    BSODs and multiple apps acting weird

    Hi, I wanted to post in in the Windows 10 BSOD section but I don’t have the permission. Please move my post there if that’s ok. My PC started experiencing BSODs several months ago, they keep happening 1-2 times a day, sometimes more often, sometimes less, at random times, not necessarily when it’s loaded, often when completely idle. First I suspected GPU (since some games crashed with visual artifacts), so I replaced it with brand new one, but that didn’t help. Then I noticed that many apps started throwing random undocumented errors and/or crashing, for example, Firefox tabs keep randomly crashing (even with no add-ins enabled). This strongly suggested that I have bad memory stick, even though Memtest86 didn’t show anything. Nevertheless, I replaced all 4 RAM sticks with brand new ones, yet the issue still remains. I also ran SSD and hard drive tests, but those didn’t show up nothing. I even reinstalled Windows (clean reinstall), to no avail. Most BSODs refer to ntoskrnl.exe, sometimes Ntfs.sys, sometimes others. I am attaching several dumps.

    I am not sure what to suspect, temps are fine, BSODs happen at random, even without any load, so it shouldn’t be PSU, the behavior points to RAM but I already replaced it, so I’m really puzzled.

    TLDR: getting random BSODs with various modules and error codes, also crashing and weird behavior of various apps. Attempted:
    1. Clean reinstalling OS;
    2. Replacing GPU;
    3. Replacing all RAM sticks;
    4. Checking SSD and hard drive.
    5. Stress-testing CPU and GPU (no BSODs during tests).

    Current PC specs:
    Motherboard:
    Intel b660
    Code:
    Storage:
    ADATA SU650
    ST200DM008-2UB102
    WD_Black SN770 2TB
    
    CPU:
    Intel Core i9-13900KF
    
    GPU:
    Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti
    
    RAM:
    Kingston Fury Renegade 128GB 3600 DDR4 CL16 DIMM (4 sticks 32GB each)
    
    PSU:
    Deepcool PM850D 80 PLUS GOLD 850 W
    
    OS:
    Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC
    No software or hardware changes before BSODs started happening. Please let me know if I forgot some crucial info.

    Any suggestions?

    I probably don’t have the rights to upload files here, so I uploaded the minidumps here instead: https://ufile.io/f/7xhlg

                Not sure when Mal will be around so I will chime in first of all with an observation and second with a question.

                You have an OS that is not intended for personal use only for either large business corporations or places of learning, both have a licencing agreement between themselves and Microsoft and both are under the control of a system admin who is responsible for the upkeep of the said OS.

                How do you come to have such an OS on what is clearly a personal computer.

                    I am running a small home business, which is why I got access to LTSC a while ago. And yes, it is also used for personal stuff. Unfortunately since this business is 1-person (me), I don’t have a system admin.

                    But I don’t think the OS is to blame here, I have been running it on this PC for a few years now without any issues.

                        Two things;

                        As said the version of OS should not be in use on any personal computer, the fact that you are a one person set up changes nothing, legitimate users of Enterprise LTSC OSs get their support from Microsoft and not forums such as this.

                        The fact that you also use the computer for business purposes is also a problem as for legal reasons the forum like others has rules that prevent any help being offered in such an instance.
                        1. PCHF can not and will not offer advice for business use or financial gain. This includes streaming services. PCHF only offers assistance for personal use.

                        We can check things out for you but if it looks like we are on shaky ground legally we will have to withdraw from support.

                            When I got my license from MS, they mentioned that it’s ok to use it for personal use as well, but they won’t be providing support… That was a long time ago though. I did create a ticket about about a month ago about these BSODs, but didn’t receive any reply, so I guess they meant it when they said no support. Nowadays I mostly use this PC for personal stuff, so if you could treat this instance like that, it would be great… Otherwise, I understand. Still would appreciate any advice you could give me.
