Recurring ntoskrnl.exe crashes and BSODs on a new PC with random BugCheck causes and different drivers - help needed!

AVE...

I have a constant problem with running Windows 10 on a new PC. First crashes were caused by faulty PSU, but I replaced it already. Other components (CPU, GPU, motherboard, SSD, RAM) are brand new. I have two old hard drives too, but I use them for storage only.

I have random BSODs with random BugCheck errors, all indicating the culprit to be ntoskrnl.exe with address 3f5780. No matter what I do, I can't avoid BSODs 3-5 times a day. Things I did:

  1. DISM and SFC, multiple times. Found some corrupt files on two occasions, fixed them, no results.
  2. Driver Verifier #1, found problems with ene.sys (Gigabyte RGB Fusion and related bloatware). Cleared it all out and removed offending file. Didn\t work.
  3. Driver Verifier #2, this time it was AmdTools64.sys, removed all amd*.sys files just in case. Didn't help.
  4. Driver Verifier #3, Avast VM driver sys file this time. At that point I decided it's not the drivers, it's something else.
  5. I ran MemTest 86 on my memory (which is overclocked by XMP profile). No errors. Also state of overclocking has no effect on the BSODs.
  6. I checked temperatures, ran AIDA64 stability tests, ran Fumark test on GPU, no problems with that since PSU was replaced.
  7. Last night I ran Media Creation Tool to overwrite the entire OS. I had 3 BSODs since, including one while writing this.

I had following BugChecks (as shown by BlueScreen View):

0x0000003b (00000000c0000005, fffff8056b0087de, ffffc58c841def40, 0000000000000000)

0x00000001 (00007ff9f8a0c074, 0000000000000000, 000000000000ffff, ffff8707`88461b80)

0x00000139 (000000000000001e, ffffdd09f7f28f50, ffffdd09f7f28ea8, 0000000000000000)

0x00000139 (000000000000001e, ffffcb0f5f40cf50, ffffcb0f5f40cea8, 0000000000000000)

All logs, minidumps and last memory dump file are here:

EDIT:

Just had another BSOD. This time with XMP disabled. BlueScreen View says:

0x00000133 (0000000000000000, 0000000000000501, 0000000000000500, fffff800444fa320)

with ntoskrnl.exe+3f5780, as always. File version: 10.0.19041.685 (WinBuild.160101.0800).

    It's not. You can manually set a bit faster clock and adjust core voltage. But you need to know what you're doing because you can shorten the life of your CPU, and in some cases even damage it...

    Alright, so last Friday I went to the BIOS and changed the following settings:

    • AI Overclock Tuner [AUTO] --> [MANUAL]
    • Overclocking TVB [AUTO] --> [DISABLED]
    • Intel(R) Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 [ENABLED] --> [DISABLED]
    • Turbo Mode [ENABLED] --> [DISABLED]

    And... it worked! 3 day without a crash. I can't believe it! I'm sure it wasn't necessary to change all of those settings, I may try re-enabling some of them at some point... I think the important one was changing the AI Overclock Tuner to manual, but I wanted to just disable anything that sounded related to auto overclocking or boosting just to be safe.

    Just glad to have my PC working again. If you are having similar issues with random BSOD crashes... you may want to give this a try. If you have a different motherboard, just look for any setting related to auto boosting or overclocking.

    I have had innumerable BSoD since September 2020 on a Dell XPS 8930 i9. Dell has spent many hours trying to resolve the issue. My computer has been scanned numerous times, including the 6 hour memory scans. I have reinstalled my OS twice. Updated drivers. Installed Driver Booster to scan for driver updates. Dell replaced my motherboard at the beginning of January and the BSoD continued. I have searched on the web for possible solutions with no success. I began monitoring CPU and GPU temperatures and taking note of the precise time of the BSoD and discovered that they always happened when Acronis was backing up my computer and/or a backup was in the que. I uninstalled Acronis 9 days ago and haven't had a BSoD since. 

    When I discovered how many drivers are on my computer and how many processes are running at a given time, it is miracle the computer runs at all. I am sure glad it does though.
