If Memtest passes with no errors then I'd make sure you're on the latest BIOS:

Memtest86 passed 6 passes, I updated the BIOS and still getting these crashes...maybe its my ssd? even though it passes tests ok?

probably should try reinstalling windows before i throw any more money at it.

I would bet HDD before SSD. You could try temporarily unplugging the HDD and see if these issues continue.

Another option is temporarily using onboard video.
