PC came out of sleep after which I heard the sound windows makes when you add or remove a USB after which I was presented with the BSOD IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, BSOD viewer gives the following :
ntoskrnl.exe ntoskrnl.exe+518bce fffff804`6e400000 fffff804`6f446000 0x01046000 0xed9dc31e 4/29/2096 5:01:34 PM

I've also attached the sysnativecollection.

Desktop
Windows 10 64 bit
Ryzen r5 3600
Corsair Vengeance LPX @ XMP Profile 1 3200mhz (has been running at this for a year now)
GTX 1080 EVGA
Gigabyte A520M D3SH (Latest BIOS)
No overclocks, no anti-virus (apart from windows defender)

I've run memtest not too long ago for 4 passes and it didn't show any errors. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It seems that your graphics card driver is causing issues, I would suggest looking for an update if possible:

Hello,

Thank you very much. I'll DDU and update my GPU drivers. I'll update you if I run into this again, I appreciate your help.
 
Just had another bsod:

"Critical Structure Corruption" I was just browsing on chrome when it happened. Had to restart on the BSOD screen as it wouldn't restart for me. I attached the sysnative app file below as well as a screenshot of BSOD Viewer.

Currently running driver verifier as you suggested. PC is being very slow and sluggish but no BSOD as of yet.

Out of curiosity, driver verifier has been running for an hour now and I'll run it for a minimum of 24 hours as suggested in the link above. If I don't BSOD under driver verifier, what would the next steps be? I wish these BSOD's were more common and less cryptic so they could be troubleshooted.
 
Understood, thank you for continuing to bear with me. I appreciate you helping me out immensely.

Hiya blue, I'm back.

No bsod's yet but found something interesting.

I was checking the AMD forums and found a thread that stated that this could be causing by a rare CPU issue in early Ryzen 5 3600 so I ran Prime 95 Small FTT's as suggested by the thread and after an hour got Hardware failure on one of the cores, temperatures never went above 90C. Is this seeming like a CPU issue that is causing the BSOD's.

Thanks for letting me know, that is likely to be the issue or at least something which will need to be addressed. If you haven't already, then I would suggest disabling Driver Verifier for now.

Is there any chipset updates from the AMD support page for your processor?
 
Driver Verifier has been disabled. Chipset drivers have been updated to the latest version.

Edit:

All drivers from my mobo support page are also up to date.

This thread from 2019 is also eerily similar to my current issue, thought it doesn't reference the critical structure corruption. I'll leave it to you to see if it's related since i'm hopeless when it comes to BSOD codes.

[SOLVED] - IRQL BSODs
 
Was that before or after you discovered the error with Prime95?

This was before. I also checked to see if it was an issue with the chipset for some reason. I tested with both my motherboard latest chipset drivers and AMD's website drivers. Please take a look at the edit in my earlier post as well. Something I'd like to add, don't know if it would be helpful, when I first started having this issue I reinstalled windows on an SSD that I bought just to rule out if my current one had issues. Upon installing my chipset drivers along with nvidia drivers I started getting "Memory management" and "page fault in nonpaged area" BSOD's though I haven't seen them at all since I reinstalled windows again with all the necessary drivers - this was 2 weeks ago - the current bsod's started 2 days ago.
 
Hi again blue, went to a computer shop today and bought a new motherboard, did the same test with the same CPU and configuration on the new MOBO and p95 doesn't give any errors. Will check over the next few days if I bsod and update you.
 
Okay, thanks for the update, please let us know how it goes. Hopefully it will resolve the issue for you.
