I am having a consistent BSOD when watching YouTube. It usually happens somewhere between 10 and 20 minutes into a video. I have tried a number of troubleshooting steps and I haven't been able to figure out what's going on.
Code:
Problem Event Name:    BlueScreen
Code:    139
Parameter 1:    3
Parameter 2:    ffffc087a52d1ad0
Parameter 3:    ffffc087a52d1a28
Parameter 4:    0
OS version:    10_0_22621
Service Pack:    0_0
Product:    256_1
OS Version:    10.0.22621.2.0.0.256.48
Locale ID:    4105

I have made sure everything is updated. I am running Windows 11 version 22H2 (OS Build 22621.2070).

I have already run the following:
Code:
sfc /scannow
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

I ran a memory test using the built-in Dell diagnostics tool and everything passed. The computer has 2 RAM sticks, I tried running 1 stick at a time in each of the 4 memory slots and the BSOD persisted.

I also ran the driver verifier tool using the recommended settings in the pinned topic.

Here's the output of the V2 log collector

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

"Houston, we've got a problem!"

Well, since YouTube can put a REAL workload on both the CPU, and the GPU, and associated circuitry, and your problem does not come up till you've been on YouTube for a while, I'd have to think "HEAT" as my first guess. It might even be a heat problem inside your PSU (main power supply.) They get hot too, and parts can fail. I've even had to replace the fans inside a PSU. Or just clean and re-lubricate them.

It could be CPU getting hot, or even the GPU getting hot.
As a first step toward a fix, I would clean all my fans and make sure they are turning freely. Also, during troubleshooting, I might remove the side panels, (if this is a desktop PC) and set up a fan to blow air into the case.
[I live in a house, in Florida, with NO AC, so I don't even put the side panels on my two full size desktop PC's.] And I never experience heat problems. Once a year, or sooner, all my fans get cleaned and lubricated, where possible.

Treat this as a heat related problem and I hope you get it fixed.

Good Luck!

Addendum: I wouldn't recommend that you enable Driver Verifier at all because it's not going to catch anything and please do not enable the options which zbook suggests as will potentially just cause you further problems.

This is very likely to be a driver issue from what I can see, consistently attempting to free an _LIST_ENTRY from a doubly linked list which is probably the following _CM_DELAY_DEREF_KCB_ITEM from what I can find from the call stack.

Thanks for the suggestions! I ran Prime95 and FurMark at the same time for 20 minutes. The CPU reached a max of 87C and the GPU reached a max of 85C but it didn't BSOD.

I currently have Driver Verifier running

Hmm, it is very old so I wouldn't bother, although, it does suggest that your dump file settings may not be the default as you should have had a new MEMORY.DMP written for your most recent crashes. Do you remember changing them at any point? It should be set to automatic, please refer to the following tutorial: Change BSOD Crash Memory Dump File Type in Windows 11 Tutorial

The comments made by x BlueRobot refer you to a memory dump dated 2021.
They actually don't because admittedly I didn't check that information, rather I asked for a kernel memory dump since this issue is going to be difficult to effectively troubleshoot without one. I actually wanted to check two pieces of key information: the I/O request being sent and the registry key being unloaded as it may provide us with a clue as to what is causing the crashes.

Please follow the steps in post #3.
Could you please explain why those Driver Verifier settings are relevant to this situation?

There are 4 of those settings which should not be enabled at all, two of which are deprecated in Windows 11 and one which can cause a number of problems and is not generally recommended by Microsoft.

This is my Dad's computer and I before I had a look at it I think he talked with Dell, who may have changed the memory dump setting for him. I've changed it to Automatic now.

I've changed it to Automatic now.
Thanks, when the system crashes again, it should hopefully update the MEMORY.DMP file to the date of the crash. If it doesn't, then we can investigate further but I don't foresee any reason for it to not do so. Additionally, I would strongly suggest that you disable "Systematic low resources simulation", as per the cautionary advice from Microsoft:

Caution This option is not intended for use when you are verifying all (or a large collection of) drivers on a computer. This option should be used only when you are doing targeted testing of individual drivers or their attached filter drivers. Using this option on a large number of drivers at the same time could cause unpredictable results, and could force crashes in components unrelated to the driver(s) you are testing.
Source: Systematic low resources simulation - Windows drivers

I still stand by my suggestion of not having Driver Verifier enabled for this particular crash though.

If there were no major performance problems including very slow boot please restart WDV with all customized test settings except:

[ ] 0x00000004 Randomized low resources simulation.
Could you please explain why this setting is relevant along with the others you have suggested? I will assume that if you do not respond then you can't justify it and therefore should not be recommending as such.

Please follow the steps as per post #11.
Okay, so you can't justify it and therefore should not be making such recommendations.

Here's the latest log file

A memory.dmp file was created properly this time. Here it is.

I can retry with the new driver verifier settings. The BSOD was the same so I don't think it has affected any of the results.

Thanks!

It looks like the registry key which was being referenced was related to some Microsoft Office telemetry key?

Interesting, looks like the IOCTL request was regarding getting the light intensity? It seems to refer to a struct which is simply a RGB value. I'm not sure what it is for but it seems that this API is used by media streaming devices, like video capture cards and cameras etc. It would help explain why the system appears to always crash while you're using YouTube.

I'm completely baffled as to what that WscVReg.sys driver belongs to? I believe it might be a system driver and it only seems to be interested in registry operations.

Some steps to do:

Code:
reg query "HKLM\WC\SILO063A5EE3-F55B-4D51-B5CC-26CE97198778USER_SID"

I suspect that the registry key may be volatile and only loaded when required so it wouldn't surprise me if it returns not found.

Let's try and find more information about that driver:

FRST Registry Search
1. Click your Start button and type in cmd.
2.After you find the Command Prompt, right click on it and select Run as Administrator.
3. Copy and paste the following into the Command Prompt:

reg load HKLM\DRIVERS C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\DRIVERS

4. Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.
Note: You need to run the 64-bit Version so please ensure you download that one.
5. Run FRST64 by Right-Clicking on the file and choosing Run as administrator.
6. Copy and paste WscVReg into the Search box and click the Search Registry button.
7. When the scan is complete a notepad window will open with the results. Please attach this to your next reply. It is saved on your desktop named SearchReg.txt.

We may have to setup Sysmon to try and see what is accessing that key as well.

If there were no performance problem including very slow boot please restart WDV with all customized test settings.
