Are you using these ones (click)?
Do you have alternative mouse and keyboard to try instead of those ones?
Are there any other devices attached? If yes, please describe them.
Nah, I use a4tech Bloody P85-sport and a4tech B188 keyboard.
Yeah I tried to use another keyboard with unplugged mouse, but I didn't get rid of bsods. I got LAN cable, mouse and keyboard, HDMI for monitor and power supply cable and also HyperX Stinger headphones plugged into PC. ( Maybe I should try to plug another power supply cable? - I got one from my 10 year old computer.
I found you have got the file peauth.sys dated Mon 12 Jan 2015 02:52:12, its size (on disk?) seems to be 876 544 (bytes).
Mine is dated 19 Feb 2020 19:29:22, its size is 798 KB (817,152 bytes), its version is 10.0.18.362.295.
Do you, by chance, know why?
Tbh I don't know why, maybe it's some kind of virus? But i scanned my PC month ago and didn't find anything except of some registry and confidential/cookies problems.
P.s.: By the way, I noticed that on my computer my headphones periodically emit crackles and squeaks. I didn’t notice this on my old laptop before, maybe this is because the headphones are already 2-3 years old, maybe the problem is in the audio drivers or sound card or something like that?
You appear to be on Windows 10, 1903, which is why your peauth.sys is a bit dated, that is compared to the current most recent version Windows 10 1909.
I'd proceed in this way:
1) Open an elevated command prompt (right-click on start, click command prompt (admin) and launch chkdsk for each one of your partitions/drives; example:
3) If its result is "no integrity violations", update windows to the latest version
4) Update these drivers from your manufacturer website (if you didn't already do it):
- Intel INF installation (Note) Win10 ver.1903 supported. [10.1.18243.8188] 2020/03/10
- Intel Serial I/O driver (Note) Win10 ver.1903 supported. [30.100.1915.1] 2019/06/12

You have two methods: Q-Flash or @BIOS.
From the manual:
@BIOS is a Windows-based utility that searches and downloads the latest version of BIOS from the Internet and updates the BIOS.
Given that you have BSODs in windows, I'd avoid this method.
Therefore Q-Flash should be the preferred method.
Make sure to don't update the BIOS during a storm (thunderstorm, rainstorm) and (if possible) that power from the mains won't go away - won't be interrupted.
Download the F3a BIOS version.
Update the BIOS using q-flash; below this line are present full instructions:
Put the downloaded BIOS, B365MAE.F3a, in a USB stick.
Reboot your machine/pc, press the end key (on your keyboard) just after the reboot and Q-Flash should pop-up:
Use the up or down arrow key to select Save Main BIOS to Drive and press enter (on the keyboard) to save the current BIOS file in your USB stick (or in one of your hard disk drives).
Select Update BIOS from Drive, press enter.
Select the F3a BIOS update file on your USB stick and press enter.
It will ask you "Are you sure to update BIOS?": press enter to begin the BIOS update.
The monitor will display the update process. Do not turn off or restart the system when the system is reading/updating the BIOS. Do not remove the USB stick when the system is updating the BIOS.
When the update process is complete, press any key to return to the main menu.
Press esc (the esc key on the keyboard) and then enter to exit Q-Flash and reboot the system.
During the POST (i.e., just right after the reboot), press delete (or del, key on your keyboard) to enter BIOS Setup.
Select Load Optimized Defaults and press enter to load BIOS defaults.
Select Save & Exit Setup and then press Y (yes, the Y key on your keyboard) to save settings to CMOS and exit BIOS Setup.
Finally, save your two BIOSs in a safe place for the future (i.e., in case you'll need them) and you can use again your USB stick for other purposes.

-About Chipset drivers - I've updated 2 of them, because Serial IO driver give an error : this platform is not supported.
I will update BIOS and do RAMTESTs later.
Yes, now it says : no integrity violations.
And after that I've updated Windows ( 3 updates in total : framework 3.5-4.8 KB4552931, security stuff, cumulative update KB4556799 )
P.s. : Also I've passed RAM tests and got 0 errors in both of them.
BIOS is F3a now as well. But I noticed, that after BIOS update I can't get into <msinfo32> it says :
Unable to collect information.
No access to WMI tools. Windows management files have been moved or deleted.
I already have this version installed. Even made clean installation several times.
Maybe it is a hardware problem, but how to identify the culprit of Bsods
Sooo, I have checked my RAM sticks ( didn't check them separately ).
At first I checked both sticks it took like 1 hour and a half, then one stick by itself and it stopped responding ( I tried to Esc ) on 81% in total and 63% on the 2nd stage after 2 hours of work.
It is written, that it can took many hours to check, but I think something went wrong, cuz 2 sticks took 1.5 hours and one by itself took more than 7 hours and still didn't give any results. So I rebooted my computer, because I needed to use it.
By the way, first test with 2 sticks said, that everything is ok. But the 2nd test with 1 stick went wrong ( as I think ). Will try to check it tonight one more time and 2nd stick by itself as well.
