System freeze and crash (CRITICAL_STRUCTURE_CORRUPTION (109))

My PC just experienced a crash whilst playing a game. The screen turned black and the system froze for a second. After that the system rebooted but there was no blue screen shown. A while back I also had some issues, but everything has been working fine for over a month until now.

I ran the memory dump analyser (WinDbg) which returned the following bug report:

The issues I had before were most likely caused by some errors in my RAM. I ran Memtest86 which found 1 error during the 4 pass scan. I reseated the RAM and ran Memtest86 again, which came out completely error free. And since that time, my system had no issues at all. About a week ago I updated my GPU drivers, but throughout the entire week there were no issues at all.

My system hardware is:

• ASUS ROG STRIX X570-E GAMING motherboard
  
• AMD Ryzen 7 3700X CPU
  
• Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER GAMING OC 3X 8G G
  
• CORSAIR RMx Series RM650x PSU
  
• Samsung 970 EVO 1TB M.2 SSD
  
• Corsair Vengeance LPX 2×8 GB RAM
  

I have uploaded the most recent memory dump to OneDrive Memory dump (Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.)

Any help in pinpointing the issue is greatly appreciated. If any additional details are needed, I will try to reply as soon as possible.

Hi Dave,

I've completed your aforementioned steps. My pc made 1 new minidump file, which I added to the OneDrive link in my original post (Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.). I have placed it in a subfolder named 'new dumps after forced crash'.

Please ensure Driver Verifier is now disabled.

Driver Verifier indicates it is a virtual diver associated to some software you have installed for RGB lighting that is causing the system to crash

Temporarily uninstall that software and wait to see if your system is stable.
