Irql not less or equal

Hi guys so i got this BSOD a few days ago and i posted some logs to the LTT forum but i thought id post some here too. I dunno if the collector recommended on this site got it but i provided it here too in the attachments. I also provided a link to the log asked for by LTT forum members

Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online. (the one on Linus forum using their collection tool)
According to one of them they believe its an unstable OC from my memory (it was on my QVL list for my CPU and motherboard combo a g.skill trident z neo kit 2x16gb @ 3600) but im not too sure on that.

I'm on Windows 20H2 with latest stable BIOS and chipset updates from AMD

Then undo your OC and reset your RAM settings to default

I'd rather not have the "set to default and be done with it option" be the solution especially since its a Ryzen PC. I got this RAM because it was approved on the QVL list for DOCP on my MB and CPU.

Well, but did you check other RAM settings though? You have to exclude something, and looking at memory dumps, drivers and software in general, I would definitely rule out

I think my issue is is that it happens at random intervals it doesn't feel consistent. Like sometimes it might happen a couple of times a day but then it will go on for like 2 weeks to a month before it even happens again. Right now after running ROG realbench overnight it passed again but if it does come up im going to try upping the DRAM voltage from 1.35 to 1.36. It could just need a little tiny bit more power to be completely stable.

This stop code, (known as bugcheck "A" )usually means unstable manual core OC or not enough Vcore for the core OC. (unless a PSU problem)
It usually appears when gaming or running Linpack and the CPU being unstable.

For me, it was always unstable CPU core. The last time I received it, was when my Pentium E2180 (65nm Core 2 Duo under the Pentium guise, with less L2 cache) needed more Vcore.

Hmmm it could be precision boost is a different version from x470 to x570? My newer board could be trying to push it harder?

Anyway i just got a different BSOD. Kernel security check failure... Here are the logs... Please i am just at my wits end. I know BSODs happen but i'm just getting absolutely sick of it happening randomly with different errors and not even showing the file thats causing it when it happens on the bottom of the screen

EDIT: Just got another one within 20 bloody minutes! This time memory management

EDIT2: FFS I GOT ANOTHER ONE! this time reference by pointer another zip file uploaded...

That other stop code, makes it more likely to be bad PSU caps. (all sorts of errors)

I didn't think Corsair had bad caps? this is a fairly new PSU only 8 months in use. RM750X i got when i got my 3070. Or are we talking about motherboard another purchase around 8 months ago?

Makes me wonder if the motherboard is defective.....
