Question BSOD after new SSD install

So, I've been trying to figure this out since like two months ago. I installed a new SSD on my Laptop, an XPG Xenia 15 XC. The SSD was installed in the second M.2 port and after installing it, I started randomly having BSODs. The detention code showing is PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA and the error is nvlddkm.sys. I've tried multiple solutions as changing the Nvidia drivers, doing a system error scan with cmd, and uninstalling programs that other people noticed were giving the error, but found no solution.
Something I've noticed is that I never get them when playing games, mostly using basic programs like Word and Google Chrome, they get more usual, I've had times where I get 3 o 4 in one hour, and sometimes I don't get one in a day. I would like to know if someone has had something similar or who knows more about it so I can get it fixed.

Thank you very much!

i don't find an XC, there is a KC. Do you have a link to model?

Strange it happens on desktop as often laptops use the integrated gpu in CPU for desktop and only use the Nvidia card in games. Where are you getting the display drivers from?

Do you get the bsod if you take the new ssd out?
Did you put windows on the ssd or just use as storage?

Can you follow option one on the following link - here - and then do this step below: Small memory dumps - Have Windows Create a Small Memory Dump (Minidump) on BSOD - that creates a file in c windows/minidump after the next BSOD

  1. Open Windows File Explore
  2. Navigate to C:\Windows\Minidump
  3. Copy the mini-dump files out onto your Desktop
  4. Do not use Winzip, use the built in facility in Windows
  5. Select those files on your Desktop, right click them and choose 'Send to' - Compressed (zipped) folder
  6. Upload the zip file to the Cloud (OneDrive, DropBox . . . etc.)
  7. Then post a link here to the zip file, so we can take a look for you . . .
 
Hi!
Thank you for your response.

My bad, it was actually KC, no XC. Normally all my drivers are downloaded in the Nvidia GeForce Experience. As of the display drivers, I'm not sure I have updated those since I bought the laptop.

I took out the SSD once and had no problems, but it was at the beginning when the BSODs weren't that much frequent, and I hadn't noticed it was mostly with basic tasks..
The SSD is just used for storage, as it is a secondary SSD, I just installed it to have more storage in the device

Here are the files you requested:
