In case everything else fails, performing a complete Windows reinstall usually resolves the issue. I discovered this through my own experiences.

Here are some additional suggestions:
1. Click right-click on the Start menu icon located on the left side of the task bar, choose Command Prompt (Admin), and then input this command into the command line:
Code:
sfc /scannow
This will initiate a scan to verify all core system files. If any corrupt files are detected, it will try to repair them, often successfully. I perform this scan several times each month to ensure my operating system functions properly. Although it may appear to run smoothly, hidden background processes can cause problems with games and other applications.
2. Verify that DirectX is up to date by using the DirectX Web Installer.
3. Confirm that all C++ Redistributables are installed and current. Additionally, ensure you have the latest versions of the .NET Framework installed. These components are essential for many games to operate correctly. Keeping both updated will help your gaming experience.
I’ve simplified the process for you, so you won’t need to search online. I found a C++ all-in-one package on File Horse or a similar website and gathered all necessary .NET Framework versions from Microsoft. I’m planning a Windows reinstall soon, so these installers are ready to use.
I have uploaded them to a shared cloud folder for your convenience:

4. Once you complete the first three steps, proceed to check for Windows Updates.

Understanding the precise model number and manufacturer of the power supply is crucial for effective troubleshooting. Look at the label on the side of the unit.

Many folks cut corners on PSUs when assembling a PC. It's surprising how few realize just how crucial a good PSU is. A low-quality one can lead to odd problems and even ruin your system. I've heard some terrible tales about cheap PSUs exploding and destroying all the parts, so it's definitely worth investing a bit more for a reliable one. I always go with Seasonic—they've never let me down, not once in all my usage.

This might be the final stage because my SSD is nearly at zero capacity.
I will share updates later.
That link is available here: gyazo. com/347bc09050305d5c8298b19788657ac7 .png
It’s read-only unless I remove it and install Windows on the HDD, which would be a hassle.
One suggestion from a friend was to take it that route, but I’m doing it again now.
I tried it with DirectX and redistributable C++ or similar, but couldn’t post pictures here.
After the DDU, everything seems working fine with the latest Windows and drivers.
I also mentioned it could be verified by running DxDiag to confirm I’m using the latest features.
Unfortunately, I can’t share images right now.
The SSD and HDD conditions don’t seem to be causing the crashes.

A minor notice: the Windows update indicates you're already current, but it shows a different message.
Check the details and explore what's available in the PC Health Check app.
SFC scan results:

EVGA offers affordable power supplies, but their quality varies widely. Some users enjoy them for years, while others face frequent issues. The parts inside these units aren't top-tier, which can lead to failures or complications without warning.

i would indeed consider your advise when i upgrade next time but for now its not really an option.
as of now im trying to figure out the cause of the crashes, if there is something for sure that is "THE" problem as in a part of hardware, then i will replace it.
did you take a look at my hard drives conditions? would it be the cause?

This specific PSU model works well but isn't a cheap brand. Evga is similar to other companies—some produce poor products and some do better. I’d consider swapping the harddrives as soon as possible, especially the 240 SSD with the OS that’s causing problems.
I recommend replacing it with a 512gb drive or a 1tb one.
Check this list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rwtwJy
For the new OS, use a 512gb drive (ideal for Windows apps and Steam games).
Avoid NVMe 2tb unless you have a heatsink.

I looked at your suggestions for the hard drives, they look good and I saved them, but my motherboard doesn’t support NVMe in general and there are other issues too.
I’m fine replacing the hard disks, but I just want to confirm if this is the real problem and the crashes aren’t due to the GPU or something else.
