This morning when i woke up I turned my PC on then went to make some coffee. I came back looked, at my screen and saw Windows was going to automatic repair from a BSOD. I didn't get a chance to see what the BSOD was though. After Windows successfully did a repair suddenly I got a message from Windows saying my Memory Integrity was deactivated. I tried to reenable it but I supposedly had a driver that was out of date, also somehow Virtualization got switched off in my BIOs. I hadn't had any problem with Memory Integrity/Core Isolation before this, I had it enabled and now suddenly it got disabled, I was able to reenable it though. Also after the Windows repair it uninstalled Davinci Resolve for some reason.

I only have one minidump file which is from this morning. I've attached it to this post for analysis. Also for some reason it wasn't let me attach the minidump file, Windows was saying I didn't have permission even though I'm the only user on this PC and I'm an Admin. I did successfully follow the instructions on a Microsoft article to change the ownership of the dump file, but I'm not sure why it happened in the first place.

update. After getting the second bsod yeasterday i went ahead and updated my bios since I was on a beta version, I also updated my AMD chipset. I ran a disk error check which said it found errors and corrupt files which Windows repaired. This morning when i booted up my system I didn't get any bsods. So hopefully it's fixed but I would still like to know what caused the issue in the first placew. i'm going to go ahead and attach the minidump from yesterday to this.

Not that old. I purchased it Sept 20th 2020, it's a sabrent 500gb m.2 nvme. I have 2 other drives in my system a 7TB mechanical drive, then a 250GB m.2 nvme drive. I can do a health check when I get off work tonight. Will crystal disk info work well for that?
 
most likely your boot drive, but it could be any of those you listed.
check the SMART values for all three and do a chkdsk /r on each one.
Speccy and Defraggler show SMART values, not sure about Crystal, don't use it.

I just tried checking the status of the drives and for both my M.2 NVME drives it says SMART isn't supported. I tried using Speccy and Defraggler and both show the same thing. For my HDD it shows a "Good" status. I also ran chkdsk on all of them and it came back with no errors on any of my drives.
 
Edit: I have Samsung Magician installed because one of my NVME drives is a Samsung. Samsung Magician is showing the SMART status for both my NVME drives as "Good". I don't think Sabrent has a drive monitoring software though. The Sabrent drive is my boot drive.
 
let's see how the next few days go and if no BSOD re-appear.
if they do, I would run the rig with only the boot drive connect, and see if the BSOD go away when the other drives are not connected.
