I've been battling with a KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE (error code 0x139, subcode 3) Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) every time I try to launch GTA V legacy. It started about three weeks ago, with a 40% chance of crashing, but now it crashes every single time I open the game. My system specs are a B450 Aorus Elite Rev1 motherboard, RTX 5080 graphics card, a Ryzen 5 5700x3d processor, and 32GB of Corsair RAM running at 3000MHz. I'm running Windows 11 on an M.2. I've tried numerous troubleshooting steps, including updating the BIOS, disabling external drivers, verifying game files, reinstalling BattleEye, and even reverting Nvidia drivers, but nothing has worked. Recently, I also had to install EasyAntiCheat manually for a new game, but I'm not sure if that's related. I'm feeling pretty stuck and would appreciate any advice on how to resolve this BSOD issue.

I totally get how annoying this is. I've seen similar issues pop up with other games that have heavy anti-cheat systems like BattleEye. One possible route is to completely uninstall and reinstall your graphic drivers using a tool like DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) in safe mode. Sometimes just reinstalling the drivers without a clean uninstall can lead to lingering issues. Give it a shot and see if it helps!
Sounds like you've done quite a bit of troubleshooting already! It might be worth considering a Windows repair installation if it hasn’t crossed your mind yet. This doesn't require a complete wipe and can fix critical issues like the one you're facing. Just make sure to back up your important files beforehand. If all else fails, contacting BattleEye support directly might yield specific solutions for your situation.
This sounds really frustrating! It seems like you might have a conflict between BattleEye and maybe something in Windows. Since you've done a lot already, I suggest checking for any recent updates or patches for both BattleEye and your Windows installation. Also, consider disabling any unnecessary startup programs or background services that could be interfering. If that doesn't work, a last resort could be restoring your system to a previous state before this issue started, if you have a restore point available.
