Windows 10: BSOD while gaming

I recently performed a fresh install of Windows 10 not an upgrade. I rarely had this issue with windows 7 on the same PC. I can stream videos and movies with no issue. But any time I play any game I get a BSOD. It starts with a system service exception, then goes into a loop of IRQL not less or equal, driver IRQL not less or equal, system thread exception not handled, and kernal security check BSOD while loading for about 30 minutes, then loads normally. I have updated windows with the latest updates, updated my motherboard with the latest updates, and updated my video card with the latest updates. I performed a memory check, and sfc/scannow with 0 errors found. I am at a loss of where to go from here.


Here are my system specs

self built PC


ASUS 970 gaming pro motherboard

AMD FX 8350 8 core processor 4.00GHz

4 x 8GB RAM gskill ripjaws

ASUS Strix GEFORCE GTX 970

Windows 10 Home OS Build 19041.388


I have dxdiag file, and msinfo files available if needed, and I can also pull crash dump files if needed.


Thank you

BSOD while playing games

Should I activate verifier for all drivers or only for unsigned drivers?
