What steps can be taken to resolve the BSOD triggered by Event 1001 BugCheck?
My computer was recently reinstalled with Windows 11 Home and the CPU was swapped. Several components were checked because of BSODs. After the fresh install, two BSODs happened two days ago on version 6.19.25 shortly after I powered off and turned it back on. The latest BSODs appeared after I ended a video game session. The first one happened about a minute after shutdown, and the next one followed five minutes later when the PC restarted. Up to now, no BSOD has occurred in an hour.
Since the CPU replacement, I’ve been able to play games for 6 to 7 hours without issues. I haven’t crashed during any game since then. I’m seeking someone to examine my dump files to identify what might be causing this problem. I’m growing increasingly discouraged and hope this issue can be resolved. One note about the dump files: the most recent BSOD log is unavailable for my admin account. This is the only file that can’t be accessed among the four.
Here’s a link to the three BSOD dump files:

Thank you for your assistance.
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
Your desktop was recently upgraded with Windows 11 Home.
Where did you obtain the installer? Did you run the OS in offline mode? During installation, did you add all required drivers through an elevated command—such as right-clicking the installer and selecting "Run as Administrator"—while using offline mode?
When sharing a troubleshooting thread, it's important to provide full system details. Please list your specifications clearly, for example:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
RAM:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
Include the age of the PSU along with its make and model. Also, mention the current BIOS version for your motherboard. If you're replacing your CPU, explain what you were using before...
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
Your Windows 11 Home desktop was just freshly installed. Where did you get the installer from? Did you install it offline? When setting up drivers, did you use an elevated command—Right click installer > Run as Administrator—or was it in offline mode?

I ran WinDBG through your .dmp files; vgk.sys appears to be the issue. Have you tried removing your anti-cheat application and checked again?
Hello, thank you for the quick response. I had brought my computer to a repair shop nearby so they fresh installed windows. I believe they did it in offline mode via a USB because I had done a fresh install by downloading it from the internet prior and the guy said that was the wrong way to do it.

I purchased my computer almost exactly 2 years ago so that is how old the PSU is. My BIOS version/date is "American Megatrends Inc. 1820, 5/14/2025".
I ended up replacing my i9-13900K with an i9-14900K because of a few issues:
1.) I was failing CPU benchmark tests occasionally using 3DMARK.
2.) I was having trouble downloading new NVIDIA graphic drivers. The install would not complete and I could attempt it multiples times and it would randomly finally take the new driver. I tried fresh installs with DDU and manual downloads and could never get a driver to just download peacefully. When i took it to be repaired the guy fixing it tested the GPU, RAM, Motherboard... He put in a new GPU, Motherboard and when he replaced the CPU he was able to download graphic drivers. I sent my old CPU to CyberPower and they sent me back an i9-14900K as a replacement.
The guy said it could have possibly been my integrated graphics driver overwriting the NVIDIA driver or something similar to that.
Regarding my anti-cheat apps, the only one that I hate having on my computer is RIOT Vanguard so I went ahead and uninstalled it along with the RIOT Client and games. Any other anti-cheat app I can think of is baked into Steam games.
Thank you again for taking the time to look into my problem.
note: you have 14th gen intel cpu so you might want to read this:

3 bugchecks involving 3 different windows .exe, all had a call to vgk.sys driver. All taking a long time to happen.
SystemSettings.exe
StartMenuExper
SearchHost.exe
most likely this will turn out to be a bug with the vgk.sys Mon May 5 11:47:54 2025
driver. I would think the driver is using a pointer to kernel memory that is no longer owns. Windows will give the kernel memory to other processes, then The vgk.sys driver later uses the old memory address and corrupts the current owners data and the system crashes.
the only problem I saw with your build was with the nvidia gpu drivers, (different build dates) you might fully uninstall the nvida driver (gpu and gpu sound driver) and install the current version.
I did not see any corrupted windows files in the debugger.
note: you could also google how to make windows delete the pagefile.sys on shutdown, then make the registry changes and do a shutdown every day. (while you wait for a fix in the driver)
-----------------
rebooting more often is the only real fix I can think of for the vgk.sys driver until they get an update
the more memory you have in your system, then the less likely windows memory management will move data structures in memory, and the less likely you will hit this problem.
(reinstall the nvidia gpu and HDMI audio driver just to make your build less likely to have issues)
=======
you might consider removing the anti cheat software and reinstalling it. (for the case where the driver installs but the installed anticheat service does not match the driver version)
3rd bugcheck was also a stack overflow of the vgk.sys driver. (system uptime about 15 hours)
-----------
second bugcheck was also with vgk.sys driver.
system was running 1 day 15 hours
---------------
most current bugcheck looks like a stack problem with this driver:
vgk.sys Mon May 5 11:47:54 2025
vanguard anti cheat driver.
(system uptime was over 3 days)
will look to see if the I can see other problems, will take a few minutes.
