I had several issues after upgrading to 10, so I wiped my drive and did a clean install. Updated everything I could think to, but I'm still getting freezes / BSODs on a regular basis. I don't have much to go on - it happens when I'm trying to play games (doesn't matter which - FO4, D3, LoL), and is fairly irregular. Sometimes I can go an entire evening without it happening, other times it's every ten minutes. Usually when I get a BSOD, it gets to 100% but never restarts and doesn't create a dmp file. The ones I have all point to ntoskrnl.exe, which isn't super helpful. Most of the time, the system just locks up though and needs to be force shut down. I ran MemTest86 for the past few days just to rule that out and had zero errors. I haven't done any overclocking myself.

At the moment, yes. The guide said not to run it consecutively for more than 48 hours, so I turned it off last night. Never had any issues while it was running; I'll turn it back on today, though.
You won't (yet) need to re-enable driver verifier
Please reset verifier and let me know how it goes
