Windows 11 volmgr 162 kernel-power 41 BSOD

Hi, I've been having a really consistent issue for months now involving my PC randomly hanging up and blue screening regardless of what applications are open (could be several gpu/cpu intensive ones like games, streams etc., could be none at all). Looking at my event viewer, I can see the error always immediately preceding the kernel-power 41 critical error is the volmgr 162 error:

System Specs:

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz

Display NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060

Installed RAM 32.0 GB

System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Edition Windows 11 Home

Version 21H2

Installed on ‎6/‎6/‎2022

OS build 22000.739

Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22000.739.0

Over the last several months I've:

- Reset my PC while saving files + local installation

- Reset my PC without saving files + cloud installation

- Used 8 consecutive memtest86 passes to determine nothing is wrong with my RAM or DIMM slots

- Stress tested my GPU with FurMark for 30+ minutes to determine nothing is wrong with my GPU

- Run WMIC to check my SSDs, both came back "OK"

Not really sure where to go from here, but interestingly I did find this when looking at my disks and volumes under system>storage

Note that it says "Full repair needed" under the FAT32 section of my boot drive. Not sure how to repair that or if it's relevant for this.

Can't attach the DMP file to this post but it probably has a lot more detail for anyone who knows how to interpret it. Appreciate any help at this point, thanks.

I mean repair service. Unfortunately the only reliable method to find a faulty hardware component at home is to replace components one by one. But this is too expensive.

Igor, happy to report I've solved the issue by replacing my motherboard. I haven't experienced a kernel event or the volmgr error since a week ago before I swapped my mobo. Thanks for all of your great advice, happy to put this behind me!
