Setup:
Win 10
i7 3770
16GB Corsair
Asus P8Z77-V LK
Samsung 500GB 840evo (and two HDDs)
2x EVGA 660GTX in SLI

When I originally had win 7, I did not have any of these issues. I did not know that the Asus AI suite's OC features messed with my pc when I updated to win 10. I think that might be the cause of at least some of my problems. I have since removed it from my computer after 'detuning' it.


I have two (maybe more!) problems:
(1) Lately, in the last 2 weeks, I have had a problem with the win 10 interface start 'blinking' at me. The windows bar seems to try to reload itself once a second. I had the task manager open the last time it happened. The CPU usage shot up to 100% and stayed there. I shut the computer down and reboot. It happened when I tried to open an image file from the downloads folder. The time before that, it happened when I moved msft word from one monitor to the other.
I did some further testing. It happens every time that I am in windows explorer and right click a picture file.

(2) When I put the computer to sleep one of two things will happen. Either (a) when I wake the computer, the monitors will continue to sleep or (b) I will get a BSOD with a message that reads either "VIDEO_SCHEDULER_INTERNAL_ERROR" or "MEMORY MANAGEMENT ERROR". Each time I get the former, I check my video card drivers to make sure they are up to date.

A couple of extra notes:
When running most software my heavier software Solidworks and Steam games I experience no issues. When I get the first (1) problem, I tend to have chrome running and it continues to function normally. It would not be out of the question for me to do a clean install of windows. I would just prefer it if I didn't have to.

I really appreciate any and all help here.

Apple's software is pretty much garbage, so it can certainly be the CPU issue, but the BSOD errors seem like a Windows corruption. Try using sfc /scannow to see if there's an issue. Also consider completely removing quicktime, I've had issues with it trying to integrate into explorer to do thumbnails.

I just went through a total uninstall of apple products on my computer, no issues with the picture files at all!

I also followed your suggestion for sfc. It successfully repaired a bunch of files. Hopefully that does it! Thanks basroil!
 
Bugchecks are caused by hardware or the software interface to the hardware. I.e. A device driver.

This being said, applications can not directly cause a Bugchecks but may expose a bug in a driver.
For example video steaming often crash because of old Ethernet drivers. Graphics drivers crash because of bugs in motherboard audio drivers. Many motherboard audio drivers were updated right after Windows 10 shipped. Be sure to check your motherboard vendors website for updates.
