For the past three days, I've been experiencing a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) related to ntoskrnl.exe shortly after starting to play Red Dead Redemption 2; it usually happens within 5 to 10 minutes. I've tried using the 'fix problems using Windows Update' option and also ran Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to clean my graphics drivers, but so far nothing has resolved the issue. If anyone has advice on what I should try next, I'd really appreciate it! I've also included links to my minidumps if that helps: [Minidump 1](https://www.mediafire.com/file/rcr3t85n8ehdvac/120325-6546-01.rar/file) and [Minidump 2](https://www.mediafire.com/file/oqic3ja7g5wy19u/120325-7328-01.rar/file).

If you can boot into Windows normally or via Safe Mode, check the C:WindowsMinidump directory for crash logs. Gathering multiple dump files can really help narrow down the cause. If you find any, zip them up and upload them to a site like mediafire or catbox.moe. Also, consider changing the dump settings to create small memory dumps—this might help capture the crashes without overwriting previous dumps.
It sounds like you're dealing with a tricky BSOD issue! One thing you could try is uninstalling and then reinstalling your NVIDIA drivers. Sometimes corrupted driver files can lead to crashes. Also, does this BSOD only occur while playing Red Dead Redemption 2, or have you noticed it happening in other games as well?
