Windows 10 keeps crashing and lots of BSOD... possibly faulty hardware??!?
satrow:
Hmm, doesn't really sound like a power issue, unless there's *something* happening in the background that adds some extra pressure occasionally. That doesn't mean I'd trust that PSU though ;)
Can you copy that minidump to your Desktop then zip it and attach the zip, please? You might have to enable viewing of hidden files and folders to get to it.

How do i enable viewing of hidden files and folders, it let me copy it to the desktop but is giving me some security message when trying to rar it to attach it
satrow:
If you can see it to copy/paste it to your Desktop, it's not a hidden files/folders issue, it's probably Permissions - try moving the copy on your Desktop to your Documents folder, you should have Permissions to do (almost) anything there. Or try compressing it from the normal right-click options.
djactivator:
ok, here it is the dump

There are some possibly buggy software/drivers installed that I'd like you to uninstall:
ASRock V Drive (driver=AsrVDrive.sys), shouldn't be necessary, you're on x64 and have UEFI:
"The fantastic 3TB+ Unlocker tool offers a tweak-friendly feature, breaking the limitation of 32-bit operation system that could only detect the hard disk within 2048GB. It also allows ASRock motherboards without UEFI Technology to take advantage of the hidden storage space on 3TB and larger HDDs, helping to fully utilize the wasted spaces." Same goes for any other ASRock utilities, uninstall them during troubleshooting.
HWiNFO64, fine in my experience but we need to rule out as many 3rd party drivers/filters as possible, can be reinstalled once troubleshooting is over.
uTorrent was the active process during the crash, it's possible that it's involved somehow, maybe Defender/SmartScreen picked up a 'suspicious' data string being received. Uninstall it during testing.
Ensure that you don't have any excess AMD/ATI dross loaded with CCC/Crimson, drivers only (without CCC/Crimson, if that's still possible!) if you can.
Make sure that CCleaner (or any other cleanup tool) isn't set to start or to remove minidumps, we need all the data/logs that we can - best to uninstall it/them during testing.
Basically, you need to run the System as slim as possible, if it isn't vital for the work/games that you use - uninstall it, or at least, make sure that it doesn't load on startup.
