Windows 10: Games crashing randomly with accompanying BSOD ntoskrnl.exe driver

System info:ASUS b660m-a wifi D4Intel I5-12400FEVGA RTX 3070 FTW34x8GB Corsair LPX3200m.2 NVME SSD HP EX900 boot drive with Windows 10Samsung Evo 1tb Sata SSD also has Windows 10 from previous machineHi all. Recently I have purchased a new to me PC. I removed my SATA SSD from my old machine and put it into the new PC and copied some games etc over. I opted to run with the fresh WIN10 install on the new NVME SSD while keeping the SATA as an overflow drive. The problem is effectively this. I have BSOD'd multiple times in the first few days of running this machine. Games I play like Elden Ring

Hang on a second, no. As far as the rules are concerned VPNs from legitimate sources are not illegal. You don't have the right to 'force' someone to remove a piece of software that:

1. Is not causing the issue related to the crashes
2. is not pirated software or illegal

Cloudflare WARP does not have a windivert file that I can find, even if it did, again, its not against the forum rules because it is not an illegal system file in of itself.

• Update your Realtek audio driver.
• Update your computer.
• Disable overclocking settings.
• Turn off BlueStacks/ another Android emulator.
• Clean your registry.
• Check your disk for errors.
• Fix bad memory issues.
• Remove faulty sticks of RAM.
• I hope these methods help you!

In that case I haven't a clue. I haven't personally used pirated software in a few years. Multiple searches for WinDivert.sys/WinDivert64.sys completes with zero results so I'm unsure. I have a VPN and wireshark installed, or at least I did but haven't uninstalled it properly because a few of its files disappeared. It's the same with ccleaner and other programs, sometimes if I haven't used them in a long time they randomly disappear. I'll continue my search for this system file. Moving on from that anyway, attempted a DISM scan just in case but its clean.

Ran the official WinDivertTool removal from their github:
