Ok, so now I have practically given up on myself, my computer is constantly crashing when playing games, it either crashes completely and gives me a BSOD OR it just crashes to dekstop after a while.
Before I get into more extreme detail, here is my setup:
Motherboard: Asus P8Z77 V-PRO
PSU: Corsair RM 750 (PREVIOUSLY CoolerMaster GX650W)
CPU: Intel i7 3770k
GPU: GTX 780 Strix (6GB) [Previously GTX 660ti]
RAM: Corsair DDR3 8GB (Replaced with same model)
Case:Zalman Z11 pro- or something like that
HDD: 1. Seagate Barracuda (2TB for games), 2. Western Digital Caviar Blue (500GB for OS) and occasionally I have one or two extra unnecessary
OS: Windows 8.1
Right, now that we have specs done, this problem has stuck with me for a year or so, I have ruled out almost everything, I'm not so sure. First of I had problems when I first started to install my OS but I finally got it to work (Just including EVERYTHING here), when I did I noticed it started crashing at incredibly ridiculous rates, and was pretty disappointing as I wanted to play games ( to make a note here I am 14 [ was 13] and am not very experienced and this may have something to do with it), Oh yes and by the by I built it myself, another thing to mention. After a while I though, maybe my old computer would help me troubleshoot this problem, so I moved my GPU and PSU to the other computer and guess what? It crashed as well. After that, I decided, " Ok that must be it, lets see if I still crash on my main computer with the same PSU but a different GPU, and yet again it crashed. So, big deal right? No, because I recently replaced my GPU AND my PSU and it still crashes! Disappointing! Well, more side notes may be that I also blew up some RAM, yes me, because I am stupid, but that's beside the point, so I ruled that out as well. But, it could'nt be my Mobo either right? Because I changed it with the old computer but still got crashes. Moreover, one time I blew up my Motherboard as well (Woop, big surprise!) and sent it for warranty, the problem being that it would not go into post because the RAM was supposedly bad, turns out the RAM worked fine and it was the Mobo, now I just mentioned I replaced the RAM, (just speculating here) but I bought the same brand and type, would that mean that the model is bad? I doubt it. Another thing that you may say is the problem is the OS, well, I reinstalled windows countless times and most of them were pirated, but my parents said "Hang on, what about your OS?", so we went out to buy Windows 8, and of course, nothing changed. So now I'm scratching my head here wondering what on earth is wrong with my freaking computer? I suspect my Motherboard, but who knows? OH yes P.S, my Seagate HDD has a broken SATA port, but I fixed it ghetto-ly and glued the plastic bracket thing back on, it works but I kinda doubt it's the reason as I have tried playing on a different computer and yes, of course, it still crashes.
In case you wanted to see my blue screen crashes as of recently here is a link:

There's also a trend in my BSOD crashes, they are almost always from the ntoskrnl.exe, then, you may ask "Try updating drivers..Bla bla bla", well if it was not obvious, I have, considering the amount of times I have reinstalled windows. I was wondering if anyone knows what in the name of Jetblack164 is going on? Thanks in advance for your input
.
P.S. VERY IMPORTANT! : I have a scratch on my motherboard that I accidentally did while screwing in screws into the case, nothing seems to be affected, but you never know, if in case you would like to know where it is, it is near the plugs, above the PCI slots, there is normally a hole there in a standard ATX board.
P.P.S: My computer some times starts up and then gives me a blank screen, after and sometimes before post.
