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).

    And another BSOD, still with CPB off. KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED, but this is not important really, every time it's a new one albeit all pointing the same culprit, some are more frequent though, guess i'll start a BSOD collection. I guess i'm throwing the towel with user fixes, i think only time will fix, hopefully.

    RMAing something in my country takes decades and hardware prices are stupid. This makes absolutely no sense at all. Haven't tried disabling XMP to be perfectly honest though, ain't feeling like hampering my PC's performance even further, but i guess i have no choice.

    Sorry to say this, but there is something should get straighten about your statement:

    "For now my system is stable with practically no lose off performance."

    CPB that make your CPU get boosted to the maximum level. So without it, of course there will be performance impact on your system. CPB is kind of overclocking but with AMD max limit.

    Well, actually I got a cpu score of 7174 in 3dmark after the last chances. This is in comparison to before the change a win, when my latest scores were around 7030.And the worst score was a 6275, Just before all the chances. 

    Now this is only 1 test and I will have to run some more tests to get a clearer picture of it. But for now I'm happy with a working stable systeem.

    When clock boosting is enabled, the clocks for each core get increased on demand, that generates more heat, so when core reaches thermal limit, clock is dropped below the normal operating frequency to reduce heat faster. So during operation cores are boosted for some time, and slowed down for some time. With good cooling they can stay boosted for far longer, which gives better average performance. Without boosting all cores run on normal operating frequency, they never drop, they never increase, average performance is better than boosted version with inefficient cooling. One could manually increase the clocks to get better performance at a cost of higher temperatures...

    Glad to hear that! :)

    But for me, better I overclocked my CPU to 4Ghz (mine is 3700x) rather than disable CPB completely... At least I don't have to get much performance impact.. :D

    Finally, we have our alternative way for dealing with this **** OS!!! ;)
