Your getting dangerous with doing all the driver updates/rollbacks... This time DXGKRNL.sys= part of DirectX video, NDPROXY.sys= part of a network driver, and HIDUSB.sys= a USB hub driver...
Time for a fresh Windows install, isn't it? It still looks like motherboard drivers. Are you sure this motherboard supports Windows 7? It could be that the motherboard is defective

Thank you very much Tmagic, I've been really trying to avoid a fresh install but honestly screw it at this point. Do you think a faulty SSD could be the source? Either way, time for a fresh install.

This time, let Windows Update find the motherboard drivers during the fresh install. If you see any yellow Exclamation Points in the device Manager after the install completes, you can see if those drivers, and only those drivers that are available on the ASROCK website. Run Windows Update until no more updates are found, and be sure to include the optional updates as well. These optional updates often include driver updates
Alright, COMPLETELY fresh install of Win 7 x64 this time.
I did:
Windows Install
Couldn't find ethernet controller so I used the mobo CD to find only that driver and installed it.
Used windows update to get ALL updated until no updated could be found, took about 4-5 rounds.
Went to ATI.com and grabbed the latest drivers and utility package for my card.
Computer was fine, left it and came back some hours later to find it had BSOD'd and restarted, I have attached the minidump... I'm a little pessimistic about my situation, I feel my mobo or my SSD might be bad, and I have no idea how to test either at this point. I'm going to run memtest again, just as a sanity check.

Alright, good job on the fresh install. Unfortunately the minidumps are CSC.SYS and HdAudio.sys this time and I really think that the motherboard is the issue here. I don't have much troubleshooting experience with SSD's at this point. Stay away from ASROCK and go with Gigabyte, MSI or BioStar mid-priced boards. ASUS boards are very common, but they are known to be very picky about memory and other hardware used with them
It had very positive reviews and the reddit.com BuildAPC subreddit was in love with it, 100% jap gold caps, and good power phase design. I don't see a place where it says it is windows 7 ready, but I'm assuming it is since it is fairly current tech with PCI-E 3.0, USB 3.0, etc..
I just realized something. When I first put my ram in, it was detected as 1333 not 1600. I set it to use the XMP profile, which made it 1600, which is what the ram is rated for. I set it to motherboard default now, 1333, and I'm going to see what happens.
