I've been having this BSOD issue for a while. It occurs mostly when playing games, though sometimes it just happens even on desktop.

System specs:

OS: Windows 10 Pro (64-bit)

CPU: AMD FX-6350

RAM: 16 GB DDR3 2133 G.Skill Ripjaws X Series (4x4GB)

GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 950

HDD: 240 GB SSD for OS, 1 TB hybrid drive for everything else

Case: Corsair 200R

PSU: Cooler Master RS500-ACAAB1-US

It seems to crash more frequently on games that are more graphically intense, e.g. Star Wars: Battlefront, Overwatch. However, it does crash occasionally on games like League of Legends. Adjusting graphics settings doesn't seem to have an effect in the frequency or timing of BSODs.

Things I've tried. I have swapped the graphics card since this has started occurring. I have also installed an additional intake case fan to improve airflow. I have reinstalled the OS twice, this issue existed when the computer was running windows 7.

Here's the DMP file from the most recent crash https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5733-lZykKAWjBHMF9oMzlZS3VsbnNaVElpdTNRSTduTWNz

Any assistance or insight into this issue would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
 
something corrupted a drivers data, caused it to attempt to read from a bogus memory address.

you should update your BIOS to the current version and install the 3 fixed drivers for windows 10

my first guess would be the old audio driver was the cause of this bugcheck but it is only a guess. Ie you could just update just the audio driver and see if your problem goes away.
