About 3 weeks ago now my PC started to randomly BSOD, i hadnt changed any hardware but roughly 2 weeks prior to these starting i did buy a new LG 27" monitor. I wondered if that might have caused them so i switched back to the old one and the BSODs continued so that pretty much ruled that concern out.

I have ran a full Kaspersky scan with no problems found, i have also ran a Malwarebytes scan with no issues and then was told to enable the rootkits option and scan again so i did this; after nearly 3hours the PC BSOD during the scan so i was unable to get a full result but the rootkit section of the scan was clear and i had about 88% of the scan complete prior to the BSOD.

I have also ran a Memtest86 which also found no issues, i then ran the windows diagnostic and also tried both drives and nothing was flagged.

I am totally lost as to what is causing these on a daily basis.

I thought maybe these were being triggered by my browser (Firefox) but then this morning i turned the PC on and left the machine for a few minutes and when i came back it had crashed and restarted so its just pretty unhappy and i need to work out what is causing this.

I have also checked all drivers and they all appear to be up to date, my NVIDIA driver was also updated last night and previously about 3 weeks ago.

I have had a number of minidump files suggest crashes like

KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION
DRIVER VERIFIER DETECTION VIOLATION
