Windows 10: PC consistently BSODs specifically whenever not playing games

Hello! I've been going crazy trying to figure out what is wrong with my PC. I have updated drivers, stripped out unnecessary drivers, done scan after scan, run memtest, taken it to shops, completely wiped it, and more. I sadly though am not THAT versed on computers so I have no other idea what to do.Basically my PC will consistently BSOD any time I only have something like Chrome, Discord, or Steam running. If I have a game running it seems to be fine. It has been this way for about a year now. The error codes are pretty different. I've seen a kmode exception, driver irql, special pool detecte

BSOD Whenever Playing Games

Whenever I am playing games sometimes my PC will BSOD. I get a couple different types of errors like SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION and KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED just to name a few. I've had this issue for years but it used to happen very infrequently but
now it will happen on specific games consistently.

I've tried doing a chkdsk which repaired some stuff but didn't fix the issue. I've also tried sfc /scannow. All my drivers are up to date as well. I was trying to use driver verifier which caused DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION 2 times then it said
"detecting issues" then "repairing" with my motherboard's logo above it but I'm not sure what to do next.
