I've seen a lot of people posting about random BSOD lately. I'm running into those issues as well. I'm going to try to post as much as I can in this chat, but considering my PC is random with this BSOD, I'll start with the minidump files and add to it.

I'm running MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK WIFI motherboard:

This all started recently, not really seeing any hardware failures when digging deeper. Updated BIOS to the latest. Installed latest network drivers as well from MSI.

    I finally fixed the problem once and for all after months. I was still having BSODs with Fornite DirectX 12.

    The problem is with the motherboard's automatic settings which are not adapted to the CPU.

    The solution was found on Reddit :

    Optimizing Stability for Intel 13900k and 14900k CPU’s

    I haven't had any problems since getting a new processor. But, this is an excellent response, thank you for following up! I will give this post a read and keep it in the back of my mind for when future problems (inevitably) come up

    Here is the official download website, be careful to only click one of the green Mirror links to download DDUU, the other links are not for DDU

    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Your minidump files indicate that it is the device driver on your Nvidia graphics card that is causing the system to crash

    You should completely remove the current Nvidia device driver using the widely available free DDU utility, then restart your PC and go to the Nvidia website to download and install an older version of the Nvidia device driver.

    A slightly older version of that driver is more stable than the latest version.
