Hi guys, I've been having an issue where closing Chrono Ark will more likely than not result in a BSOD regardless of if I do it via quitting normally or forceclosing it.

I've done some research and tried sfc /scannow and DISM, both came back clean.

Please find below the links to the dmp files on google drive:

I'd really appreciate the help, I tried opening them and digging in with windbg but it ended up inconclusive.

Edit/update: attached what I could get, please ping me if there is anything else I should add @Ralston18

- C is an SSD. I'm not sure where to get more details, google told me to look using msinfo32. Chrono Ark is not on said SSD (it's on the D drive instead)

PSU: HP Model Series HSTNN-LA12, part number 608432-001

Peripherals - Alcatroz X-craft Air Trek 1000 (gaming mouse) and a $5 usb charging cable for phone,

In addition to the info requested by @Ralston18 , are your main drivers (video, motherboard chipset, network) fully up to date? Same question for Windows.
Ah, I can say my windows 10 is comically out of date - I think the version is just above 12k, as I'm using a very old laptop - updating them results in huge system instability. I think it's probably out of the purview of tom's hardware at this point, so I don't mind - don't want to burden you guys. Can someone lock this thread?

Also, thanks for taking the time out of your busy days to help, I appreciate it!
