I'm experiencing frequent Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors on my Windows 11 system, happening roughly every 10 minutes. The error displays a bug check code of 139, which indicates a kernel security check failure. This issue began about three days ago, and prior to that, my system was running smoothly for about a year. I've checked the basics like the CPU temperature and fan, and even reset the motherboard's CMOS settings after slightly undervolting the CPU, but nothing has worked so far. I also rolled back the recent Windows updates without success. Here's a summary of the minidump: it points to a potential memory issue where a kernel component has corrupted a critical data structure. I'm not very familiar with reading debug information, so I would really appreciate any guidance or troubleshooting steps to resolve this problem.

It sounds frustrating to deal with a recurring BSOD. First things first, you should definitely provide the dump files. If the info in your post is from a corrupted dump, that could lead to misleading conclusions. If you haven't already, try running your system with just one stick of RAM to see if that helps determine if it's a memory issue. You might also want to check if your storage might be corrupting files, as that can sometimes cause odd BSODs too. And remember to remove any overclock or undervolt settings for now; they might be contributing to the instability.
I looked at the minidump files you provided, but unfortunately, it seems three out of five were corrupted. The remaining two don't really identify a clear cause, which is common with memory-related issues. If the same crash code shows up consistently, it suggests a deeper problem that might not just be RAM; something in your Windows files could also be corrupted. For troubleshooting, it's crucial to test RAM sticks one by one. If you notice crashes with one of them, that would indicate it's faulty. If both sticks crash, the issue might lie elsewhere, such as the CPU or storage.
