I've been struggling with black screens and BSODs (Blue Screen of Death) for over a year and a half, especially when playing demanding games like Hunt Showdown. I've encountered several BSODs like IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, MEMORY_MANAGEMENT, and others related to the kernel. Initially, there was also a strange error involving 'notskrl.' Despite reinstalling Windows 5-7 times and trying various driver updates, the issue persists. Here's my PC setup: CPU - Ryzen 5 3600 3.6GHz, GPU - RTX 2060, SSD - XPG GAMMIX S11 Pro, RAM - 2x8GB 2666MHz. I've attached a minidump file link for analysis. If you need more information, just let me know! Thanks in advance!

It sounds like you really need to gather some more dump files for a proper analysis of the BSODs. Check in C:WindowsMinidump for any files related to the crashes. If you find them, zip up that folder and share it via a file hosting service like mediafire or catbox.moe. The community usually needs multiple dump files to identify a pattern. Also, make sure to configure Windows to create Small Memory Dumps for future crashes; that will help a lot! Good luck!
Just gathering that dump file is a step in the right direction! If you only have one dump file, that could be limiting. It only points to a memory error, which can stem from various issues, from RAM problems to software conflicts. Maybe try running the game again a few more times to capture more dumps—getting consistent BSODs will give better clues on what's going wrong. Keep us posted!
I just reinstalled Windows again today, so I'm fresh out of dump files at the moment. I guess I need to run the game a few times to see if the BSOD pops up again.
