Random BSOD on newly built computer

CageyDino

System Specs

OS - x64 Windows 10

This is a new computer, it did not have an old OS

I downloaded Win 10 from the Microsoft website

System age - oldest peice of hardware is from 2017. Although I have a 2nd drive that is just for my documents and games. It is a lot older than 3 years.

Age of OS - 2 months. I have not reinstalled the OS. Although I have planned to do so.

CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 2600

GPU - Powercolor (even though it is an AMD Model) RX 580 8GB

Motherboard - Gigabyte B450M DS3H

Powersuply - Thermaltake Smartseries 500W 80 Plus

System Manufacturer - Me

This is a Desktop

 

Other Specs not listed

Ram:Silicon Power 3200 8x2 GB

SSD (main boot drive): Kingston A400

HDD (for documents and games only, not programs): Western Digital WD20EURS-73TLHY0 2TB

 

Other information

The system crashes mostly when I play Bluestacks (Andriod Emulator). Though it does the same when I use Photoshop, Premiere Pro, or Chrome. It should be noted that only my games are installed on the 2nd drive, not the programs. I used "BlueScreenView" to see what is causing the BSODs. It turns out the cause is "ntoskrnl.exe." There are other times when the computer freezes, and there is a black screen. The fans are still running, but it is just a black screen.

 

Atached will be all the files that will be needed to diagnose (Link as well). If any other information is needed, just ask. 

 

If you do decide to reply, and I don't answer back, then thank you for trying to help.

does anything happen if the 2nd drive is not installed? 

try and run a check to see if there are any bad sectors on the hdd. 

run windows updates (include the other software check in the settings for the updates)

windows memory diagnostics?

run "sfc /scannow" in cmd with admin privilege

 

ntoskrnl.exe seems like a windows system file. it could just be a corrupt install.

I have not thought of removing the second drive. Just thought because it has my documents and some games it would not be a problem. But I will definately do it.

 

I opened Disk Management and I don't think there are any bad sectors. But correct me if I am worng.

I checked Windows Update, and there are no new updates, and I installed the newest versions of all my programs..

 

And these are the results of "sfc /scannow":

I am yet to run the memory diagnostic. Will update when done with it.

These are the results of the Memory Diagnostic:

The log file didn't show up when I logged in, so I went into Event Viewer.

Check out how to make a USB with Memtest86 on it, and how to run it. could be bad ram. run them together, and then individually, as paired ram changes the memory addresses.

Ran my computer today only with the boot drive. The PC crashed while running Chrome. I read some other threads and it looks like a lot of other people are recently having the same problem. And the only thing that is the same for all of us is the F50 bios from Gigabyte. Probably will go back a few versions before fresh installing.

Ran the test today, and there were no errors. Here are the results:

you might just have to try a fresh install. I cant figure out the problem. 

Ran some benchmarks on the SSD using HDTune, and these are the results:

The RAM and has already been tested, I uninstalled the GPU drivers, and reinstalled, did all windows updates, and uninstalled all unnecessary programs.

I am yet to get a BSoD.

Got 3 BSoDs since last comment. Will I have to reinstall Windows?

if you boot with the install usb and troubleshoot, go into dos prompt, and run the command sfc /scannow it should scan for corrupt files and replace these.
