Hardware Urgent! BSOD on Windows 10 after installing AMD Overdrive.

Yup, sounds like a repair installation is in order. That, or a whole fresh installation, if possible. You should perform a fresh install every year or two anyways, otherwise the system gets bloated and stuff like this happens. What I'd suggest is downloading the latest Windows ISO from Digital River - it's legal and free if you have a Windows key. Once you do that, create a bootable stick and copy over the installation files, there are plenty of guides online on how to do that.

Digital River doesn't host Windows 10 ISOs. However they can be downloaded with the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool if a key is provided.

Huh. Quite right, I completely forgot that they stopped hosting the files like normal people. Anywho, yeah, the MCT will download the ISO just fine.

So, I just tried to the MCT and I got an error code 0x80042405-0xa001A when verifying my download at 50%. It's odd because I've done this before and it worked and I'm using the same USB device as before but now it won't work.
Switched usbs, now it works.

Thank you guys so much for your help! I was finally able to reinstall windows and keep all of my old data!

But doesn't a fresh install wipe all data anyway? It's kind of a pain getting everything back in order.

So everything seems to work except now the windows store isn't able to redownload my apps... no idea what the problem is or how to fix it but I get the error code 0x80070005. Anyone know what to do?
