Varying BSOD errors out of nowhere?

I've recently been getting BSODs with Windows 10. I've been running it for at least 8+ months with no issues, and I hadn't made any changes to any drivers for a while before they started happening. I recently switched out my mobo (the only hardware change), but have been running it for about three months without issues.

What's throwing me off is that I'm getting a different error almost every single time it crashes and the BSODs seem to come at random, but in bunches. Whether I'm playing a game or just running my browser. When it starts happening, I can often have trouble even getting the machine to the desktop without it happening, but if I come back to it an hour or two later it can get there.

Errors I have seen include PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA, SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION, and WATCHDOG_ERROR_VIOLATION. Last night I used the option to "reset" Windows, checked the drivers and saw everything was already up to date, and things were fine for the day until the errors started coming again out of nowhere.

My specs:
ASUS 970 Pro Gaming/Aura
Sapphire R9 290
8GB DDR3 Corsair Dominator
AMD FX-8350
Corsair tx850W PSU
Samsung EVO SSD 500gb


Temps have been fine. Nothing even going above 50c... Any ideas where to start? The fact I'm getting so many different BSOD errors is throwing me off.

Thanks!

download and run whocrashed; http://www.resplendence.com/whocrashed
it will look at errors and give a summary - might show cause as well.

Copy/paste results in here.

Thats a start, next follow option one here: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/5560-bsod-minidump-configure-create-windows-10-a.html
and then do this step below: Small memory dumps - Have Windows Create a Small Memory Dump (Minidump) on BSOD

that creates a file in c/windows/minidumps
copy that file to your documents
upload the copy to a cloud server and share the link here - someone who can read the dumps will figure it out for you

Watchdog error violations are normally CPU related, but i won't guess until i see whocrashed results.

Hi, thank you very much for your answer, I genuinely appreciate it! It took a few days for me to get back into town, but so far I have done a clean install on my video drivers and still got the BSODs after a few hours of usage. So I ran WhoCrashed and here is the result (currently running a malware scan as well just in case):

The last error was caused by your graphics card, it possible its the drivers though WHEA stands for Windows Hardware Error Architecture so it could also be the card itself

Are you overclocked? Memory management can be drivers or hardware, Clock watchdog Timeout is generally hardware as well. there seems to be a mix here.

run this on your ram: http://www.memtest86.com/

can you upload the dump file and then someone who can read them can get to bottom of this for you.

Thank you again for the reply! I ran memtest the other day for quite some time and had zero errors. I am also not overclocked. I overclocked the CPU while on my last motherboard, but when I switched out for a new motherboard (the northbridge was overheating) I didn't bother.

I've uploaded the last two minidumps here:

Tried this and haven't had a BSOD since last night despite heavy usage. So far so good. Thanks a ton!
