Persistent blue screen issues - hardware related?

Despite downloading all available drivers for my motherboard from the GIGABYTE page, I keep getting this from Driver Genius.

This is also despite downloading some of the files individually (e.g. Logitech Gaming Software).

could be but i doubt it would be monitor driver issue,more likely ram settings/voltage or cpu voltage imo,

what model monitor is it? if its working fine without drivers it should be ok

The product number is in the above screenshot, assuming it's correct. The box is in the shed at the moment. I think I'll try voltage when this driver nonsense is resolved.
 
id take those programs with a pinch of salt,sometimes they even give you older driver versions

go to your motherboard website and type in the motherboard model that will give you all the latest drivers,the monitor i wouldnt worry about,it wouldnt cause a blue screen it would just go off or simply wouldnt display anything

Yeah, I haven't heard a lot of good things about Driver Genius but I'm at the end of my tether here and was willing to try it. And yeah, that's what I'm attempting to do when it comes to drivers but I'm still having issues apparently.

Quick question, are any of these utilities completely necessary?

easytune is ok just to monitor voltages and temps from within windows,i wouldnt overclock with it,do all overclocking through/in the bios

you can use luvid virtu mvp to pair the cpu's igpu with your graphic card to boost gaming performance if you wanted to,the igpu has to be enabled in the bios first

I'm guessing that means I should change the internal graphics setting to enabled in BIOS?

Also, I just updated my bios from F9 to F15, so I suppose this will make a significant difference?

Edit: For some reason I also can't change my base clock frequency and CPU voltages in bios, it just says auto and attempting to access the setting does nothing. So clearly I need to enable something beforehand?

Okay, **** it I give up. I download all of the drivers, update my bios, then as I'm downloading the 3D power utility what happens? A blue screen. Still. After all of this, I'm trying everything, and I just can't see how this is worth it.
 
i dont know on that motherboard but you can manually set those things i mentioned,tackle one thing at a time so you know where you are regarding stability,its either memory or cpu voltage,something silly like that,and yes update to the latest bios with a usb stick and qflash

Yeah, that's the update method I used. I try to change the CPU voltage and it simply doesn't let me, it lists the voltage with an "AUTO" button next to it, but I'm unable to change anything.

Also to add insult to injury, I just managed to blue screen after signing in and attempting to access my browser.
 
I tried manually resetting the values to where they were before and it still wouldn't boot. It won't boot with anything except "optimised defaults".

Edit: I get this from WhoCrashed:

Conclusion

5 crash dumps have been found and analyzed. A third party driver has been identified to be causing system crashes on your computer. It is strongly suggested that you check for updates for these drivers on their company websites. Click on the links below to search with Google for updates for these drivers:

atikmdag.sys (ATI Radeon Kernel Mode Driver, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.)

If no updates for these drivers are available, try searching with Google on the names of these drivers in combination the errors that have been reported for these drivers and include the brand and model name of your computer as well in the query. This often yields interesting results from discussions from users who have been experiencing similar problems.


Read the topic general suggestions for troubleshooting system crashes for more information.

Note that it's not always possible to state with certainty whether a reported driver is actually responsible for crashing your system or that the root cause is in another module. Nonetheless it's suggested you look for updates for the products that these drivers belong to and regularly visit Windows update or enable automatic updates for Windows. In case a piece of malfunctioning hardware is causing trouble, a search with Google on the bug check errors together with the model name and brand of your computer may help you investigate this further. "

So it's a problem with my GPU driver? That makes absolutely no sense because I've updated to the latest one several times.
