OK, so the fix above stopped crashes when opening that game launcher.

I still get intermittent BSOD though. It happens seemingly random - while doing nothing other than navigating 4 or 5 tabs the...

Yeah thats right, from those connectors.

I am sorry about the long delay, it was due to the holiday where I live.

2 things:

1: A customer support person replied to a ticket I submitted about the game and here is what he told me:
...

Yeah I understand. So I've been trying to stay consistent with the Nvidia drivers as they come out. Should I try older ones?

That's for games, what explains the BSOD from say, creating the Windows media device to reinstall Windows 10?

BSOD happened with an old GTX 465 and the same BSOD continued when I upgraded to a GTX 960.

How can I tell what drivers are causing the issue?

Oh, yes most every game. I chose those 2 because I know those cause BSOD. But you're making me remember, during the beta, Overwatch caused a BSOD after I upped the graphics settings to max. I was...

Oh I'm sorry, I misunderstood. I booted with safe mode again. None of the activities I know to cause BSOD in regular cause BSOD in Safe mode.

I'm able to watch videos inside steam, the eve...

"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...

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.

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...

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...

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 -...

There is an updated BIOS from 5/22/2015.

I'll go ahead and update it tonight then.

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

This is new, I was trying to create a backup USB using 'Back up and Restore (Windows 7)' and got a BSOD while doing that.

Here is the dump per the instructions.

Derp, saw the link in your post too, sorry. I forgot the rule, just follow the BSOD posting guides each time. So sorry, I will get on that.

oh, alright, well, i'm sorry, you're right. I guess I wasn't sure exactly what is needed. Sorry.

Let me explain a little (I hope this helps).

The best way for me to recreate the BSOD is to...

I completely removed the hard drive and still get the BSOD issues.

So what are the next steps specifically?

Shall I remove the hard drive and try to cause the BSOD?

I apologize, it is.

I went ahead and cleared (edited) the contents of the first post.

I differentiated the Hard Drives better in the subsequent posts.

#27 and #28 are the completed...
