BSOD's almost every 6-7 hours of runtime on my PC

CPU: Intel i7-4770

GPU: Sapphire Radeon RX580 8GB

RAM: 4GBx4 16 GB DDR3-1600mhz

MOBO: MSI Z97 Gaming 3

SSD/HDD: Apacer 120GB SSD, Toshiba 1.8 TB HDD

PSU: Thermaltake 750W Smart BX1

I updated Windows a week ago and before that I didnt encounter any problems. For the whole week i've been using my PC with BSOD's atleast once or twice a day. I have also been troubleshooting mostly following youtube videos from a guy names MDTech and i think its working because the error code changes most of the time. It mostly happens when im browsing the web, watching youtube and watching a friend on Discord share screen. Never happened when im playing pretty intensive games like Squad

I noticed that it happens around every 6-7 hours of running my PC. Also noticed "Performance power management features on processor 0-7 in group 0 are disabled due to a firmware problem." happens before BSOD in event viewer.

Here are the things i've done in order so far

  • Updated BIOS
  • Updated Chipset and Intel Management
  • Updated GPU drivers to latest version
  • Ran sfc /scannow
  • Thought it was the GPU so I ran DDU and rollbacked to the version before I installed Windows on thinking it would work
  • Deleted Killer Network software
  • Ran Windows Memory Diagnostics, Passed
  • Disabled Intel Management Engine Interface in device manager.
  • Disabled EIST in BIOS

Here are some examples of the BSOD's ive been encountering for the past few days.

Here are my minidumps

    Hi nailedzz

    Those drivers may be up to date, they may also be corrupt, it would be best to re-install them, because they were named in the minidump files.

    Hi nailedzz

    I am Dave, I will help you with this, your minidump files indicated the following two drivers as contributing to the crashes

    farflt.sys which is part of MalwareBytes

    sshid.sys, which is the SteelSeries keyboard or mouse driver

    You should completely uninstall MalwareBytes temporarily and update the SteelSeries drivers and wait to see if your system stabilizes.
