PC crashing to BSOD while playing Monster Hunter Wilds

As a bit of a prelude, about a week ago I experienced issues with Windows 11. I upgraded from Windows 10 a year ago without doing a clean install, and a week ago my Windows 11 install got corrupted. One day File Explorer stopped working and after doing a reboot, all I'd get would be a black screen, even in safe mode. I tried to repair it through sfc and a bootable USB to no avail. I ended up having to reinstall the OS.

Before those issues, I could play Monster Hunter Wilds just fine.

Now to the present. I've reinstalled Windows 11 and all the latest drivers for my system. I've tried other games and VR and have yet to experience a blue screen or crash in those. Whenever I play monster Hunter Wilds though, after 15-30 minutes I usually get a BSOD. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My PC specs:

Intel Core i5-12600k

CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MHz ASUS PRIME Z790-P RTX 3080 12GB

    Hi! after doing a bit more digging, I came across a single Reddit thread about someone experiencing a similar issue. They said downgrading their Nvidia drivers fixed their crashes. As a last ditch effort, I also uninstalled the latest drivers (572.70) through DDU and rolled back to the previous version (572.60). I'm not exactly sure as to why this would've fixed the problem, but I have yet to experience a single BSOD after rolling back last night!

    I'll update the thread if I experience a crash again, but so far this seems to have fixed the issue. Hopefully this helps in case anyone else encounters the same problem.

    Thank you again for your help Dave, very much appreciate it!

    They should all be managed automatically through Windows, only my mouse and keyboard use specific drivers that need to be downloaded and installed manually. Which would be the best way of re-installing the others? Would just uninstalling them through the device manager be good enough?

    Wow, that is a lot of USB devices.

    If any of those USB devices require specific drivers to be installed, it would be best to uninstall them, then go to the manufacturers website to download and install the latest version of the drivers they provide.

    Hi, thank you for taking a look.

    I have many devices connected to my USB ports. I currently have a USB hub with a generic Bluetooth dongle and 2 other VR specific Bluetooth dongles. I have a second USB Hub where my VR headset is connected via USB, as well as my mouse and headphones dongles. I also have 2 other VR specific dongles and my keyboard plugged directly into the motherboard.

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

    Two of your minidump files indicate the USB drivers are causing your system to crash, the other two indicate generic errors.

    What device(s) are connected to the USB ports when your system crashes.
