I am having these 5 blue screen of deaths ONLY when im editing on After Effects:

1. kmode exception not handled
2. Memory management
3. irql not less or equal
4. ntfs.sys system service exception
5. PFN list corrupt
Update! 6th just appeared : Attempted write to read only memory

what do all of them link to? I am no expert

also both my integrated and non integrated Gpus were turned off by my windows during one of my video editings and everytime i plug in a USB my entire pc becomes slow until i restart

Checking Ram with MemTest yelded no errors, Checking Hard Drives with HdTunePro showed 1 damaged sector in my Editing Drive

My Specs are: MSI CARBON WIFI X670E, NVIDIA 3080, 32gb of DDR5 Ram, Amd ryzen 9 7950x

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

Following that, please pass on the .dmp files for us to take a look at.

Moved thread from Motherboards section to Systems section.

If the problem only occurs on one program, then I would suspect something related to that program. Perhaps reinstalling? Is your hardware compatible with the requirements for this program?

I noticed its happening with Vegas and Photoshop too, all of these programs are on the same drive tho, the one that has a damaged sector. Could a bad hard drive cause GPU to disconnect?
 
My recommendation when dealing with persistent BSODs is to run a memory test. memtest86 is the preferred method, run off a USB stick at boot. Windows also has a built-in memory tester (Windows Memory Diagnostic) you can schedule to run after a restart, though it's considered less reliable.

4/4 memtest found no problems which is why im at a loss
 
No, the faulty drive is seperate from OS but it is where all my editing work softwares are on
Does the issue occur only when the software from the bad drive is running? That could also cause these errant BSODs. Either way, if an HDD has even a single error, its time to replace it because it can cause issues and the data on it is worth more than a new drive if its how you make money, or spend your free time.

yes it happens only when software from this drive is running, i was going to replace it this weekend but the store delivered me new nvme unpackaged and without a heatsink so ill need to wait a bit longer before i can try it with a new nvme. I did order a new motheboard i might install it tommorow ( though its packaging was opened by the store so i dont trust it )
