All systems updated except the GPU. Now my games are failing and Discord is also crashing while I have both running.

Experienced another BSOD recently when Riot games weren't accessible, but managed to re-download Vanguard. Created a Minidump.zip file.
It doesn't clearly indicate a problem, but a page fault suggests a memory-related issue. Pages are chunks of RAM, so this often points to RAM problems. This is similar to what happened with Vanguard in the first batch. Did you test both drives? If it fails with just one drive, RAM is unlikely the cause. Having two faulty drives is uncommon. I also noticed the memory speed is quite low—only 3600MT/s. With four sticks, it might default to a lower rate, which these newer CPUs seem to dislike. With two sticks, it could hint at something else. Unless you checked manually, it’s probably not RAM. Other factors like the CPU, storage, or motherboard can also cause similar symptoms. Sometimes corrupted drivers are blamed, but usually only a few files are involved, and here there aren’t many.
I adjusted the RAM clock speed manually because XMP settings seemed less stable. At first, I assumed the driver was linked to storage, so I replaced the SSD and reinstalled Windows to rule out storage issues. Now I suspect a problem with the motherboard, CPU, or memory. Although Geek Squad said it was a software issue, I’m unsure if they were reliable since nothing changed afterward.
