Blue screens and under-performance

[antwanman12]

Recently, I replaced my EVGA motherboard with the Asus Maximus III Formula (Intel 1156). Since I got it up and running I've been running into some very odd issues.

1) Windows will start to load, then it'll crash and say one of three things in the Blue Screen:
- MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
- BAD_POOL_HEADER
- PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA

2) After the blue screen happens, if I switch off my PSU and wait for mobo lights to turn off then turn the computer back on, it tells me that a new CPU has been installed and that I need to enter setup.

3)I have started lagging really hard in my online video games but have seen no drop in performance in benchmarks and stress tests once I get the machine up and running.

Based on these symptoms it seems like I have a driver issue but have, as of yet, been unable to pinpoint which one is at fault.

I've attempted debugging the mini-dump files, but am having a rough time finding the correct "symbols" (?).

Things I've tried:

Memtest for 4+ hours
Prime95 for 8+ hours
Updating the BIOS
Updating Chipset/GFX/Networking drivers
Reseating CPU

Any help would be appreciated

My setup (for reference):
Asus Maximus III Formula 1156 Mobo
Intel Core i5-760 @ stock
6 GB G.Skill RAM @1333MHz
Corsair 650w PSU
Asus ATi Radeon HD 5870
Turtle Beach Riviera Sound card
Prolimatech Megahalems CPU Cooler

If you lag online, it could be your connection. If you blue screen occasionally, but pass stability tests at stock speeds, it could be your Windows install.
