Built computer 4 weeks ago, and it has been running flawlessly. Today while playing WoW, I was tabbing back and forth to YouTube, then got hit with a BSOD. Restarted several times, but continued to get BSOD. Made sure everything was seated properly, but still no luck. Shortly after, monitor and keyboard became unrecognized, and eventually wouldn't even POST. I removed the CMOS battery for 10 minutes, then placed it back in. When I turned it back on, my memory LED was solid red; I hit the memOK button, and the computer restarted a couple of times, and eventually sent me to BIOS. I was then able to get into Windows, and used the ASUS EZ Update to get the latest drivers. Everything was working fine for about 45 min, then got hit again with a BSOD. I read that Nvidia drivers could be the issue, so I did a clean install using DDU, and downloading the driver directly from Nvidia, not Geforce Experience; however, I am still having the same issue.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated; thank you!
 


I uninstalled AI Suite 3, but no luck. I don't see AVG listed anywhere in my programs, so I am unable to uninstall. I restored to Jan 10, but got another BSOD. Now it is saying something about "Unable to Access Boot Device"; I can't even get in Safe Mode (and the time I did, I still got a BSOD). I'm not sure there is any hope for me aside from taking it into a shop. Can I reinstall Windows on the SSD in its current state, or do I need to delete everything on it first?
 
Well AVG and Avira were installed. If AVG wasnt in programs and features did someone delete its folders. Without uninstalling it first

What did the BSOD say when you tried to boot into windows again?

If theres more than 1 hdd in the case, unplug all of them except the hdd youre installing windows on
 


I disconnected the HDD, and only left the SSD (Windows) plugged in, but still no luck. I then removed 1 stick of RAM and plugged the HDD back in, and so far everything seems to be working. I had used a previous restore point for Windows, so now some of my programs are out of whack, but as of right now, I've yet to get hit with a BSOD. I am hesitant to put this stick of RAM back in, but I would like to run a test on it to see what errors pop up if any. Any other tests I should run at this point to see if it could've been cause by something other than the RAM? I'd like to uninstall Geforce Experience and AI Suite, but since I did the restore, it won't seem to let me uninstall, or even open it. Also, when I log into Windows, I am flooded with hundreds of "Can not load image..." in relation to AI Suite; as much as I try to close them all, they continue to pop up. AI Suite won't open, won't uninstall, and I can't "Run as Admin".
