I've been dealing with random Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors for about a month. Lately, it's gotten worse—now, I can't even start any games without crashing. Oddly enough, Cyberpunk 2077 runs perfectly, but simpler Unity games crash unexpectedly. My laptop feels sluggish too, even when browsing Windows Explorer or viewing images. I've gathered some minidump files and uploaded them for analysis. I'm also experiencing a strange issue with my Wi-Fi router, which stops connecting to the internet if I restart my laptop after a crash. I really just want to get back to gaming and watching YouTube—any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I took a peek at your dumps as practice and found a few recurring issues. Several BSODs seem linked to "ace-base.sys" from an anti-cheat program associated with the game nikke.exe, and another one with Microsoft OneDrive's "cldflt.sys". To start, ensure all your drivers and Windows updates are current. You can also run some commands in the command prompt to check system integrity. Just remember to verify the game files on Steam for those titles that are crashing!
First off, it sounds like you need to analyze those dump files to get to the root of the BSODs. If you can access Windows normally or through Safe Mode, check the C:WindowsMinidump directory for any crash logs. Make sure you have multiple dump files for better analysis—upload them to a file-sharing site like MediaFire or Catbox. Additionally, it might be worth setting your system to create Small Memory Dumps if you haven't done that yet. These details could lead to a more accurate diagnosis.
I ran those commands, but the sfc scan didn’t show any issues. I tried chkdsk, but now I can’t even boot into Windows, even in Safe Mode! Getting really worried here.
