Various and Constant BSOD's.

On this build with the MSI Gaming 5, I had BSOD's from day one, from basic opening of a program to gaming, so I posted over on the Windows 8 forum, and it turned out to be a mix of Avast and the MSI tools, once I removed everything MSI, and Avast, everything sorted itself out.
it could be a similar issue.

As sated in my OP. The system BSOD's with a clean install of Win7 with NO DRIVERS or other SOFTWARE Installed. With the most basic of setup necessary to get into Win7, and as such I think a driver or software causing this problem is now highly unlikely.
Fitted the new PSU and guess what it BSOD'ed at just over 4 hours once again.
Just out of curiosity I decided to run memtest86 again and this time it started failing after about one hour, this is somewhat annoying as the memory was previously tested and passed. I bought a new pair and all passed in each slot even after leaving it on overnight with all four sticks installed and completing 10 passes.
So my memory has become damaged since installed, or they were already near failure when previously tested and managed to pass.

Problem finally solved, it was memory after all.
I initially had 4 sticks, one of the pairs failed from day 1 which was then replaced. Both pairs then passed memtest86 for 10 runs. After that I continued to get BSOD's, then after changing all components with new components and still not finding the cause of the problems, I retested the memory again and one stick of each pair now failed. Which is rather infuriating, just goes to show that just because a test passes the first time it doesn't mean it actually passed. As you can't prove that a pass is actually a pass, but one failure is enough to determine a fail.
