I just built a new gaming PC a few days ago, and today I got a BSOD. I tried to update the drivers and such but updating drivers for Gigabyte boards are a pain. I also downloaded BlueScreenView to check the dump files of the crash, and I have them but not sure how to upload. Two lines are in red, however, and they are as follows:

Ntfs.sys
ntoskrnl.exe

Not sure what to do with that info, maybe you guys can help!:)

Update: I've ran Memtest for one pass to see if there were any immediate red flags, and there were none. I also ran chkdsk on my SSD, internal and external HDD and there were no problems aswell. I doubt it's a hardware issue. My immediate guess would possibly be towards drivers or the OS. Would like to hopefully narrow it down further.

Ntfs.sys
