Honestly, I wouldn't use Norton or McAfee. They both cause too many problems. Maybe I don't understand you, but you say you haven't had any BSODs since May, but you have dump files from June and July. There have been reports of a lot of people having problems with AMD GPU drivers in Windows 10.
Another BSOD occured, was playing a game when a small square appeared on the top of the screen, began flickering, and then the bsod occured. Here's the dump, I wonder if the cause is consistent

That is Symantec Real Time Storage Protection. You obviously did not uninstall Norton.
I couldn't uninstall it until I copied my backup files from it, it's uninstalled now
I haven't had any bsods for now but I still have visual issues in games such as

That looks very much like a video card problem. Please download and run the benchmark for Ungine Heaven http://unigine.com/products/heaven/download/. When you first open it, you will have the set up page. set it up simply like this.

then click run. When the next page gets loaded and starts moving, click the Benchmark button on the top left and it will run a benchmark and give you a score. just watch your temps, and watch for any artifacting in the picture. This is much more interesting than Furmark.
Ran it with norton uninstalled, and got 1 artifact throughout the test
Ran it with norton installed, way more artifacts and eventually a blue screen
It is more than likely that my gpu is defective I guess, it did all begin occurring after I got it. Never had issues with norton beforehand
try leaving Norton uninstalled and replace it with Microsoft Security Essentials (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/w...tials-download) For a while and see how it does. Also don't forget to use the Norton Removal Tool to get all the left over Norton out of the system. https://support.norton.com/sp/en/us/...rProfile_en_us.
Even if it is your graphics card, it seems to make a big difference without Norton. Maybe you can get a little more use out of your card.
I don't have a problem with using microsoft security essentials, I just don't know if it's efficient or not when it comes to detecting viruses since it's free
I used it and free malwarebytes for quite a few years without a problem. The best anti virus is you knowing where you are going, what you are downloading and where it comes from. I never download anything from any place other than the author's web site and I always watch out for the unwanted add ons. For our purposes here, Security Essentials is the only AV I am aware of that has never caused a BSOD. That is the first thing you want to accomplish. After you are sure you are stable, you can start trying programs out. Just make sure it is one at a time. That way if the BSODs start again, you will know what caused it.
