BSOD ( MEMORY_MANAGEMENT ntoskrnl.exe )ERROR PIC getting after playing 5 mins in heavy games like RDR2 or cyberpunk and didnt happen in small games like dead by daylight i played for 2 hours no error. i was getting NO BSOD when i had RTX 2080ti but i purchased this RTX 3070 and now getting errors.
I installed drivers using DDU in safe mode and also installed old 3070 driver but no help

Specs:
i5-11400f Temp never crosses 60c
B560 gaming HD ( Latest bios )
32gb xpg D50 ( brand new rams)
RTX 3070 ( i also tried another 3070 getting same error ) Temp never crosses 70c
PSU: xpg pylon 650w

I used commands like sfc /scannow and DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth but didnt help.

Your psu is a little iffy to run a 3070.

Shop for a 750w unit with at least a 7 year warranty.

Looking at the BlueScreenView output the BSOD on 23rd March is the key one, mainly because it's a Driver Verifier Detected error. The Razor driver RZDev_025d.sys was the one trapped by Driver Verifier so that's the one you should probably focus on.

FWIW ntoskrnl.sys is quite often flagged by both BlueScreenView and WinDbg analyze -v, but it's never the real problem. Ntoskrnl.sys is the Windows kernel, it will call a third-party driver, which will do its thing and then return to the kernel. It's when the kernel has control back and checks the parameters passed by the third-party driver that an error (by the third-party driver) is typically detected, so the resulting BSOD points at ntoskrnl.sys....

Without actual dumps it's not possible to say any more.

Here is three dump files https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1wOBwIhJrF0GskVGijzeoDdxHzzQ3Q1G4?usp=sharing

The 032623-8187-01.dmp is clear-cut, it's a DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION showing a code integrity issue, meaning that a driver tried to access the wrong page type (executable instead of non-executable). This is clearly a driver error.

The call stack shows a call to Rz_Dev.sys...
Code:

Argument 2 of the bugcheck (0xFFFFF804CD8224CF) is the address in the driver where the failure occurred, identifying the module name confirms that the problem happened in RzDev_025d.sys...

    Information from resource tables:
There may be a more recent update for this Raxer (mouse?) driver? This is certainly a flaky driver and it does need either updating or removing/replacing.

The other two dumps are very similar, they are both MEMORY_MANAGEMENT bugchecks with an exception code indicating a page table problem. Argument 2 in each dump provides the virtual address where the bugcheck happened, by displaying the virtual to real address mapping for that address we see that there is indeed a problem...
Code:
8: kd> !vtop 0 0000000055b9c32a
Amd64VtoP: Virt 0000000055b9c32a, pagedir 000000024239a000

Amd64VtoP: PML4E read error 0x8000FFFF
Virtual address 55b9c32a translation fails, error 0x8000FFFF.

This could be a RAM problem as you suspected, but it could also be a rogue driver. Both these dumps were performing graphics operations, the DirectX kernel driver dxgkrnl.sys is called in both. Whilst there is no evidence of the Razer driver RzDev_025d.sys being called in these dumps I don't believe in coincidences and I think it reasonable to lay these two BSODs at the door of RzDev_025d.sys.
