    Did you do a custom install of only the NVidia graphics driver and the PhysX driver after running DDU?

    Edit: The last dump from 9/6 at 10:55PM shows memory_corruption. This is usually a driver problem but can bbe defective memory. I now you installed new memory but I would suggest running memtest86+ for a minimum of 8 passes just in case one of the new memory modules is defective, which does happen once in a while. Please do use memtest86+.
    ===================================================
    Follow this tutorial: MemTest86+ - Test RAM - Windows 10 Forums

    MemTest86+ is a diagnostic tool designed to test Random Access Memory (RAM) for faults. MemTest86+ will verify that:

    • RAM will accept and keep random patterns of data sent to it
    • There are no errors when different parts of memory try to interact
    • There are no conflicts between memory addresses


    Memtest86+ runs from bootable media to isolate the RAM from the system, no other components are taken into account during the test.

    warning   Warning
    MemTest86+ needs to run for at least 8 passes to be anywhere near conclusive, anything less will not give a complete analysis of the RAM.


    If you are asked to run MemTest86+ by a Ten Forums member make sure you run the full 8 passes for conclusive results. If you run less than 8 passes you will be asked to run it again.

    Note   Note
    MemTest86+ has been known to discover errors in RAM in later passes than the eighth pass. This is for information only; if you feel there is a definite problem with the RAM and 8 passes have shown no errors feel free to continue for longer.


    Running 8 passes of MemTest86+ is a long and drawn out exercise and the more RAM you have the longer it will take. It's recommended to run MemTest86+ just before you go to bed and leave it overnight.

    Take a picture when done and post in the forum please.

    If that doesn't show any problems then I would suggest running Driver Verifier, see if it shakes out any driver problems.

    ===================================================
    Driver Verifier
    is a diagnostic tool built into Windows 10, it is designed to verify both native Microsoft drivers and third party drivers. Driver Verifier's verification process involves putting heavy stress on drivers with the intention of making bad, outdated, incompatible or misbehaving drivers fail. The required result is a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) which will generate a crash dump for debugging purposes.
    Machines exposed to Driver Verifier may run very sluggishly due to the stress being applied to the drivers.

    Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable in Windows 10

    Pay close attention to PART TWO and make sure the correct boxes are checked.

    Warning:
    It is not advised to run Driver Verifier for more than 48 hours at a time. Disable Driver Verifier after 48 hours or after receiving a BSOD, whichever happens soonest.

    Always create a Restore Point prior to enabling Driver Verifier so you have a way to recover if it goes haywire. Seldom does but it can happen.

    What we're looking for is a verifier generated BSOD with a mini dump that will tell us what driver caused it. If you get a BSOD, rerun the log collector and upload the resulting zip file.

    Hey,

    Sorry for the long hiatus. I had holidays from work and was not home to test.
    This last week however I did and ran memtest86 on all my ram sticks one by one.
    They all gave errors with the newest one (I bought it like 3 months ago) giving the most errors the fastest.
    I ran verifier but as my game often freezes this didn't pinpoint to either again the l1c63x64.sys which I have updated to the latest version and nvlddmkm.sys which refers to my video card.

    I am out of ideas really. I think of returning that latest ram stick but I am pretty sure something else is corrupting the ram sticks.

    Did you test all the RAM sticks in the same motherboard slot? If so it could be the motherboard slot that is faulty. You need to test the RAM in different slots to try and eliminate whether it is the slot or the RAM stick that is faulty.

    No I tried several slots. I had one who passed one full pass last week and I was able to continue gaming without any problems for 3 days straight. I get into a discord chat and my problem is back (regardless of running discord). Ran memtest again and now it gives me errors. Put that one in another slot to try again but same problem.

    I also have another problem last 2 days. When I am gaming sometimes my mouse just stops responding but only the tracking. The mouse buttons and scroll just function normally. This usually takes a couple seconds before everything is back to normal but as you probably can understand it's quite infuriating.

    If memtest86 is showing up errors and you can rule out the slots then you need to get new memory modules. We expect the modules to be error free for 8 passes before we accept that they are free of errors.

    I understand but could it be that the problem lies deeper? I now already have 3 broken RAM sticks with the last one going awry like instantly when it was put in. Felt no difference in terms of bsods.
    I guess I could RMA the last ram stick and test again.

    Since you're a gamer, are you over clocking? What about memory timings and voltages? Please set everything to nominal values and test some more.

    Ignore this if you've already answered this. I didn't see anything about it in your previous posts.

    I don't overclock no. I do admit of tinkering in the bios but that was only after the bsods started. I will set everything default (if it's not already).

    Okay so I rma'd my last ram-stick and got a replacement.
    I first checked the new one with memtest86 and after one hour and a half without errors I switched it off.
    Played a couple of games but had another crash: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.

    Ran prime95 and also crashed after 5 mins...

    Any suggestions?
