I've had BSOD's that I was able to fix but before I did I tried Driver Verifier. After enabling Driver Verifier every crash I got was without a BSOD or a restart. Now that I've disabled Driver Verifier the problem still persists. I've had this the last time and whenever I got a BSOD it would just freeze at the BSOD screen and not load a minidump. My startup and recovery settings write debugging information are set to Kernel Memory Dump and when I try to change it to minidump it says I have no virtual memory which is certainly not true because I've got plenty (16GB) enabled. Anyone know how to fix this because I really don't want to reinstall Windows now it's finally running well.

BSOD can be caused by the 'Intel Product Improvement Program' service running in background.
You may want to remove it before anything else. See https://communities.intel.com/thread/110955

I was struggling with random BSOD's for weeks. BlueScreen ans WhoCrashed pointed to different drivers.
Also, no crash was happening when Driver Verifier was running. Then I found the thread above, regarding QUEENCREEK and NT Kernel errors.
In my case it was installed with 'Intel Driver Update Utility'.
I uninstalled it and there is no more BSOD since.
