Help me, my computer is fucked.
I installed a Dualshock3 driver package from reddit to be able to play Dark Souls on PC with a PS controller. It included xbox360 drivers, SCP and unbeknown to me, a couple of motioninjoy drivers as well.
Many months went without issues, but one day a boss hit me, the controller rumbled uncontrollably and a BSoD happened. Couldn't read what it was. Rebooted and kept playing until i got to another area, another couple of BSoDs that i couldn't read, startup got fucked and went into infinite loop. I did startup repair, recovery, scanned with malwarebytes and nothing, Avast antivirus got disabled, tried to delete the drivers, issues keep happening and currently this thing is relatively stable. I still get random reboots and don't know how to fix it. One of the BSoDs said "Memory management" and another one "uncompatible hardware error" or something like that.
Tldr: My computer randomly reboots, BSoDs, fucked my registry, and i don't know what to do.
I don't have Windows installation disc, someone else installed it for me, and ultimately, i'll have to take it to the store for repairs, but i want to see what i can do first. If you help, Thanks.

Why do you think it has anything to do with the controller?
Xbox pads have always continued to rumble when the computer they're connected to tells them to rumble, then crashes and never tells them to stop.

are you able to unistall things?

They're not even loaded unless the device is present, and your computer is crashing anyway.
It's time to start being scientific.

That is sensible.
How can i tell if it's either my registry or the RAMs which are fucking up?

Boot to the BIOS menu, and see if it crashes anyway
Boot Windows Setup off a USB, don't try to install anything, just leave it and and see if it crashes anyway.
Boot in safe mode, and see if it crashes anyway.
Boot to the logon screen, and see if it crashes anyway.

Safe mode doesn't crash.
Logon doesn't always crash. Currently i'm using it and it hasn't crashed. Yesterday i was using it, left it idling and it crashed.

Motioninjoy is a piece of shit, Windows repair disc/usb is easily obtainable. Any type of installation media will work. Usb key or cd. Use Rufus and download an image of your windows version. Check the iso md5 hash listed on Microsoft's website to ensure there's no unwanted shit piggybacking.

Just to be safe, completely uninstall SCP and see if that helps, it seems like the version you're using is really outdated anyway.
Open an elevated command prompt (Run cmd.exe as an adminstrator) and enter these two lines:
sc stop Ds3Service
sc delete Ds3Service
If Ds3Service isn't the right name look up what the service name for "SCP DS3 Service" is and replace it with that.
You can also look if you see any driver called "Scp Driver" or "Scp Virtual Bus Driver" or something like that:
pnputil -e
and delete it like this:
pnputil -f -d oemXX.inf
where XX is replaced with whatever number is in the driver's "Published Name". Be careful not to delete the wrong driver though.
