Software isn't going to do much for you. Start with hardware first.

I would suggest that your memory is starting to go.

run memtest and see if you come up with any errors.

I think there is so much shitty software out there right now that programmers just think that a super fast computer will deal with it. I recently uninstalled some WOW addon that was glitching my computer hardcore. Go backwards with software that you installed since you can remember having issues. Uninstall this software and see if the problem goes away.

There's no software causing it... Even after a fresh reformat.

What should I do with MemTest? Any particular settings?

Image shows nothing.

You need to run memtest86 and let it go. If you get any errors in memtest then you have bad memory or a bad memory slot on your motherboard.

That image shows memory usage not memory testing.

As I stated earlier.. sata cable and sata port
