First off tools like Driver Booster should be avoided. You can download the original drivers from your account on the main PCS page. Later drivers you should only obtain from the specific hardware vendor's website.
Were you getting these errors from the moment you started using it, or only after having installed additional hardware or software? Or have they started after a Windows update (or upgrade to a new version)?
If you have the dump available that is written when it BSODs upload that to the cloud somewhere and let us know where it is so we can take a look and figure out what's failing.
One thing you can do is to unplug all external devices except the mouse and keyboard and see whether it still BSODs. It would also be worth stopping any user programs that start with Windows from starting and see whether it still BSODs (obviously you'll lose some application functionality when you do that).

Thank you for reply,I have Registered for an Account,but still waiting for Confirmation Email,I recieved Error when I 1st set up,before Installing anything,but is very random,sorry am not very knowledgable with PCs,but I do know that my Friend did this,
he went to Control Panel,opened the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers section an then changed to ‘Standard SATA AHCI Controller
if that helps,I think was set to soemthing else,but we read Online that changing to this fixes the Error

Just to say, not sure what price you bought the PC for, or when you bought it with regards to returns windows, but you can get the same spec but with a better GPU for £100 less than the current list price direct from PCS

Or much better balanced specs for varying prices.
One option potentially open to you may be to return the system for a refund and buy something that also happens to be better value.
