Recently I've gotten new BSODs, specifically while I had been running a game for a while. (approx 2-3h)
So far no BSODs even when I idle for 5-6+ hours.

Hardwareinfo:
MB: ASUS Z170-K
CPU: Intel Core i7 6700k (OC to 4.4, gonna try without OC tomorrow)
PSU: 550 Watt be quiet! Straight Power 11 Modular 80+ Gold
GPU: Gainward GeForce GTX 1070 (8GB)
RAM: 2x 8GB G.Skill Ripjaws DDR4-2133
SSD(Windows Partition): Samsung 960 EVO 250GB (M.2)
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB (SATA)
HDD: WD Blue 2TB (SATA)

Currently using 2 Screens
1: Acer 27 L Nitro VG270UP (144hz)
2. Acer GN246HL (144hz)

So far I did:
  • Memtest, 4 runs with 0 errors each
  • Samsung Magician/CrystalDiskInfo to check Drives, no errors here
  • Updated Displaydriver to the newest one available (Uninstall with DDU before)
  • Checked Drivers for my Mainboard, no new available since I last updated
  • Checked temps while Game is running, GPU max 70-75, CPU max 65

I'd appreciate if someone can check out these minidumps for me.

1st crash has bam in stack text... i can't say I seen this before - http://batcmd.com/windows/10/services/bam/
Background Activity Moderator Driver service - - it controls activity of background apps.

the 2 wow ones could be GPU driver, I have seen the more recent Nvidia drivers not work well with 10 series cards (they don't work all that well with 20 series either)

could update these

Given that you've run memtest and it hasn't detected any errors I don't think there's anything wrong with your memory. Can you recall when this issue started? - It could be an issue with Windows. Perhaps try System Restore -> Show more restore points and see if there were any updates/installations that it could be related to.

Tldr; I would recommend system restoring back a few days/weeks and just try - it only takes a few minutes and has resolved a few issues like this for me in the past.

Hey, been a bit busy, sorry for replying so late.
I checked for ystem restore points, there were none for Windows Updates though.
I removed the OC for now, installed an older version of the GPU driver (from March) and updated the Realtek drive from above.

I'll monitor how things go and will report back, thanks for your replies so far.
