Windows 10: Random BSODs only when playing games, usually CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED

Hi, I'm getting inconsistent BSODs specifically when playing games only, with most of the BSOD errors being CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED. A few times it would be UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION but that usually doesn't happen.I wish to provide minidump or dumps even but unfortunately, the BSOD screen shows up for a split second only, and half the time I need to record it to even see what the error message is, which results in a failure to create dump files, so I don't have any to share. Event viewer errors gave no insight as well since the events are those normally shown after a reboot such as previous s

Random BSOD's every 45 min or so, usually while playing games

In reference to experiencing random BSOD screens with random error codes.

Hi, so from past 20 days, I have been experiencing random BSOD while either browsing internet, or playing games. Firstly
this occurred after the insider's update I got 20 days ago; At that time, I experienced a green screen, with some error code, which I couldn't note, since you know, AUTOMATIC RESTART !!! But then
from past 2 days, the BSOD occurrences has been very frequent, like 30 minutes or so.

Some of the BSODs that I have experienced are, as follows-

1. CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED - while browsing, on the internet, &
   
2. SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION - during playing games on citra emulator.

Since, my overall windows bootup time, and core system functionalities are intact (BTW,
I also ran diagnostics and it states NO system or memory errors), I
would like to get immediate assistance over this matter, since now my system is just throwing random BSOD at any time.

BTW, I have never experienced BSOD before the last insider's update in June.

My system is DELL Inspiron 7572.

Please assist, Thanks !!
