Windows 10: Random blue screen when gaming

hello,For a few months now, I've been having problems with my computer, it keeps crashing mainly on games. It just randomly gets a drop in fps, then the fans start to ventilate a lot, and then I get a blue screen for a few seconds video_dxgkrnl_fatal_error , and I have to restart the pc. This happens randomly, sometimes after gaming for a while, other times right after turning the pc on. I believe it is graphics card related, as I get errors like this one on games: I have tried reinstalling the graphics drivers and playing around with different Nvidia driver versions, among some o

Trying to diagnose random blue screens

This is a Windows 10 Professional desktop, built seven years ago. It is starting to fail, with almost daily blue screens, and I'm trying to guess what part is failing. The candiates are naturally the motherboard, a RAM stick, or a video card.

The errors are almost always different, and there is almost never a culprit announced. Here are some examples:

• MEMORY_MMANAGEMENT
  
• IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
  
• SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
  
• KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (mcdbus.sys)
  
• SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
  

Eventually I will have to start removing all parts one by one, but I was wondering if these errors might suggest which part to check first.

 

Random apps and games crashes with error 0xc0000005 and blue screens

Since the end of July 2019 my apps and games (including windows services) have been crashing randomly, the windows event log lists these crashes with error 0xc0000005, here's an example for the game Verdun (other apps and games crash with the same error):

Faulting application name: Verdun.exe, version: 2019.2.4.15146, time stamp: 0x5d65bc48

I have also been having random blue screens with the errors PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA and CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED.

I have used windows Driver Verifier and I managed to get some blue screens that point to the clipsp.sys driver but I don't think the content of the blue screen contains everything meaningful.

The crashes do not seem to happen in Safe Mode.

In the past months I have tried almost everything:

• Clean boot
• Updated windows to latest version
• Used all tools to check integrity or corruption like sfc, chkdsk, ecc.
• Clean reinstalled windows multiple times
• Replaced RAM modules
• Replaced motherboard

The crashes still happen. Since I have no idea what is causing these crashes my next step will be replacing the CPU...
