Recording softwares seem to cause BSODs. Why?

Underi

I've been riddled with constant daily crashes on my PC for the past couple of weeks. So far the dump files haven't really helped other than it's most likely a "driver issue". I uninstalled GPU drivers in safe mode with DDU twice now and seems like it didn't help. I also had a 3 year old Seagate drive fail just outside of warranty, so I removed that if it could've been the culprit. The last two BSODs are quite interesting however. Both were "KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE"s and both had the same parameter 3, which indicates "A LIST_ENTRY has been corrupted". The only difference was that during the first one I used Shadowplay and the process_name in the dump was nvcontainer.exe, which is Shadowplay. When I realized that I uninstalled drivers with shadowplay and Geforce Experience and started using OBS with replay buffer. The crashing seemed to stop for 3 days, until 5 minutes ago when the same crash with same parameters happened, only with obs.exe. So my PC really doesn't like recording. I'll attach my specs and the two dump files here if anyone can read them better than me and help.

Have you tried rolling back drivers to previous version?

I would try removing any overclock / XMP, and possibly running a memtest86 to see if there are RAM problems.

I didn't really want to run memtest since it takes forever. My motherboard detects the RAM speeds wrong and underclocks them to 2600MHz I think, that's why I have XMP and slight ram OC. I'll do it this weekend if the crashes keep coming.
