Windows 10: Frequent game crashes and BSODs

My PC has been suffering from just about every BSOD error code occasionally and nearly all of my games crash shortly after startup. This issue has persisted for a few weeks now, and I'm running out of options.


-The "sfc /scannow" command in Command Prompt is able to complete the verification phase then immediately displays "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation."


-I am unable to install any Windows updates, the updater keeps throwing the error code "0x80071a91".


-I have individually updated all of the drivers for all the devices in Device Manager.


-I have tried using the DISM functionality in Command Prompt, but it says that it cannot locate a source to repair the disk. I tried using both Windows Installation Media and the install.wim and install.esd on separate mounted USB drives as the source, but DISM still says it can't locate a source.


-I have tried to repair the PC on startup while booting from Windows Installation Media, to which I get the message "Startup Repair couldn't repair your PC."


-I have checked both of my sticks of RAM individually as well as the RAM slots and they do not seem to be the issue. I have also run the memory checker with no issues detected.


-As a last resort, I wiped my SSD and did a completely fresh install of Windows 10 twice, and thenrepeated all the steps above both times.


-I have since updated my BIOS as well.


I assumed that a fresh install of Windows would completely solve these issues, but I guess not. I am fairly certain that it is not a hardware error, but I'm not sure what else it could be at this point.



To summarize, my games are only playable for around a minute before crashing and my PC has BSODs multiple times a day. I have exhausted all the options that I can find so far with no luck and I am at my wits' end. Does anyone have any other advice on how to fix this or what the issue could possibly be?

Games Freeze Frequently / BSOD

World of Warcraft freezes frequently for up to a minute at times. The game crashed once, resulting in a BSOD.

 

all games crash!

I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
What happens?
If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
What X1800XT model do you own exactly?

 

Computer frequently crashing/BSOD when playing FFXIV

Hi, I've been having some problems playing FFXIV with my computer. After playing for 10-15 minutes, the computer will crash with a BSOD, and each time it has listed different errors, although frequently the cause has been listed as either ntoskrnl.exe or
ntkrnlmp.exe. The methods that I have tried are:

-Updated Windows and all drivers. Game still crashed after updates.

-Memtest86+. No corrupt memory indicated.

-sfc /scannow in Command Prompt. No problems there.

-chkdsk /r C: in Command Prompt. No problems there.

-Checked hardware temperatures. Temperatures nominal.

-Tried driver verifier. I found one program (ScpVBus.exe) that was listed as causing some of the crashes. I removed that but still receive crashes.

I'll post links to the mini dumps and my system configuration below. Thanks in advance for any posts or advice given.
