Damn ok, so you're 100% certain this is what's causing the BSOD's?

Your eventlog is filled with "The device, \Device\Ide\iaStor0, did not respond within the timeout period." and usually this message is being posted due to hardware problems with either the controller or, more likely, a device that is attached to the controller in question.
And iaStor is the driver for Intel Rapid Storage Technology.
I would recommend that you try to update it so if it would solve any of your issues, this is a driver update utility from intel:

A failing hard drive was identified, when the IRST drivers are being problematic it is either a hard drive problem or driver problem where in this case it most likely was the hard drive.
Thanks for getting back at me.
I updated all my drivers 2 days ago by using "Driver Booster 3", and soon after got a BSOD with error message DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION. After some googling I found a fix for this (Microsoft Confirms Windows 10 DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION BSOD, Promises Fix), and it was indeed the iaStor driver that caused it.
I still however get BSOD (unexpected_store_exception) and have ordered a new SSD and will probably replace it soon.
I recommend to never again use driver update programs, they install corrupted/wrong drivers and thus causing more problems.
There are many who will claim otherwise, but I've seen it happen many times that such programs are the root cause of many problems thanks to the installed drivers.
Best way to install drivers? Manually, takes time but garanteed proper done with the correct onces.
Alright well thanks dudeweedlmao for the update!
And I do hope you get your problems sorted out with the new SSD!
I understand it was a desperate measure, there are enough who have done similar things in desperate measure including myself :)
Let us know how it goes when your SSD has arrived.
