History:

computers been getting BSOD on occasion for the last few months, generally got the odd freeze with Battlefield 4, and the new star wars game, tanked it after about an hour and a half every time. Witcher 3 and the new Dragon age seemed to run fine.

had several component swap outs, and recently used CC cleaner, to clean up old registry values and drivers.

Specs:
M597r2.0
amd fx 8250 with corsair h100gtx cooler
AMD R290 GTX
16 gigs of kingston hyper x 1600 ram, (currently on mem test)
1 ssd
3 other traditional hdd's (all passed seatools tests)
Hx850 pro powersupply

Problem:
BSODS picked up increasingly. Netflix seems to kill it for some reason right out. I formatted and installed a fresh copy of windows. installed drivers and tried updating windows to no luck, and still get more BSOD's after the install.

I tried looking for a BSOD log, and it seems either windows is not recording the dumps, or its just not dumping.

I also run future mark benchmarking software regularlly after upgrades to test out my system, never had any crashes there.

so I'm thinking the mother boards crapped out, or the PSU. I'm trying to figure out which is more likely.

Well if your trying to cross out Mobo and PSU. I Would more think of that problem being the power supply, but actually it could be a memory problem. Corsair power supplies are known for just dying out or stop working correctly, wouldn't recommend Corsair's line of PSU's, good keyboards though. It could also be the Memory, sometimes kits of memory stop working correctly, have you tried a different kit of Mem.? The only problem I could honestly pin down on the motherboard would be replacing the cmos battery on the motherboard. That worked for me.
