KMODE_Not_Handled / IRql_not_less_or_equal while encoding videos

I am using VapourSynth to encode my personal DVD's onto my PC for digital backups. And I've ran it twice but on the third time I came back and my PC has locked up hard no BSOD. Rebooted tried again, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL BSOD

Tried again, KMODE_NOT_HANDLED.

Unsure of what to make of this.

Win10
i7 10700K
EVGA GTX 980 TI
32GB Corsair Vengeance RAM
H100i Cooler

Temps spike to normal 68-70C when under full load during encode, nothing insane but then bam BSOD.

Hello ReconBunny

The crash dumps are not revealing any problems with drivers but I am wondering if the crashes might be related to memory address issues. You are running with memory overclocked for the CPU processor you are using. The Intel i7-10700K requires memory at 2933MHz. Yours is set to operate at 3200MHz. Please remove the XMP settings in the BIOS or adjust to a maximum clock speed of 2933MHz and see if this makes a difference.

That fixed it, I legit forgot I went in there and messed with stuff. Thanks

Was this second-pass encoding that failed? If true, unstable CPU core(s). Second-pass, unlike first-pass, is a major core workout! First-pass is a RAM and RAM-controller workout. "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" BSOD and random freezes are unstable CPU core(s) in my experience. Usually only occurs with manual core overclocking. Not enough Vcore when overclocking core(s) can cause most of the symptoms you have.

I had both RAM and CPU tweaks, unfished at that. But all defaulted, works fine now.
