Hi all, I was sent here after troubleshooting this problem on my own. I've recieved a Windows blue screen while gaming (path of Exile). It happens 15 or so minutes into the gameplay.

Here is the minidump file (REMOVED)

I've already tried: updating nvidia drivers (RTX 2060), "updating" my SATA drivers and performing a mem86 test.

Any help is appreciated. Also I am new to this forum and hope I tagged this support request appropriately. Thank you!

    Try perform a Clean Boot and see if the problem persist?
    Take a look at:

    If not enable services one by one to identify which one causing this problem.
    Try update your game.
    Open start and search for feedback and open the Feedback Hub app and report this issue and attach dump files.

    The mini dump file was just removed.

    Was the only step performed a clean boot?

    Has the BSOD resolved or reoccurred?
