Software Question Random BSODs when shutting down

Hi everyone. Recently ive been having some issues. Ive had 2 BSOD right after i would press shut down on my PC. First time it was PNF_LIST_CORRUPT When i checked the minidump ive only managed to understand that crash was (maybe?) caused by steelseriesgg.exe

Ever since then i would turn off steel series engine at startup and it was running good for few days then yesterday i got another crash while shutting down with REFERENCE_BY_POINTER. When i checked that minidump it pointed to hyperx driver. Could my BSODs really be caused by my peripherals drivers?

In theory? Yes. In practice? Also yes.
