BSOD with multiple stop codes

• Problem
  

The problem is that I get a blue screen of death (BSOD) frequently for a few months now, and it increases in frequency once I've had the first one. For example, if I leave my computer on for a while, it'll run normally for a few hours before I get my first BSOD. After I get a BSOD, I get a lot more afterward over the period of 30 mins - 1 hour. The stop codes I get are different every time so there's no way of saying which one I get the most.

• Problem history
  

I don't remember exactly when I had this problem or what triggered it. But at the time I hadn't changed any hardware components or installed new software. However, I used to only get the stop code IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. After some attempts of troubleshooting, I started getting all the stop codes besides IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL to this moment. I don't remember which step exactly of troubleshooting triggered this change though.

• Specs:
  

1. Windows: Windows 10 x64
   
2. Motherboard: Asus Strix B450-F Gaming
   
3. CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600
   
4. Memory: Corsair CMK32GX4M2E3200C16 Vengeance LPX 32 GB
   
5. Hard disks: KINGSTON SA400S37240G / WDC WD10EZEX-21WN4A0
   
6. Graphics card: MSI GeForce RTX 3060 GAMING X
   
7. Power supply: don't remember exact model but it's Corsair 550W
   

• Troubleshooting:
  

1. Changed GPU (from GTX 1060 to current)
   
2. Changed RAM
   
3. Turned D.O.C.P off
   
4. Turned D.O.C.P on
   
5. Updated all drivers (chipset, graphics, etc..)
   
6. Updated BIOS
   
7. memtestx86 (no errors)
   
8. CheckHealth
   
9. Updated windows
   
10. Installed fresh windows (wiped everything) and reinstalled all drivers.
    
11. Tried different RAM that I am sure is not faulty
    

• Notes:
  

1. I tried installing fresh windows multiple times and I noticed that every time I get insanely many BSODs before I install the chipset driver. Then it returns to normal frequency as stated in the 'problem' section.
   
2. Every time I check the performance monitor I see the message below or something similar:
   
   
   
   

 

Auto HDR stopped working with Fornite

If other games are working with HDR means, problem issues from fornite, so try to change the gameplay and advanced settings in fornite.

Or help from fornite customer care if available.
