Persistant BSODs & Audio Driver Issues

Hello, I've been having around 1-2 BSODs per week from the CRITICAL_STRUCTURE_CORRUPTION error on a PC I've built and I'm not sure how to fix it. I've gone through with many troubleshooting tips and haven't seen to crack exactly what the issue is. I believe it's related to my audio drivers (or lack thereof). Whenever the BSOD occurs, I notice that my HID-compliant headset in the Device Manager is unable to start. It could be memory related, but I ran Memtest86 and it didn't find anything. The only thing I've changed in my BIOS is setting the default RAM speeds to the provided DOCP profile.


I've tried installing the Realtek Audio Drivers from my MOBO's website, but they never appear visible in the device manager. I'm hoping someone can give me some insight into the problem. Thank you!


Other Things I've Tried:

  1. Clean reinstall of Win10, including full wipe of all drives. I'm also on the latest version as of today (1/21/2020).
  2. Updated my chipset driver, ethernet driver, graphics card.
  3. Recently ran through 4 cycles of MemTestx86 (free). It ran for around 5 hours with 0 errors found.
  4. Checked the Device Manager for any suspect drivers. the HID-compliantheadset driver specifically would stop working whenever the BSOD occurs. I've tried updating as well as flat-out disabling it.
  5. I've ran through user-benchmark and my setup performs as expected (53 percentile). My RAM in particular is considered below expectations, running in at (30th percentile)
  6. I've taken a look at the .dmps with bluescreenview, but I've only been able to discern that it's from hal.dll and ntoskrnl.exe which are both essential components. The real issue may be obfuscated by this.
  7. I've tried the Win10 Driver Verifier, but that caused the PC to be unable to load and I had to go back to a restore point.
