Recently modified the BIOS, yet encountered multiple BSOD errors afterward.
Specs:
Motherboard - MSI B450 Tomahawk Max
CPU - Ryzen 5 3600
RAM: T-Force DDR4 64GB (16x4) 3600Mhz (considered excessive, but aiming for future readiness).
GPU: Gigabyte Radeon AMD RX 5700 XT
PSU Seasonic Focus GX 750W
Windows 10

I started with the default BIOS from MSI (version 7C02v30, released 2019-07-11).
After updating to version 7C02v3G (released 2023-04-27), several distinct BSOD messages appeared.
Reviewing the reliability logs, here are the recorded issues:

- A hardware-related problem led Windows to cease functioning properly.
- Event: LiveKernelEvent
- Code: 141
- Parameters: ffff9f868ad04460, fffff802a09c50c0, 0, 1f5c

- OS version: 10_0_19045
- Service Pack: 0_0
- Product: 768_1
- Locale ID: 2057

- Another hardware-related error occurred.
- Event: LiveKernelEvent
- Code: a2000002
- Parameters: c8, 0, 0, 0

I disabled XMP in the updated BIOS, but the problem continued. I reverted to the earlier BIOS and everything is now operational with XMP active, though I remain uncertain about long-term stability.

Initially, I thought the issue was with my RAM, but according to MSI’s documentation, the B450 model supports 4 DIMM slots for T-Force RAM (SK Hynix chipset).
Should I adjust any BIOS settings to ensure compatibility with my hardware?
Best regards

If I were you, I would have slowly progressed to the newest BIOS instead of immediately switching to the latest one. Try to reset the CMOS then test with two RAM sticks to check if the system becomes stable or functional again.
