TL;DR, it was Corsair's software making the bluescreens which were supposedly caused by ndu.sys and any other drivers.

So I was having an issue with random bluescreens about once or twice a week for quite some time, 
Any time i ran the WinDbg tool (Windows memory dump analysis tool) it would tell me that a driver caused the issue, usually it would tell me it was Ndu.sys (network driver).

 
Now most tutorials would tell you to run the command “sfc /scannow” and then re-install your drivers,
 
But this never really fixed anything for me. 
But I had a hunch, and that hunch turned out to be correct.
 
I've been having problems with Corsair iCUE causing memory errors, conflicting with my sound card drivers (an ASUS Xonar DX), and I have to guess that the iCUE software messes with a lot of things it really shouldn't. 

 
Previously I had Corsair Link and iCUE installed to control all the Corsair parts in my PC (RM1000 PSU, K95 RGB keyboard, M65 mouse, Commander Mini and H110i watercooler) 
(the old Corsair Link software is needed as Corsair doesn't even bother to support their own hardware with their iCUE software).
 
So what I've done is uninstall the Corsair iCUE and Corsair Link software, 
And for the last month there's been no bluescreens.
 
Thats all, nothing else changed, no windows updates, no change in hardware or peripherals, just the Corsair iCUE and Link software uninstalled and the bluescreens are gone. 
Which raises the question, why/how the hell is iCUE messing with the network drivers, sound drivers, graphics drivers and storage drivers?
 
Since finding out it was Corsair causing all my issues, and their complete lack of wanting to fix the problems with their software, I've lost a lot of trust in that company. 
Which is a shame as the hardware is quite good, just let down by flakey bloatware.
 
 
So if anyone has corsair software installed and is getting a driver/ndu.sys related bluescreen, just try uninstalling the Corsair software. it worked for me.

That likely was not lead but rather Indium foil which is still used as an excellent interface to fill the potential rough surfaces and insure a better coupling between CPU, LED or laser diode array and the heatsink base plate.  I harvest it anytime dismantle any old mobos and I come across it for my project laser builds.

I briefly had a UHD42, it was replacing a older Optoma projector i had and had a great experience with, but ended up returning it and getting a 4k TV instead,
The bright mode was excellent, its there for people who don't have rooms that can be fully darkened.

for model numbers (as they differ for Europe):
The UHD30 is equivalent to the UHD40, and has a 1.1x optical zoom (1.2:1 throw)
The UHD50 is equivalent to the UHD42, and has a 1.3x optical zoom and a optical vertical shift (1.5:1 throw).
The UHD30/50 has Mobile-HD link (MHL), whereas the 40/42 does not (for mobile phone streaming).

Two things that were not covered in the video were the very two reasons why I swapped to a TV (despite the smaller size),
Firstly, the colour reproduction is good for plain old RGB, but not as much for the blended colours between.
See the aqua blue colour in these Monitor vs Projector comparisons,

Both next to each other: (the room lights were off, all that extra light is reflected light from the projector when it was displaying a light grey test pattern)

It made the sky colours in the film Weathering with You look overly dull,
 
Projector test pattern:

 
Monitor test pattern (abit blurry, camera moved):


And secondly, the 4k is more of a blended "4k" due to the DMD shifting technique used to achieve it from a 1080p DMD. It was not able to give the same detail as a conventional DMD / LCD was able to.
Things that were 1 pixel apart are blended together.
 
Monitor:

 
Projector:

It really did just show a gray square for the alternating black/white single pixel line pattern
 
Pro's for Projector:
Can be moved around with ease, Great brightness Huge projection area 240hz 1080p mode is fantastic, Downsides:
For 70-120" screens, you can get better image quality from a similarly priced/sized TV Colour reproduction Soft / non sharp 4k visuals  Overall i'd still recommend it if you have a use case where a TV just isn't large enough, or if you plan to move it around, For other situations just get a huge TV.

This is what happens when you take the man's red stapler

Same issue here with my Xonar Essence STX II. Memory error every time i shut down my pc. If i don't remember to press OK in the message box, the pc simply doesn't turn off after pressing the power button and walking away. I hate it. I also had to put in some time to "learn" how to program macros or even mess with RGB settings. It is not straight forward at all. I really like the Dark Core mouse, K63 keyboard and the functionality of the commander pro, but the Software is absolute garbage. I'd like to know aswell if there are alternatives...

I haven't seen any peripheral software that's not garbage in a way or another yet...

Sure, 35 W/mK is still good. I'm sure we'd still be using it today, if it wasn't for the whole "poisonous" issue. People didn't stop using it because better stuff became available but rather because of health and environmental issues.
 
From what I can find most thermal pads are somewhere between 3-15 W/mK, though there are some that claim 35 and even 50 W/mK: AL20, AL50. Most paste is somewhere in the same ballpark.
 
~edit: I'd suggest watching this, there's a lot of info about thermal conductivity and paste vs pad
