Windows 10 Getting BSOD with stop code IRQL_GT_ZERO_AT_SYSTEM_SERVICE when transferring files to USB external drives

I have been spinning my wheels and trying everything for days, including all of the suggested fixes just short of completely reinstalling Windows 10


Setup: I am a video producer. I have 2 12TB RAID drives manufactured by Glyph, these are formatted for Mac (HFSJ) and I use MacDrive 10 to connect and work from them. I have other NTFS external and internal drives for backups and other data storage. I also have a HDD dock by Sabrent to do other backups and footage imports from cameras.


This setup has worked perfectly for me up until 5 days ago when I reconfigured the setup of my desk and moved my computer and drives around and reconnected everything back up. Suddenly now, when I try to copy files from the dock to the external Glyphs it goes OK for a minute and then BSOD's with the IRQL_GT_ZERO_AT_SYSTEM_SERVICE or at minimum it seems to "corrupt" the receiving drive which I then have to repair with MacDrive.


So you'd think it was the HDD dock then, right? Not so fast. The dock seems to be able to transfer files just fine to external and internal drives that are not formatted for Mac. And when copying from an NTFS drive to either of the HFSJ Drives (with the dock turned off completely) the same crash or corruption happens again. But if copying from the HFSJ drives to NTFS drives again, there is no issue.


This leads me to think MacDrive is an issue but I upgraded to the pro version and reinstalled and the issue is still there.


So I have tried this:

Tons of tests between hard drives
SFC Scannow


Updating windows completely

Upgrading MacDrive with multiple fresh installs

Deleting old software

Updating all drivers

Trying third party system scan tools to find deep errors and corrupted files (found some and supposedly fixed them)

Running the memory diagnostic (no issues with RAM)


Running driver verifier. Driver verifier said "What failed: MDFSYSNT.sys" This driver seems to be both very old but also somehow used by MacDrive. I can't find anything on how to fix or update it specifically.


I am running out of possibilities here and really don't want to have to reinstall everything especially if it might be a hardware issue. Any help would be very appreciated.
