So i'm completely stumped for idea's on whats wrong with my pc.

Hardware:

i5 2500k @ Stock currently.
Corsair 750w PSU
Gigabyte z68-ds3-ap
Kingston V+ 120gb ssd
16gb Kingston HyperX ram
480GTX

PC started playing up, Explorer.exe kept crashing, while browsing net and streams. Then Shockwave Player will constantly crash, and minutes later the PC will BSOD. Throwing out SERVICE_EXCEPTION_ERROR, or DRIVER_IRQL. So i formatted, thinking Windows was corrupt. Instantly upon getting into windows, BSOD, ntfs.sys error. Loaded back up installed chrome, shockwave crashes pc reboot's. (didnt tick the box to show bsod in new windows) Chrome throws out an error of Memory ref could not be read 0x0000000 etc

Did memtest in cmd prompt 0 Ram error's detected. Took out the 480, using onboard, same thing happens chrome crashes, bsod.

So now im stuck either:

Windows CD Corrupt
SSD is corrupt (did HDtune on it and all the segments we're green)
Mobo is buggered
PSU could be on it's way out but unlikely as it's never bsod in games

Last night i ran intel burn in test and the pc didn't crash

help!
 
New syptoms, PC will now BSOD trying to get into windows, but eventually get's in?

The pc is incredibly LAGGY, as in it's got like 512mb of ram, and a pentium 3. When it's a i5 2500 and 16gb.
 
I had similar issues recently, it was the hard disk for me, drive scans also said the drive was fine and didn't have any bad sectors. I reinstalled windows on another drive and the PC is fine now.
 
Well i have another SSD that i just bought here, Crucial plugged it in to install windows, and the windows install screen was so lagged, and took ages to even bring up the "select windows type screen" i gave up. (the same lag i experienced on desktop)
 
Fair enough you could probably discount the RAM then, maybe try a new SATA cable and try re-install with 2X4gb sticks, if not already tried?

I've also tried new sata ports, gone from the White one's too blue not the cable though. Is the motherboard a b3 then?

I think so, not 100% sure, I imagine if you bought it recently then it'll be the latest version with the fix included, but like I say not 100%
 
I will add this, i've previously had a problem with the board (the gigabyte boot cycle). when i was overclocking the system got stuck, and the only way to get it out was to use different sata ports, may sound strange
