BSOD ingame with DC penalty
Hi,
I'm having a lot of BSOD since the last update. BSOD is (generally) of type WIN8_DRIVER_FAULT with a system driver attached.
SYSTEM : Windows 10 Professionnal correctly updated (last update was KB4579311).
PHYSICAL CONFIGURATION
MOTHERBOARD : STRIX Z270F GAMING, processor Intel Core i7 7700K
RAM : 2*DDR4 8Go, same model.
Graphical card : NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080
Storage : SamsungSSD860PRO1TB with Samsung Magician installed. The SSD hosts the OS aswell as the game files.
PSU : Corsair RM550x Modulaire - 550W
ISSUE :
Joining a game as survivor or killer without issue.
Crashing in the middle of the game without any preemptive signs.
Most of the time it results in a BSOD IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
1/5th of the time it only crashes and exits the game with a bug report.
Getting DC Penalty
Does not happen in all party but when it happens once it then happen multiple times in a row if I have the audacity to launch other parties.
LOGS & CRASH REPORTS :
Attaching DBD logs as well as my last Windbg report that occured during the game.
Last crash happened at Fri Nov 6 20:58:31.841 2020 (UTC + 1:00)

I reinstalled the game on 5th November and played on the evening this day without issue.
ALREADY TRIED :
Disabling EIST on BIOS.
Playing without Discord.
Updating drivers/system.
Uninstalling GeForce Experience and only installing GeForce drivers manually.
Uninstalling completely the game and reinstalling it.
Testing components.
Pushing components to their maximum capacity with OCCT without crash.
Playing other Steam Games without issue like Left4Dead2, Among us, Hellblade, Payday 2...
Playing Overwatch (Battle.net) without issue.
Samsung Magician diagnostic scans show healthy SSD memory.
Disabling material acceleration on discord and browsers.
ADDITIONAL INFOS :
I experienced once this issue (WIN8_DRIVER_FAULT) with Overwatch when it was copied from a Windows 8 computer and pasted on my current Win10 computer and I resolved it by reinstalling the game.
It seems that it happens most of the time when I am talking on Discord but it could be a coincidence.
I had to replace my prior defective PSU (same model as current) and to replace my CMOS battery.
I also experienced and seem to be the only one in my SWF group the fact that my character was behaving the same way as other characters when they got hooked (and then floating in the air, moving in the hooked position). Strangely enough my games never crashed when this happened.
What I still can try is to try to play with Samsung Magician to see if I can parameter something. For now I have RAPID mode disabled and TRIM mode activated, with 95Go overprovisioning don't know if somebody knows if it has to be configured otherwise ?
For now this issue is ruining my game experience with DBD.
Thank you for your help.
