First my system specs:
MB: b350m Gaming pro
CPU: Ryzen 3700x
OLD RAM that was causing issues: Patriot 2x8g 3200Mhz
RAM (that is giving BSODs I think): Corsair LPX 2666 2x16GB


Update: Minidumps here: https://files.catbox.moe/amfkka.zip

Ok to sum up what's happened so far...
Couple weeks ago, computer started rebooting/crashing bad. Then eventually it wouldn't even come back up until I removed one of the RAM sticks.
Figured one of the sticks was bad. Replaced the RAM and PC started fine. Setup XMP to right speeds, But then random, daily BSOD's would start with different errors below.
I've tried LOTS of things already:
  • chkdsk for errors. Seem fine.
  • Memory test (via windows... not thorough I know, but came out clean)
  • Combinations of no overclocking, stock clocks, xmp, no xmp... same issue.
  • increasing and decreasing voltage... (up to 1.35v) same problems
  • Updating drivers (amd chipset, lan drivers, etc)
  • Updating bios
  • Windows update
  • Removing scpv driver listed in the logs...
  • Updating gpu drivers
  • Other things... I'll updates as I remember.

Frustrating thing is how random it is... if it was a crash at startup or not even posting it'd be so much easier to troubleshoot.
Seems like the BSOD's below happen kinda ramdonly. Sometimes 12 hrs of uptime. Sometimes after an entire day. Sometimes an hour. Can be during use or when PC is pretty idle.
I'm running out of ideas.... Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thinking of trying another ram kit... maybe this new one is faulty?

Conclusion
6 crash dumps have been found and analyzed. A third party driver has been identified to be causing system crashes on your computer. It is strongly suggested that you check for updates for these drivers on their company websites. Click on the links below to search with Google for updates for these drivers:
scpvbus.sys
If no updates for these drivers are available, try searching with Google on the names of these drivers in combination with the errors that have been reported for these drivers. Include the brand and model name of your computer as well in the query. This often yields interesting results from discussions on the web by users who have been experiencing similar problems.
Read the suggestions displayed in the bugcheck analysis above.
Note that it's not always possible to state with certainty whether a reported driver is responsible for crashing your system or that the root cause is in another module. Nonetheless it's suggested you look for updates for the products that these drivers belong to and regularly visit Windows update or enable automatic updates for Windows. In case a piece of malfunctioning hardware is causing trouble, a search with Google on the bug check errors together with the model name and brand of your computer may help you investigate this further.

they are known to cause BSOD.

I will ask a friend to convert dumps

other crashes could be drivers, but they all memory related. Most crashes are though.

Try running memtest86 on each of your ram sticks, one stick at a time, up to 4 passes. Only error count you want is 0, any higher could be cause of the BSOD. Remove/replace ram sticks with errors.

Thanks a bunch.

I've deleted that driver. But odd that it'd cause a BSOD when I'm not using or connecting a controller for anything.

I've decided to swap the ram out again. Maybe the kit is bad/incompatible.

I feel like this isn't going to fix it though... Guess we'll see.

Any ideas on the dumps?

Sorry, life got busy for a few days.

I ran the dump files through the debugger and got the following information: https://jsfiddle.net/dagL8v2s/show This link is for anyone wanting to help. You do not have to view it. It is safe to "run the fiddle" as the page asks.

Thanks a bunch. For now I've swapped RAM out with new kit again (2x8gb Corsair LPX 3200). And I think I've disabled or uninstalled any OC software/settings. We'll see how it goes.

Thanks a bunch guys. I swapped out the ram with a new kit and I'm on 3 days without a BSOD! Previously we were at anything between 1 hr and one day with a BSOD. So here's to hoping.

I had a feeling that might be it but everyone hates having to return/swap parts that may be faulty...

Also other things I did:
- disconnected usb devices like my headset, usb drives

The only other possibility is my usb headset but seems unlikely... So if we stay stable I'll plug it back in and see if there are any other issues.
