ghz Edition
16gb (4x4) of Patriot Viper 3 DDR3
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
Antec TP-650C

Actually, with high suspicions that it was an AMD driver issue I found this: https://community.amd.com/thread/203600
Seems recent AMD drivers have had problems, but then again the bsod is possibly another issue.
