I'm dealing with frequent Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors on my PC, and the messages are pointing towards issues with ntfs.sys and ntoskrnl.exe. My setup includes an MSI B450 Gaming Plus motherboard, an Nvidia GTX 1070 TI graphics card, G.Skill Ripjaws DDR4 2400 RAM (4x8GB), and a Ryzen 5 5600X CPU. I'm running Windows 11. I suspect the BSODs could be caused by a faulty RAM module, but I've run Windows memory tests multiple times and found no issues. Any insights or help from the community would be greatly appreciated! I've also uploaded my minidumps for further analysis.

Is this a new issue, or has your system been acting up for a while? It sounds like you've recently switched your SSD after it burned out. Just curious if that might have anything to do with the sudden increase in BSODs you're experiencing.
To really tackle those BSODs, it would be great to analyze some dump files since they contain crash logs. If you can boot into Windows normally or through Safe Mode, check the C:WindowsMinidump folder for any files. Zip up any you'll find and share them via a file hosting service like catbox.moe or mediafire. If you only have one dump file, you can still upload that, but it's best to set your system to create small memory dumps for more data, as described in [this guide](https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/5560-configure-windows-10-create-minidump-bsod.html). Let us know what you find!
I've been getting one or two BSODs a month, but it’s really ramped up lately. The problems started after I replaced my SSD two weeks ago and did a clean reinstall of everything. Before this, I don’t remember having so many issues focused on ntoskrnl.
