Recently built a new computer, however it is only mostly new. The 12gb of ram (4 sticks), SSD and HDD are all from my previous build. The video card is also new however i was using it on my previous build for about 2 weeks with no problems. Never had problems like this on my previous build. Okay, kinda a long story so I will list my hardware and get into it.
Mobo: Gigabyte Motherboard Micro ATX DDR3 1800 LGA 1151 GA-B150M-D3H DDR3
CPU: Intel Boxed Core I5-6600K 3.50 GHz, 6 M Processor Cache 6 for LGA 1151 (BX80662I56600K)
CPU cooler: Corsair Hydro Series High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler H60
PSU: Corsair CX Series, CX600M, 600 Watt (600W), Semi Modular Power Supply, 80+ Bronze Certified
GPU: EVGA - GeForce GTX 970 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card
SSD: Crucial MX200 250GB SATA 2.5 Inch Internal Solid State Drive - CT250MX200SSD1
, OS is installed here and some games
HDD: WDC WD10EZEX-75zF5A0, only media and some games installed here. (sorry no link, had this a while)
So after I got all my parts I put everything together and got Windows 7 installed on it (clean install) using my old Upgrade disk, everything went okay, installed the mobo drivers, then I started installing my usual programs (chrome, avast, steam, NVidia drivers, etc) Booted up a game, Dragons Dogma, played for a bit then BSOD. Crap... Okay so I installed Rocket League (Dragons Dogma on C drive and Rocket League on D drive), try that out to be sure it wasn't just Dragons Dogma. Played for a bit ans surely enough BSOD. So I go ahead and reinstall the graphics card drivers, still BSOD. So I try reinstalling my mobo drivers, it has a bulk package install, it gets to the USB chipset drivers and takes a huge dump, the install has an error. Okay, so I run it again, same thing. Okay restart computer to try again. Keyboard and mouse not responding... well shit, now I cant even log in... They respond for the BIOS however. So I pop in the windows disk to use the repair feature, click on repair feature, says this operating system is not supported by the repair feature..... wut? Dont have time for this I got homework to do, so I run on down to Best Buy and fork over $120 for Windows 10. ANOTHER clean install with WIndows 10, same thing, install mobo stuff, install usual programs, everything seems fine. Open my game and play for like 15 min BAM BSOD. WTF. Sigh, okay, usual stuff, reinstall drivers etc. Try again and now things are running at terrible frame rates, jumping back and froth between 15-30, it got 60 constantly before. Wtf? look up problems with Windows 10 and game performance, turn off a bunch of background bullshit, run game again 60fps again, sweet.... except for the, you guessed it! BSOD! Maybe something is overheating? Install temp monitoring program, HWMonitor. Whoa wtf my CPU is idling at like 80c !!! Look that up, swap where the fan/pump are plugged in (cpu fan plug and regular mobo fan plug) Oddly enough it was the opposite of what was reccomended. According to the result I found I had it correct already (fan plugged into cpu fan plug and pump into other) now the pump is plugged into the cpu fan slot and the fan into the other and im getting way better temps, never goes over like 45c even with game open. Weird, whatever it fixed that. Okay that must have been the problem! Try my game again... aaaaaand... GUESS WHAT! BSOD!!!!! I am at such a lost right now I have no idea what to do. I have done all of the above, did a full memory test, did a system file test (sfc /scannow) did disc check. All of the above. The ONLY things I can think of I have not tried yet are to flash my bios, or revert to old GPU drivers. Here are some of my minidumps if that helps. Also this ONLY happens when I play a game, never get BSOD just browsing the web or doing homework.

UPDATE: Decided to do a 3D Mark benchmark, I used 3D Mark 11 demo on steam, after I started it I unplugged EVERYTHING but the monitors just to be sure, still BSOD. Heres the minidump for that: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B5uADlLLldW4RlFENHVQdXRuZFE&usp=sharing
Also after my pc rebooted from that, as I was copying the minidump file to my google drive I got another BSOD, first time it has happened when not plating a game, heres the minidump from that: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B5uADlLLldW4X3dnVFhwbU9wVkE&usp=sharing
I'm so confused... someone please help...
