Hello,
A PC that I have built a couple of years ago has been experiencing several BSOD errors recently. With some help, I've discovered that my PSU was not working correctly and I replaced it as a result. I wasn't sure if this really made much of a difference since I was still receiving BSOD errors but after testing my old PSU again, the system was not receiving power. So as it turns out, the PSU was part of the issue.
On a hunch, I decided to download malwarebytes to see if there was anything that got past Windows defender. I did find some malicious files which I isolated and removed. This seemed to have helped for a bit as I did not received any BSOD for some time. I then started receiving the errors IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, and PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA.
I updated ALL of my drivers and even located a faulty driver from Nvidia that I uninstalled and replaced with an older driver that I know worked. I also updated my BIOS. I then tested my memory with memtest86 which did not return any errors, though when I look at my latest minidump, I see something that says "nt!MiSystemFault+195c84" and "memory_corruption." Is this a tell-tale sign that my memory is corrupt? That said, I cannot figure out what to do. I've noticed that my CPU temperatures, which used to peak at 83°c, are now reaching temperatures of 90°c+. I had an overclock of 5ghz at 1.3v but I have since returned to factory clock speed yet I am still crashing. While at normal clock speeds, my temperatures reach around 65°c when running a CPU benchmark. I think the cooler may have shifted while the PC was being moved and I may have to reseat it but otherwise, I'm convinced my CPU is fine.
I really need help fixing this, not having a reliable desktop is seriously causing me to struggle with my now online courses. Below I have included my minidumps as well as my system log. Any help would be appreciated.
