Windows 10: Sudden frequent freezes, some with BSOD and stop codes, some with the screen completely...

Hi all,My new gaming PC running on Windows 11 purchased 6 months ago has been working perfectly up till this week, when it suddenly started freezing for no apparent reason. I first thought it was because I was playing a game which wouldn't have made sense either way as the game's required specs are well below my computer's own specs, and has been working perfectly for 6 months, but it started freezing even when I'm just browsing the web or watching a video.For the times that I've gotten BSODs which isn't always the case, sometimes the screen just freezes and I have to turn the computer of

Increasingly frequent BSODs, stop codes change each time

Thank you all for your replies! I'm slowly working through each step but I have a few questions: @Samuria Is there a particular malware scan you would recommend? Is Malwarebytes okay? @zbook When I looked up how to move the pagefile it led me to this (this was before I started tinkering with it):

Am I understanding correctly that this means the pagefile was already on C:? I was also able to locate the actual file on C: but could not find the same on D:

Anyhow I have changed it so it looks like this now (I wasn't sure how big to make it):

Is this correct? Should I change the sizes? And for step 5), just to clarify is this asking me to reinstall Windows completely? Sorry I'm not sure what exactly "install to desktop" means, I'm reluctant to wipe Windows completely at this point but I can if you think it's required. Here are the links for step 3): Tuneup.log - Google Drive RAM_info.txt - Google Drive @ubuysa My apologies, I was under the impression that Windows automatically searches and updates these drivers for me. I'll go ahead and update all the ones you've linked now! I already updated the nvidia drivers when I reinstalled with DDU last night, but a BSOD did happen when I initially tried to reinstall after uninstalling, would it be worth doing this again? This is the currently installed version:

Also when you say "The tcpip.sys and NETIO.sys drivers are Windows drivers (so not at fault)" and "The kbdclass.sys is a Windows keyboard class driver, so it's not at fault", what do you mean by it's not at fault? I will try to run Memtest86 tonight. Also should I keep uploading new minidump files as they happen? Thank you everyone!! Update: I just checked the pagefile settings again after restarting my PC and it seems to have reverted back to its previous size (10gb) and state (system managed)... Is this normal? Update 2: I just tried to create a system restore point for step 4) and it gave me this:

I don't know what this means... but I have seen this VSS thing before in Event Viewer as I mentioned in my first post

 

Random BSODs and freezing, most commonly DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

I've been getting BSODs and a lot of freezing recently and it's been getting more and more frequent. They can happen at any time such as when I'm gaming or when I'm just browsing the internet. The freezing definitely seems to be related because it's been getting worse as the BSODs have become more frequent. Sometimes everything will just stop loading and everything freezes for a few seconds, or sometimes it just completely stops and I have to do a hard shutdown. With the blue screens, the most common stop code seems to be DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL but there have been a few others show up.

I've updated any outdated drivers, ran a malware scan, ran chkdsk and used Crystal Disk Info to check the health of my SSD. See screenshot below.

Constant BSOD even on stock default

As others have addressed, we need the BSOD code, looks something like OxO.....124 or similar.
Without the code or the error listed above the stop code, we are all just taking pot shots at your issue.

I agree if its all of a sudden, its likely ram and as Frick addressed, its very easy to test and verify with memtest 86+ in DOS.
