Hello again!
Apologies for this delayed response; I was called away unexpectedly, and have only just returned this late evening.
1. Malwarebytes were helping initially as my own Malwarebytes software Premium Edition wasn't stable, the scan by Technical Support indicated that I needed the more recent 'beta' and then shortly afterwards the full new (3.2.) version, so that was their official involvement. So, no malware specifically but, when I indicated the BSODs problems, they were kind enough to assist by running some scans on my PC, and making some suggestions for improvements - but eventually we agreed that as the BSODs were still happening, I'd need specialist advice - and that's when Malwarebytes suggested yourselves, and I came to you. I'm not sure how to 'link' you to our e-mail exchanges, but will ask if Malwarebytes can do something from their end - perhaps explain 'specialist to specialist' what they did and what results were obtained - I hope that may help.
2. us0*.dll - I know in general terms about dll, but have NOT noticed these specifically so cannot account for them, sorry - all I have found is this link - File Extension US0 - What is .us0 file? How to Open US0 File
3. Driver updater programs - well yes, Windows and those Intel drivers linked to the Z87 chipset on my Z87-K Assus mobo, but apart from those, only the updater for my Samsung kit - mainly for the laser printer. Early on, when I thought drivers might be the problem, I ran every driver in Device Viewer through 'update driver' but with virtually no changes made. I did have a strange incident where a small utility/program (Wushowhide?) appeared on my desktop, and listed about ten drivers that 'were awaiting update' with 'show or hide' instructions, but they never showed up in Windows Update, no matter how often I ran that and, as several were 'Intel', the specialist Intel Driver Updater didn't show them either. (I was cautioned against using third-party updater programs and have not done so since that initial 'listing'.)
My apologies for this long response, but am unsure how much may be relevant.
4.The other question about updating the BIOS is a book in itself, with the Asus UEFI BIOS hedged in my THREE methods of updating, all dependant upon Asus software - NONE of which works effectively with my system, nor with Windows 10 at all (at my guess), since none of them have Win 10 drivers offered. I have tried all three methods, including reinstalling Asus 'AI Suite 3' which was associated with so many problems by other people on the forums and which I rarely got to run, even with Win7 when this mobo was new, and had removed. NOW, if I do run it ONLY to be able to use the BIOS 'Updater' facility within it, it crashes to BSOD instantly, returning a 'Driver Verifier Detected Violation' I have emailed Asus for assistance with (Win10) drivers, but had no response as yet.
5. Finally, I have tried some 'Safe Mode' since my return, but only for short time; what should I be looking for there, please?
I'll contact MalwareBytes to see if they are able to give you any useful information from their thread and, once again, many thanks for your assistance for which I am very grateful.
