Turning OC off on FX8350
Turning OC off on FX8350

Yes, thats the one.
The sympthoms I've seen were severe game crashes (all of them with mostly Access violation or Invalid pointer errors) and some rare random bsod's. Their occurance frequency varies with OC settings, so I just figured it must have been it.
If you reset the BIOS to its default settings, there should be no OC involved. Like I say, Turbo Mode isn't really OC'ing. It is simply increasing the clock speed of some cores when others aren't needed. At any rate, there's no reason you would need to disable TM if you aren't OC'ing the processor yourself.
Your symptoms don't necessarily point to an OC'ing issue, and wouldn't be caused by OC'ing if you don't in fact OC. How is the rest of your system for software conflicts? Run CCleaner and do the Clean and Registry portions both.

Then get rid of poorly written malware that may causing the crashes with something like Malwarebytes: https://www.malwarebytes.org/antimalware/
Finally, if you have a lot of stuff sitting in your tray, disable as much as possible. Everything starting with Win steals clock cycles and has potential for producing a software conflict.

Wow, I'll try all that, thanks.
Also, I've noticed my bus speed is on 199.7 all the time, while it was supposed to be 200. Could that be a reason of the problem or does it even matter?
It doesn't matter. 200 MHz is just a round number. My AMD boards have all run from 199.x to 200.x MHz.
I executed the memtest on each stick and found no errors.
I reset the BIOS configuration.
Then I removed the Realtek drivers, used ccleaner, and reinstalled them.
After a long gametest lasting around eight hours—sometimes I left it running for an hour or two before checking again—I didn’t see any crashes.
That was a moment of relief, especially since recently I experienced a crash (0xc0000005) followed by a BSOD involving dxgmms1.sys. I reinstalled the drivers, reset the BIOS, and so on. Now I still encounter crashes, but they occur roughly every five minutes.
Could there be a method to verify driver integrity? Or are we left to rely on observation?
P.S. It seems the BSOD happened on the same day I disabled the turbo mode; I forgot to do that before.
I was offline for a while but checked the disk and found no errors.
Here’s a brief summary:
1) Harddrive and RAM were inspected for issues.
2) Drivers were reinstalled.
3) BIOS settings were reset to default.
Despite this, crashes have increased significantly—occurring every few minutes now, not just in games. All crashes show the same exception code, c0000005. I also experienced several BSODs with mostly 0x50 error (PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA) involving dxgmms1.sys. WhoCrashed couldn’t pinpoint the faulty module or driver.
Now that I’ve mentioned this, I’m considering reinstalling the graphics drivers and DirectX again. However, I’m still unsure if this will resolve the problem.
I’d really appreciate any suggestions from you all. Thanks for your time and help.
