Problem description: As the title suggests, I'm getting a variety of BSOD messages. It always occurs within 10 min of regular browsing (seems to occur more frequently when watching video) or 20-30 min of idling. Strangely though, it does not occur during gaming at all. I can play a game for hours no problem. A few of the errors I have received recently: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL- This is by far the most frequent error SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION There are other errors, but these seem to be the most frequent. One other thing to note: when running driver verifier, I do not get any BSODs. System interupt service shoots up to 60-90% CPU usage but does not crash. Attempted fixes: Clean install of Windows 10, memtest86 on each stick of RAM with no errors, chkdsk with no errors, replaced the RAM, replaced the HDD, updated BIOS to latest version, swapped RAM into different slots. I have spent most of the time focused on drivers though as that seems to be the leading cause according to Google. I have installed the latest drivers from the motherboard manufacturer, and done a clean install where I grabbed the drivers individually from the vendors. I also did a clean install of windows and let windows update grab the drivers. I am doing no overclocking whatsoever, and do not have any overclocking utilities installed. I have not touched any voltage or speed settings in the BIOS either.

That is definitely a very cheap PSU to pair with that GPU. I wouldn't be shocked if that was the issue. A few things you could try: -Run CDI to check HD health: https://osdn.net/projects/crystaldiskinfo/downloads/76547/CrystalDiskInfo8_14_2.exe/ -Upgrading to W11.

Do you have any keyboard/mouse/RGB software installed?

Update. It's been several days since I upgraded to windows 11, and the system seems way more stable. I encountered one bsod related to the nvidia driver right after installation but none since. Cautiously optimistic that this is resolved. Thanks to everyone who replied!
