I downloaded it in 2014 from their support page. Could they have removed it?

There is an updated BIOS from 5/22/2015.
I'll go ahead and update it tonight then.
OK, I updated the BIOS. When I do the activities that previously caused a BSOD, windows just freezes. So no more BSOD, just a frozen screen.
Here is a screenshot of the windows Event Viewer - Windows Logs - Application:

- The last times stamp before watching a video is that Security-SPP at 11:03pm
- I start Steam and navigate to a video at 11:06pm
- Windows freezes and I leave it frozen so there is an obvious time gap
- I reset the computer by manually turning it off on the tower and turning it back on at 11:19pm.
Anyways, I still ran the log collector and here are the logs:

I'm getting ready to just try a clean install of Windows 10. What do you think? I haven't done a clean install for years.
My timeline:
- Install windows 7 (~2012 not sure)
- Upgrade to my PC to the hardware I currently have (Feb 2014)
- Upgrade the OS to Windows 8.1; not a clean install, the upgrade from 7 (March 2014 - BSOD begins)
- Upgrade the OS to Windows 10; not a clean install (Summer 2015)
A clean install would have been my next suggestion
But remember that you canNOT rush with software installation, install all Windows Updates & the drivers that your motherboard provides from the website. Use only Windows Defender, Malwarebytes on-demand too if needed. After you are sure that no problem has occured start slowly installing software one-by-one and do it in steps, so lets say you install a few programs each time and check if any problem occurs, if none occurs then install a few other programs and so on.
Geeze I can't catch a break.
Every time I run the Windows MediaCreationTool to create a USB with a Windows 10 I get a BSOD.
Here are the logs:

Just thought maybe it will help see if there are hardware issues.
I am looking for another way to install Windows 10 clean here: Windows 10 - Clean Install - Windows 10 Forums
OK, I got windows 10 installed. I downloaded all of the drivers from my motherboards web page (the one you linked earlier - Support For Z87-G43 GAMING | MSI Global | Motherboard - The world leader in motherboard design)
I did it slow - one at a time with a restart after every install.
I downloaded Steam to install and upon opening the SteamSetup.exe the system crashed with a BSOD.

I am able to recreate it exactly, downloading the Eve Online launcher and running it immediately gives me a BSOD. Here is that dump:

I am at a loss.

One more edit before bed. I booted into Safe mode and the Eve Online launcher opened fine and downloaded updates. Leaving safe mode I still get a BSOD.
"can you do similar things in normal mode without crashes?"
No, the eve launcher gives me BSOD in normal mode.
I reboot Windows in Safe mode.
I opened the launcher while in Safe mode and no BSOD.
I exit safe mode, reboot to normal. It gives me BSOD again.
