[UNSOLVED] BSOD when launching games (and more?)

Over the past week or two, I have been having BSOD issues with my fairly new, one year old PC. I initially had those issues quite bad, being unable to even get past BIOS but after disabling 'Intel Turbo Boost' in BIOS settings, the PC turned on and worked well for a week.


However, the BSODs returned yesterday, seemingly for no reason. I don't think there has been any update, unless some are done automatically, I was simply playing a game online (Black Desert Online) and suddenly I got a BSOD.


What I've done since the BSOD:

  1. Performed a Prime95 test - no issues
  2. Performed a Memtest86 test - no issues
  3. Performed a Furmark test - no issues
  4. Reinstalled Windows from scratch
  5. Went to device manager and clicked to update every single thing on there - a couple of things updated but still BSOD


So after the above, the current issue is as follows:

The PC is booting up without any issues, I'm browsing the internet with no issues, watching streams, videos etc. with no issues. However, as soon as I launch a game (tried both Black Desert Online and installed Fortnite to check another game) I either get the game to crash and return to desktop or I get a freeze and BSOD. I also had two occasions when I was updating a driver or performing something other than launching a game and got a BSOD. One of the occasions was when I had to update .Net framework and got a BSOD (DPC watchdog violation) although I don't think the particular update had anything to do with the BSOD. When updating some other driver, I also got a 'Page fault in a non paged area' stopcode.


I'm not really an expert with PCs and simply follow online advice, but with the above details in mind and all the tests I've done on hardware, I felt like hardware doesn't seem to be a problem and it's likely software issue. However, I don't know how to identify what software/driver causes the problem and how to fix it...


Lastly, I uploaded my two most recent mini dumps here - 042820-6937-01.dmp and 1 more file



Hoping someone can help.
