    How did you get to Windows 10 on this PC? What did you upgrade from?

    Have you considered doing a Clean Install after backing up all your data and drivers?
    I had Windows 10 education installed before. I had the same issue and I first blamed the OS. Switched to my old Windows 7 but the issue was still there. Concluded that Windows is not at fault and thought there must be some sort of virus on one of my other drives. Wiped my hard drive clean and reinstalled Windows 10 education. Currently I am on that Windows 10. I have no important data on the computer just games which can be redownloaded. I can clean install again if you think that might help.

    It's worth trying a clean install. I'm leaning more toward a hardware problem but a clean install is easy to do and who knows, it may fix this problem.

    Follow this tutorial: Windows 10 - Clean Install

    If not then we have to try to figure out what hardware is causing the problem. Seems unlikely to be the GPU since you tried a Nvidia and AMD card, but who knows.

    You could also try reseating all cables, cards and memory modules.

    Alright I disassembled and reassembled everything. Even the CPU cooler with fresh thermal paste. I finally got a BSOD. I am attaching the minidumb and the zip file created by DM log creator here. If you can check them out it would be great. Thanks

    Nothing useful in the dump unfortunately.

    Please try doing a Clean Boot (not a Clean Install). See how the system runs then.
