Windows 10: Frequent Freezing and Blue Screens of Death

Hi all,

I've been having some issues with my Windows 10 PC lately, and I'm hoping you can help. I get frequent blue screens when doing almost anything on my computer. It seems to come in waves sometimes, with multiple happening in one day and then none for a couple days. I've also experienced freezing where my cursor locks up and I have no option but to restart manually. The error codes on the blue screens have been widely varied and not very helpful overall. As far as solutions go, I've done the things I've seen recommended online, including updating drivers in device manager, running memory diagnostics, resetting BIOS to default, and uninstalling recent third party apps. I've uninstalled some drivers that I thought may be causing the problem, but no luck. I do think the source is a driver, because when I ran driver verifier and attempted to restart, I could not even boot into Windows before crashing. As a result, I wasn't able to generate any dump files with the verifier still running. As far as hardware goes, I haven't made any recent changes that should be causing issues.

Any recommendations about identifying the problem besides what I've already listed would be greatly appreciated. I can also provide more information if needed.

Blue screen of death

I often get blue screen of death, freezing and tearing screen. Mostly when using Microsoft Edge. Will maybe freeze then jerk back into use 3 or 4 times before the blue screen and the need to restart. Also before restart the Favourites/Reading List/History/Downloads
pulls out but returns if I attempt to click anything and have to open another Edge window to use. Please help. I read that it may be a driver causing this and found an article to include minidumps. hope this helps.
