Are the BSoDs causing instability?

Yeah alrite. I plan to do that this week at some point.
But I read a lot of places, and it seems the current BSoD issues are usually software-related problems. So I really hope that's true.
😀
But I'll check what happens today since I downclocked.

An update here!
Since Wednesday, after lowering the clock speed to 4.9GHz, I didn’t see any BSoD messages and performed the same tasks as before, so there’s no noticeable change.
Today I tried increasing it back to 5.0GHz and encountered a BSoD after about eight hours of use.
Based on this, I think 5.0GHz is likely unstable for whatever reason.
Also, if the issue was related to RAM or software, I would have experienced a BSoD during the 4.9GHz session two days prior.

did you verify the ram? i believe the problem might be related to your ram or the motherboard...

It's his original character, he had no problems at 4.9Ghz.
His performance may fade over time.

I don’t have any. Should I run memtest86 or what’s the best way to check my RAM? Also, will turning off XMP make a difference? -- UPDATE: I changed my OC to 4.9GHz and got BSoD after 10 hours of load. I’m not sure what to do next. Any advice?

Run memtest86+ on each RAM stick separately.
Check if your RAM appears in the motherboard's memory compatibility list.

I haven't run memtest86 before, but it seems straightforward. It's sold through a PC building company.
I have an Asus Rog Strix Z390-F with Corsair Vengeance RGB 3000MHz at 16GB (2x8).
Does testing the XMP setting make any difference?

It's simple to use, just require an empty USB key.

The USB key triggers a boot process, right? And you're using MemTest86 for verification?

Yes, you simply start from it and press test using the keyboard. A single pass is sufficient.
