BSoD When gaming or just general usage (web browsing, etc)
I have been getting blue screens either when gaming, or just web usage, video playback in MPC-HC (software rendering), pretty much any usage. A week or so ago I did do a memtest 86+ test overnight several passes and no errors. Just 20 minutes ago I had another crash this time playing War Thunder, however my computer "hard locked", just froze no BSOD had to force shutdown. I am honestly at a bit of a loss. The blue screen for Nntoskrnl.exe and win32k.sys was when I had my anti virus installed. I since then removed it to make sure it wasn't causing any issues (ESET Anti-virus).
Some other related history:
I a few weeks ago I reformatted my computer, did a complete reinstall, and only install basic drivers, (except for nVidia and NIC), everything else came through windows update. I reformatted because I was getting consistent blue screens, several times daily, those continued through my reinstall, which I found my bios v1.9 (which was the only this I had changed recently when the issues starting) was causing the problems (I think the BIOS issue was due to the fact I didn't upgrade the Intel management engine firmware), and I am currently using BIOS B which is stock 1.0, which seems to create less problems.
I am not sure if the latest nVidia driver is at fault or if something else is going on here.
Thanks for reading, I hope I can get this resolved. I had a thread about a year ago with other BSoD issues (was related to my AV)
