Still crashing.....keep getting blue screens. different driver culprit every time according to event viewer. its gotta be a driver. I dunno what else to do.....

Any interest to moving to Windows 10? I think you have to the end of the year to be able to do the free upgrade.

You really shouldn't be having so many issues if you do a clean install, and only install the current drivers that are needed like the AMD stuff. It scans your PC and installs it automatically. If you are still experiencing constant crashes, you are going to have to remove everything besides what is absolutely necessary to run the PC (only 1 stick of RAM, CPU, your OS drive, and preferably another video card, and add stuff back in one by one until you start experiencing the crashes again. Because you are either doing stuff you shouldn't be doing (cleaning registry) or you have a hardware issue. Many times things like a faulty RAM slot or bad stick of RAM cause weird, random errors and crashes. You will have to test all of it.

If your getting different BSOD constantly, then it's definitely your ram that's failing. Like UsandThem already suggested, you need to download and run Memtest.

Or you can also take out the ram and try just running one stick at a time. I'll bet money that it's a bad stick of ram.

Yeah thanks I did memtest on my last 4 sticks of ram. they all failed so i just bought a brand new pair of 16gb. I dont want to face the fact that they are garbage too out of the box. I just started upgrading to win 10. see if that works.

Just to be sure, "APPCRASH" is NOT a BSOD. BSOD is the OS itself (drivers, kernel) crashing, APPCRASH is just a process exception, and doesn't affect the kernel (assuming that it can cleanly terminate the process).

These can both be caused by faulty hardware, such a bad RAM (in such an area, that the bad RAM is used by applications, but not the kernel), or a bad CPU (in very rare cases, or in less rare cases, due to overheating or VRM issues).

Edit: Btw, AppCrash exception numbrer 0xC0000005 is actually quite common, I forget if that's a RAM read/write exception, or a breakpoint. But it's not a hardware issue, that I can see. (Other than possibly bad RAM.)

Urgh! I really don't want to believe I just bough new RAM and it is garbage. But a lot of things are pointing to that and I may have to test it.
