Windows 10: BSOD crashes inconsistent on Win10 21H1 (19043.1081)

Hi all, I need some guidance. I've been getting BSOD crashes very often and the stop codes are not consistent. I've seen PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (most common), KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED, and SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED. I am getting them more frequently (multiple per day) than I used to. I haven't made any recent changes (new software, new hardware) except typical Windows Updates. BSOD can happen immediately when Windows starts, opening an app (like Edge or Chrome) or when idling (I usually come back in the morning to a BSOD, I have auto-restart disabled). Speccy link: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/c...Osu7doiU3RDO6tV2 Log Collector: Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online. Typical errors are: Code: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (50) Invalid system memory was referenced. This cannot be protected by try-except. Typically the address is just plain bad or it is pointing at freed memory. Arguments: Arg1: ffffffffffffffd0, memory referenced. Arg2: 0000000000000002, value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation. Arg3: fffff805814082b6, If non-zero, the instruction address which referenced the bad memory address. Arg4: 0000000000000002, (reserved) or this one: Code: KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (1e) This is a very common BugCheck. Usually the exception address pinpoints the driver/function that caused the problem. Always note this address as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address. Arguments: Arg1: ffffffffc0000005, The exception code that was not handled Arg2: fffff8025ad0e507, The address that the exception occurred at Arg3: fffff8025f9f5118, Parameter 0 of the exception Arg4: fffff8025fa04920, Parameter 1 of the exception Here are the steps I've taken so far over the last few days (to no avail): 1. Updated to latest BIOS for MSI H270M Bazooka (v2.7). 2. Re-installed all drivers from MSI Support page (removed first, rebooted, installed latest directly from site one by one). 3. Tested memory using Windows Memory Diagnostics and memtest86. It did not find errors. I also removed RAM modules one at a time and switched slots to see if BSOD still occurs, it does. 4. Ran chkdsk, sfc, and Windows troubleshooter. 5. Ran (tried to) Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool. It shows a box saying "Please wait while we start.." and then disappears. Since that's not working, I ran OCCT with options recommended by Tom's Hardware. No errors reported on that (ran it for a few hours). 6. Uninstalled a bunch of software that I rarely use. Any ideas?

No problems here!

 

Desktop refuses to download/install latest cumulative H2 update?

I suggest that you don't bother doing anything. Just wait for the next proper Cumulative update on the next Patch Tuesday.

If you are going to persevere then I suggest you participate in
