Hello so i've been looking around for a solution and still haven't found one yet :-( I recently updated my drivers and had a problem with a BSOD.

I took the advice of someone on here and used amd cleanup utility to remove all the old AMD drivers and then installed the newest drivers onto my computer.

Unfortunately that didn't work and I am still getting a BSOD that says "CRITICAL STRUCTURE CORRUPTION" with the code 0x00000109 and it blamed the driver ntoskrnl.exe

GPU: Saphire R9 290 CPU: Intel i5 4460 MOBO: MSI H81M-P33 OS: Windows 10 64 BIT

Can someone please help me? I'm at a total loss and have no idea what else to try/do.

windows being suicidal? I have my doubts :)

You see, NTOSKRNL is the heart of windows, it stands for New Technology Operating System Kernel, its job is to deal with drivers and given the last driver you changed was the AMD one, it should be clear what caused it. That could be too simple though and we should check

Can you download and run this: http://www.resplendence.com/whocrashed
it looks at error logs and will create a summary

Copy/paste results in here.

What I also suggest is check to see if there is a new BIOS and run Driver Booster to see if it finds any new drivers as it might be updating the AMD drives leaves another driver missing some functions and requiring an upgrade.

This was probably caused by the following module: ntkrnlmp.exe (nt!KeBugCheckEx+0x0)
Bugcheck code: 0x109 (0xA3A01F58CEF91A4C, 0xB3B72BDF2179D37D, 0x6, 0x18)

Bug check description: This indicates that the kernel has detected critical kernel code or data corruption.
This might be a case of memory corruption. More often memory corruption happens because of software errors in buggy drivers, not because of faulty RAM modules.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.
