Windows 10: Encoutered 6 BSODs in 2 days

Hi, it's quite bad that I encountered 6 BSODs in 2 days. I collected all 6 dump files related to these 6 BSODs and the Onedrive link is as follows. Hopefully someone can tell me what these 6 dump files have in common and what causes the BSODs? I'm wondering whether it is about software or hardware, and what I need to do next. Thanks a lot.https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqbxFj6WvBI4grc9oBdHP6bAJebmxA?e=tY543l

BSODs of various types since the last 6 days

hi,

i experience BSODs of various types for a few days now and cant really pin point them to a cause.

what happened so far:

1. the system got installed in july 2012 since then its running mostly flawlessly
2. i had 2x NTFS corruption issues that i solved by restoring to a prev. backup.
   • The drives are fine, so at least tells me the monitoring tool i have a running
   • the latter one was in dec 2017
3. the current BSODs started 8 days ago and happen during very different activities
4. my 1st action was to uninstalled NVIDA drivers (GF 960) and am running with the stockdrivers that come with win update. the ratinal was that it happened more often with games (that my children play) then anywhere else, but no luck - still getting BSODs
   
5. trying to research the causes led me to nothing, so i resorted to restoring my 1st backup onto a fresh SSD, that i made right after having completed installing the system with all the utils and drivers
   
6. having seen that there are some memory management BSODs i tested (memshed) the RAM with standard settings (2 passes) but that didnt yield anything either
7. however, trying to just run the windows update on the 6 year old state brought me 3 BSODs, so its fairly safe to conclude that is likely not the drivers, nevertheless i enabled the verifier tool according to Redirecting
   and maybe this will yield some intel
8. if u could have a look @ the dump files that would be great and even more so, that results in some tips on how to remedy the problem.
   • they are to be found @ Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online., containing 2 zips one for the current running system, the other from the restored backup
9. ATM i'm installing a more recent backup from april onto the new SSD and want to see if things are there bad the same way
10. 2 suspicions i have and maybe u could add ur 2cts:
    1. my system has come of age and there is some faulty hard ware causing the trouble
    2. there are a few meltdown/spectre related patches (and also others) that didnt go thru. could it be that i need to apply some bios patch or smth?

BSOD: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

I have been getting random BSOD (DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL - Source: nwifi.sys) in the last 3 days. They seem to only appear when playing videos on YouYube, but it might be a coincidence.

What has changed in the last 3 days?

Nothing on the laptop itself. I plugged in a new keyboard and mouse (both USB), and a USB hub (USB-C).
I also installed new drivers for the Intel Graphics and "Intel(R) Dynamic Platform and Thermal Framework Manager" as suggested by Dell Driver Updater, but this was an attempt to fix the BSOD, which already happened before updating these drivers.

What are the laptop info and specs?

• Text version: MEGA
  
• Speccy version (can be imported into Speccy): MEGA
  
• MsInfo32 Output: MEGA
  

Most recent dump files?

This is the content of C:\Windows\Minidump: (all 3 are the most recent BSOD dumps and match with the date and time of the BSODs)

MEGA

What have you tried?

I have checked with the Dell System Detect utility to see if all the drivers were up to date; 2 weren't and I updated them (as written above) but that didn't solve the issue.

I have cleaned the system Registry with the CCleaner utility, but that didn't solve the issue.

What can I do?

EDIT:

Upon suggestion, I updated the killer drivers.
All seemes fine of a while, then, after the laptop went to suspended state, I noticed the external mouse stopped working, while the touchpad worked.
After plugging and unplugging, I rebooted.
Laptop stuck to reboot for 6 min (usually takes 6 seconds) then BSOD: DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE.

Mouse stopped working 2 days ago

Hi,

There are a lot of possible reasons for this matter to occur. One possible cause is your
drivers
might be
outdated
or the issue is within the
device/hardware
itself. However, we need to make sure that it is the case. To isolate the issue, we have
some questions for you:

• 
  Were there any changes made before the issue occurred?
  
• 
  Have you tried downloading and installing the latest driver update available in your computer/laptop manufacturer's
  website?
  
• 
  Have you tried using the device to another computer?
  
• 
  What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
  

We suggest that you perform these
methods of troubleshooting
and check if there are any changes:

Method 1: Run Hardware and Device Troubleshooter.

To run the Troubleshooter, follow these steps:

• 
  On the search bar, type
  Troubleshooting
  and hit
  Enter.
  
• 
  Choose
  Hardware and Sound.
  
• 
  Click on
  Hardware and Devices
  to run the
  Troubleshooter.
  

Method 2: Update your drivers.

To know how to update your drivers, click
here.

Method 3:
Run SFC Scan.  

SFC
will
scan
and
run
an
automatic repair
to any
corrupted system files
that it will detect. We suggest that you perform it twice. To run an
SFC scan, follow these steps:  

• 
  Run
  Command Prompt as Administrator.  
  
• 
  Type
  sfc /scannow
  and hit
  Enter.   
  

If the issue persists, we suggest that you contact your
Device Vendor manufacturer
for further assistance.

Update us on how it goes.

Regards.
