Fresh install of Windows 10. Keeps freezing or Blue Screen. Hard drive priorities then go out of whack.

When I get a blue screen the error is "critical_process_died"

Is this a failing SSD? I did a disk check, everything came up fine. Do I not have the correct drivers, is it a screwy windows install? Would hate to do another fresh install if all I need is a driver.

I have an Asus Sabertooth Z77

Yeah I have, I chose the latest one on the Asus site, it says I already have a newer driver than that.

I thought that too then I read this

"Windows Update will automatically download and install the latest drivers for you. Windows 7 and 8 provided driver updates via Windows Update, too, butMicrosoft is being much more aggressive about this in Windows 10. It all happens automatically. Even if you install your own hardware drivers, Windows will automatically overwrite them when a new version is available."

Should I go ahead and use the older one directly from the Asus site?
