Windows 10: Frequent BSOD, particularly when installing a game

I have recently been enduring a large number of bluescreens with varying error codes, I have noticed this while installing games particularly ( latest game to crash my PC was Destiny 2 ). So far I have used chkdsk, sfc and mdsched and none of them found any issues. I have tried reinstalling Nvidia drivers and Samsung Magician to no avail thus far. I have WhoCrashed installed since the first few and below will be the results from the crash dumps. I have also tried disabling Fast Start-Up and doing a complete shutdown. I have run Windows Defender to at least attempt to discover any viruses but none were found. So far everything I found has a mutual conclusion, that a faulty driver is the reason behind this. These crashes also happened without any video drivers installed.


My Specs:

i7-8700k

GTX1080

16GB Corsair Vengeance 3200MHz

beQuiet! Straight Power 11 1000W

Seagate FireCuda 1TB

Samsung 960 Pro 500GB ( System drive )


I find it doubtful that RAM usage or thermal issues were the culprits in this as I have used Task Manager as well as OpenHardwareMonitor to monitor for any issues.


Crash dumps ( some are more in-depth due to older reports being deleted, some will just be the error and file path )
