I've experienced frequent BSODs and unexpected crashes on my PC for over a month. After checking forums, I discovered the errors are memory-related, so I replaced my RAM with Corsair Vengeance 3600 MHz units but it didn't fix the issue. Updating the BIOS to the latest version only worsened stability. I ran CPU stress tests using OCCT and Prime95, both crashed due to core errors. The system isn't overclocked and the BIOS is set to default. Could my CPU be faulty or can BIOS adjustments help with these problems? My current setup includes Windows 11, a Ryzen 5 3600, MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX, and a Corsair CX650 Zotac RTX2060. Thanks for your assistance!
