BSOD happens repeatedly during game launches, particularly with Elden Ring.

I possess a Ryzen 9 5900X on a Rog Strix B550f gaming board, equipped with 64GB DDR4 RAM, an RTX 3060 12GB GPU, two NVMe SSDs, and two HDDs. The NVMe partition remains blue during boot. I'm using a Corsair RX 1000 GPU and running Windows 10 all-in-one in a Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO Black with an AIO Corsair iCUE H150i Elite Liquid CPU cooler. I'm unsure about updating the BIOS; after attempting, I needed to connect to the bottom prongs to reset CMOS. The main problem is that Elden Ring or other games always display a blue screen at startup. Possible solutions tried include updating the BIOS, but it failed to recognize USB devices in flash bios. I've experienced numerous BSODs and have a minidump that references an rcbottom.sys file. I attempted to disable it by setting its startup flag to 4, but this caused boot loops. I restored Windows after removing all AMD files and drivers via AMD Cleanup, then reinstalled everything. Now I'm uncertain about the next steps and am considering replacing the internal NVMe drive with a 5-slot NAS. P.S. Terramaster d5 -300 type C Seagate IronWolf 12TB NAS internal drive. The vision files provided are: 060925-14843-01.dmp, 061025-15140-01.dmp, 061025-15453-01.dmp, 061025-16531-01.dmp.

The BSODs typically display error codes. In the Event Viewer, you can find detailed logs related to the crash.

I've received a Bad pool caller issue, possibly related to the kernel heap. I also uploaded my dump files. The app I'm using is called Sigcheck, and I ran it through it.

You might want to check for driver updates and use DDU to remove your GPU drivers before reinstalling them. EDIT: Unable to access the minimum file since my Mac can't open it.

chipset, gpu, and network are the primary components, though you can upgrade all drivers as needed.

The danger level of DDU and volatile substances depends on the specific compound. Always follow safety guidelines and consult reliable sources for accurate information.

It's safe, it's the method we use to replace drivers between AMD and NVIDIA or vice versa, allowing us to eliminate old software and start fresh. I'd save DDU until after you install new drivers.
