Troubleshooting system BSOD

[Xanshiva]

I recently was having trouble with my custom built system from 2011 spontaneously giving me BSODs and performing extremely poorly. I attempted some easy fixes to no avail and instead ordered a new hard drive and motherboard because I was already looking into getting those before the problems began. I put those two components in and am still having identical errors. I keep getting incompatible hardware errors and incompatible drivers. My computer will boot and make it into Windows but the BSOD usually hits around 10 minutes in. I ran memtest which found no errors and just cannot nail down the problem. Any ideas?

List all the components with brand and type and your operating system. Thanks

Have you reformatted & reinstalled windows at all in the past? If it were me I'd save all my files, wipe the HDD, and reinstall windows to rule out any software-related issues.

My OS is 7 ultimate and I currently run an Asus motherboard M5A97 R2.0 970 AM3+R. Hard drive is a Western Digital velociraptor 500GB, an Nvidia gtx 9500, a cheap Radeon backup graphics card maybe a 500, 2 sticks of 4gb Ddr3 ripjaws ram, and a 700w corsair power supply.

I have already attempted to reformat and have saved all my files.. didn't alleviate the problems
