Hey there, I had some issues with my B.S.O.D. 2 times and my games kept crashing a lot—no matter what I did. Later I realized it was probably related to RAM (memory test), and EXPO might be the culprit since it’s often a simple fix. Now I’m stable on both my game and PC. I’m wondering if I should reset the RAM and how to do that properly.
P.S. The picture you mentioned looks similar to this one online.
Specs: CPU – Ryzen 5 7600, GPU – RX 6750 XT, RAM – Corsair (still unsure which model), Speed – 6000Mhz.

Which motherboard you need isn't specified, and the picture appears to be absent.
What does the BSOD error code indicate? It looks quite strange. Do you encounter the same issue when XMP is enabled and disabled? Try it with RAM in auto mode. Ensure all other configurations are also set to auto. Avoid PBO or curve optimizer—maybe reset CMOS first before testing.
If turning off EXPO resolved the issue, it suggests your RAM may not be compatible with your board or requires manual overclocking to reach its maximum performance. A slight increase in voltage along with a crashing solution might stabilize it. Make sure your components are listed in the QVL for your motherboard; if not, compatibility is likely the cause. Try overclocking manually if needed. If stability remains only with default settings, consider purchasing a different kit, preferably updated and in the QVL. Also verify your BIOS version—outdated versions might lack memory optimizations and newer fixes. AMD systems often face memory problems at launch, which are typically addressed in later updates.
Visit C:\Windows\Minidump to see if any minidump files exist. If present, return to the Windows directory and transfer the entire Minidump folder to your Downloads folder. Compress the copied folder and include it in a post. Please adhere strictly to instructions, as Windows warns against modifying files in this area. Note: The BSOD display isn't tied to the crash cause; it's a Windows glitch that may occur with monitors exceeding 1080p resolution.
I made a bios update to check if it would assist. I think it worked well—expo was enabled again and everything functioned perfectly so far. Odd since I was only three versions behind. Thanks for the support. Hope this doesn’t repeat.
