Getting occasional BSOD gaming - SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
Hi there,
First time posting so apologies for any mistakes.
I'm getting BSODs occasionally while running games and once or twice while trying to load up a game.
I did a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro using the reset pc functionality built into Windows, have installed all Windows updates and drivers (including lastest graphics driver), running a legit copy of Windows. I also updated my BIOS to the latest version.
This solved some of my issues and has reduced the frequency of BSOD but they are still occurring. For example, I couldn't get more than a few mins into an Apex Legends game without a crash. Now that game has not crashed in an hour or so of playing.
It does not seem to be related to the 'intensity' of gaming or graphical settings. For example 'For the King' has given me a BSOD, but then so has 'Destiny 2' or 'The Outer Worlds' sometimes when nothing is really happening in terms of in-game action. Some games seem fine, for example, 'League of Legends' has not BSOD once while running but has a couple of times when I have tried to open the client/launcher.
I will attach here the zip of my log as requested in the posting instructions. Attachment 276968
Looking in my minidump folder I only have 2 dumps (2 BSOD since fresh Windows install). I assume this will be in the zip?
I have looked at the errors in WinDbg but honestly, I don't know much of what I'm looking at. I know my way around code and computers but not sure how to debug these errors so any help would be greatly appreciated.
My core pc specs if helpful:
Mobo: MSI B450 Tomohawk (latest BIOS)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (3.6ghz)
GPU: GeForce RTX 2070 Super (Palit Jetstream)
RAM: 2x 8GB Corsair DDR4 3200Mhz
Storage: Sabrent Rocket SSD NvMe 1TB
Edit - OS: Windows 10 Pro
Once again, any help greatly appreciated! Happy to post more info as needed.
