I'm really frustrated with my PC crashing all the time—like, almost every minute! This all started after I used ASUS DriverHub to update my system and installed some new software. Now, random applications like Unity3D, Edge, and Discord keep crashing, and I've also experienced multiple Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors. Here are some specs: I've got an NVIDIA 4070 SUPER, 64GB of RAM, an Intel i9-14900K, and I'm running Windows 11 with a TUF Gaming BIOS.
In just a week, I've faced various BSOD errors such as 'Driver over stack buffer', 'System Service Exception' (four times!), 'Reference by Pointer', and more. I've tried booting into Safe Mode, disabled unnecessary startup applications, uninstalled BlueStacks, and run several diagnostics. Everything seems up-to-date according to all the tools I've checked. I'm even trying to repair Windows 11, but that keeps failing too. Does anyone have any suggestions? Or should I take it to a repair shop? My build is less than a year old, but these issues only started escalating recently.

First off, you should try to collect the dump files from the crashes. These can really help pinpoint the issue. You can find them in C:WindowsMinidump. If you see any files there, zip the folder and upload it to a file-sharing site, like catbox.moe or mediafire. More dump files will lead to a better analysis!
It could be either software or hardware. If it’s software, a clean installation of Windows often fixes the problem quickly—make sure to do it from a USB drive and delete all partitions on the system drive while keeping other drives disconnected. For hardware issues, you can run tests on your RAM using memtest86 or check your drives with their respective OEM software. If your OS isn’t stable enough, consider using a live USB with Hiren's Boot CD to help run diagnostics.
Hey, I just saw you shared your Minidump folder. It's crucial for us to analyze those files! Make sure the dump type is set to Small Memory Dump so you can gather more data for troubleshooting. Let’s hope we can get to the bottom of this!
Thanks for the advice! Which one should I tackle first? I’d really like to save all my files if possible. I also linked my Minidump folder in another comment in case it helps.
