I've been having nothing but problems with Windows 10 since I upgraded from windows 7. All the parts I've had worked on 7 just fine. I upgraded to 10 and I've been getting BSOD randomly and especially on the startups. I even would get BSOD just from the upgrade to 10. I had to turn off turbo core and cool and quiet so it would get through the installation. A few days after I finally got 10 to work I put my computer in a new case with a new PSU. It would work fine for a week or two and then it would BSOD randomly. I had an issue with Google Chrome in that it would slowly lock my computer up everytime I opened it. I initially thought my SSD was going bad but it's only 2 years old. I stopped using Chrome and the problem stopped. Now I'm getting a new error.

I use my computer for animations, rendering, gaming, browsing so it gets worked pretty hard but it doesn't ever crash during intense use. Now I'm completely stuck. I am getting this "driver verifier iomanager violation wdf01000.sys" BSOD everytime I boot up the computer. I don't remember installing anything new the last time I used it. I try to get in to safe mode and it gives me the SYSTEM EXCEPTION ERROR nonsense which I would get randomly before. Sometimes it would give me some KERNAL error too. So now I can't even get in to safe mode. I don't know what to do at this point. I need to use this computer for the work I do or I'm screwed. If anyone could please help, it would be a lifesaver. Thanks

Going through Asus's product support page have you updated your BIOS to version 2601? Have you also updated your chipset drivers from AMD's site here? I'd suggest removing any third party utilities from Asus to rule them out as being the source. I'd also suggest updating your GPU drivers(if you haven't) to version 361.43 available for download off of Nvidia's site.

How are you connected to the internet? Via a wired connection or a a wireless adapter?

The way you've put it, it sounds like you're experiencing corruption in your OS and thus the degradation in your experience with Windows 10. See if you can perform a system restore to a point prior to when the issue began to rear its head and consequently a repair install. Corruption in OS may also occur during/after the mandatory windows update.

Though wdf01000.sys is a sign that you're going through a driver conflict.
