PC Crashing after upgrade

[SpyderTracks]

There's also an option to go back to a restore point. Should i try select a date when the system was working fine? (A data before the pc went in for the upgrade)

A restore point wouldn't help as the BIOS has been updated, that's outside of windows so all your restore points will be incompatible.

You need to do a clean install using USB.

Theonly one worth doing when fault finding is the last one as its the only clean install

I really don't want to have to reinstall windows as this would take a lot of time which i don't have currently. I'm going to wait and see what pc specialist tech support say about this.

Well the bottom line is that you're clearly having driver issues and the dumps aren't (or don't seem to be) highlighting the failing driver. You've also tried the obvious hardware fixes of removing and reseating components. The big question then is 'what is the best thing to do now'?

At this point one has to start suspecting that it might be a device (hardware) problem rather than a driver (software) problem. The only way to clearly identify whether this is a software or hardware issue is to provide a squeaky clean software environment - and that means a fully clean reinstall of Windows, allowing Windows Update to install all drivers. If it fails in that pristine software state then it's almost certainly a hardware issue.

There are no shortcuts here, I appreciate that you don't want to have to do this, but you absolutely need a completely clean operating system and the only way to get that is via a fully clean reinstall of Windows. A reinstall really will be faster and far less painful than spending weeks trying to troubleshoot your existing system.
