Can someone diagnose the problem that is causing these BSODs?

Hey, So I upgraded my PC recently and have been getting BSODs ever since I upgraded from an AMD FX-6100 to an Intel I5 4690k and changed my motherboard to fit the CPU along with it (Some cheap Gigabyte board to ASUS Z97A) and ever since then I've been getting BSODs constantly but more frequent when playing games and watching videos etc. Here are some of the error codes I've gotten thus far:

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
CACHE_ERROR
BAD_POOL_HEADER
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON PAGED AREA
SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
MEMORY_MANAGEMENT

Since these happened I've replaced both my RAM and my HDD and clean installed windows 10 around 8 times or so and I don't know what else I can do Ive looked up the error codes and all seem to point to faulty drivers or RAM issues and I've installed new RAM and cleaned installed and formatted multiple times so I'm completely lost at this point, Thanks for reading and any help would be much appreciated. :)

Go to Control Panel>System>Advanced System Settings and under the Advanced tab, go to Performance and select Settings. Under the Advanced tab, go to Virtual Memory and select change. Check the box "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives". Click OK. This is one of the most common causes for the BSOD's you are seeing. The paging file gets changed to No paging file. If that isn't the problem, I would try uninstalling the video driver using Driver Sweeper and trying some different drivers. If you find one that doesn't cause the errors, you will have to disable Windows Update for device software to prevent it from reinstalling buggy drivers.

better if you put your memory dumps on a server like microsoft onedrive and share the for public access.

failing that, you would run memtest to confirm your BIOS settings for your memory are correct, then boot into windows run cmd.exe as an admin then run
sfc.exe /scannow

if you get any errors then run
dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth


two of the errors you indicated may indicate bad memory or a device driver that is corrupting system memory.
memtest will most likely find a bad memory problem.
to find a device driver that is corrupting system memory you have to turn on verifyer flags and reboot.

IE
start cmd.exe as an admin then run
verifier.exe /standard
then reboot your system, if a device driver is corrupting system memory the system will bugcheck faster and name the device driver in the memory dump.

NOTE: use
verifier.exe /reset
to turn off verifier when you are done testing or you system will be about 20% slower until you do.
if you bugcheck during the boot process you have to boot up in safe mode and run the /reset command.

you can post the memory dump to a server and have someone look at it or you can run
bluescreenview.exe or whocrashed.exe and it has a chance of naming the correct driver. verifier enable bughcecks have a better chance of naming the bad driver.
