Windows 10: BSOD BAD_POOL_HEADER with compute-intensive use and stress testing

Got a new Dell XPS 8930 for my photo/video editing hobby. Replaced stock RAM with 32G of Corsair Vengeance (CMK16GX4M2A2666C16) and added a Samsung 970 Pro 512GB NVMe SSD hosted by a Mailiya M.2 PCIe to PCIe 3.0 x4 adapter card. Then I got to work. When I am in the video editor, the PC restarts with no indication; and when I use the Intel XTU stress test, it gives me BSOD within minutes and *only* when I am stress-testing the CPU. The temps are high during the test (~80C to 90C) but nothing abnormal.

Foolishly, I didn't stress test or use the computer long enough with its factory hardware so I can't definitely say the issue started after I made the mods. I looked around and played with drivers etc, but no joy. Having hard time pinpointing the issue. DM logs are attached as per instructions. I'll be very grateful if someone can point me to the right direction.

Thanks,

:)

 

BSOD - BAD_POOL_HEADER?

Hi. I used to BSOD quite often when I first got my PC. However, since I stopped playing intensive games like Black Desert Online, it would only happen very, very rarely. I have recently decided to start playing a game called Black Desert Online again,
and a few hours into playing, I was reminded that I used to BSOD, as I got a BSOD with message BAD_POOL_HEADER. This was yesterday. Thinking the problem could have been Trend Micro, I since uninstalled that software. However today, I let my computer run the
game as I stepped out for an hour, came back, and thought that my mouse and keyboard weren't working. It wasn't till later that I realised that my screen was frozen, and that my headset was making a grindy noise. I had to force shut down.

I am happy to upload minidump files ect., however I am unfamiliar with the process, so any step by step process would be appreciated !
