Windows 10: BSODs/Game crashes when playing certain games

This notably started after I upgraded my CPU to an I5-11400, which was already a replacement for an 11400f which I had the same issues as I thought it was a hardware failure at first. I can do most tasks completely fine until I run games such as GTA V and Rainbow Six Siege where the game crashes or, in the case of Siege, I get a bluescreen within minutes. However, I can play games such as Team Fortress 2 and Counter Strike completely fine for hours.

BSOD when playing certain games

I get BSOD's when playing certain games; Deus Ex Mankind Divided, Civilization VI, and Witcher 3. However, I don't get BSOD's when playing Crysis 3, or Call of Duty Infinite Warfare. The driver that's causing it is Hal.dll. My PSU is new, and I ran the windows memory test and it reported no errors. I'm at a loss. Crash file is attached.
