TLDR: I got BSOD when I play older games, Dark Souls 1 and Xcom 1 EU. Stop Codes being SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (only happened once) and MEMORY_MANAGEMENT (like 10 times already). Mini DMP files here.

In case the longer story helps, this only happens on games that are moded? or older? Which is Dark Souls 1 (which I do item randomizer mod), xcom 1 EU (with Long War mod), and Xcom 2 (with quite a lot of random mods). Xcom 2 or any other game never Blue Screen without mods. So I dont know if its mods or games being older. I played and streamed Subnautica, Overwatch or some newer games (without mods tough) and never had BSOD.


WhoCrashed report shows (older DMP files was gone for some reason):

On Sat 17/3/2018 12:15:43 AM your computer crashed or a problem was reported
crash dump file: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\031718-6359-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: hardware.sys (hardware)
Bugcheck code: 0x1A (0x41792, 0xFFFFFE005D249000, 0x2, 0x0)
Error: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
Bug check description: This indicates that a severe memory management error occurred. A corrupted PTE has been detected.
This might be a case of memory corruption. This may be because of a hardware issue such as faulty RAM, overheating (thermal issue) or because of a buggy driver. This problem might also be caused because of overheating (thermal issue).
A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: hardware.sys .

What I have tried:
- Using Display Driver uninstaller to uninstall and reinstall the newest Display Driver
- Revert to older Display Driver
- Windows update
- BIOS updated to newest version
- Memtest shows nothing wrong
- Pulling my hairs out


So what gives? My spec is here:

WD Blue WD10EZEX 1TB 7200rpm 64MB 3.5 Inch HDD
Samsung 960 EVO Series - 250GB PCIe NVMe - M.2 SSD
Antec NeoEco II Series NEO-ECO2-550 80Plus Bronze 550W PSU
MSI GeForce® GTX 1070 GAMING X 8GB GDDR5
Corsair VENGEANCE® LED 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3000MHz C15 - White LED
AMD RYZEN R7 1700 3.7GHz 16M L3 8 Core 16 Thread 65W AM4
Gigabyte GA-AB350M-Gaming 3 AM4 M.ATX
WIN10




EDIT: it seems to be harddrive related. It stopped happening when I move every steam game and every game out of a suspected hard disc.
 
Boot drives is seen as memory to PC operating system as its location of page file. If you move page file to hdd, then its seen as memory. Data has only 2 locations on PC, ram or storage, so Memory management can be either of those or drivers. Memory to PC is RAM + page file

I am just throwing suggestions out there as we don't seem to be getting anywhere and making sure both drives aren't the cause is 1 less thing to blame.

PSU is source of all power and I guess if its not consistent it might cause problems. I don't recall mentioning it?
