BSOD "Bad_Pool_Caller" - Ntoskrnl.exe HALP

Figured I might as well try to ask for help here since nothing I've tried via google has helped me. I recently built my first computer back in March and did not have any problems with it running up until about sometime in April when it started to crash every know and then with a "Bad_Pool_Caller" error. I checked that all my drivers were updated but I had a feeling it might have been my shitty GTX 1050 I have that is slightly overclocked so a friend told me to remove all the Nvidia drivers and remove the GPU from the computer, run it, and then put it back in and reinstall everything. I though that actually worked since the problem didn't happen for a while but then it came back and has been happening everyday for about a month now. I ran the windows memory test and that came back with nothing, tried various commands in the CMD (as far as I know) that searched/fixed stuff but still nothing. Downloaded DriverEasy to have it scan and update all my drivers for me but still have crashes. I ran a MemTest86 last night and that passed with no errors and I setup the Minidump file reporting and analyzed that online and it came up with the IMAGE_NAME:  ntoskrnl.exe

Even though I have a locked CPU I have toyed with the ASUS auto overclocking profiles that is said to boost your RAM/CPU a little but I turned that off after reading somewhere that people have had the ntoskrnl.exe crash from their CPU overworking or something. I have no clue anymore and figured someone here might be smarter than me in this or have experience with it lol 

 

Most notably I'll be running NMZ for about 5+ hours with nothing else open while I am away, when I come back home I'll start using my computer while I have that running and a crash will usually happen an hour or two after that. Is it possible that running the bot on my computer is causing this while I try to multi-task activities? I.e. web browsing + powerpoints/pdfs (when I'm studying)? Weirdly enough I'm pretty fucking sure I've started my computer and logged in after leaving it off over night, went to the bathroom, and came back to my computer restarted as if it crashed from nothing (might have been a windows update)
