Various random BSODs throughout the day

September of last year I updated majority of the parts in my system (motherboard, cpu, ram), and since then I've had random BSODs all pointing to different things at random intervals. Recently it hasn't been happening super frequently, but still occurs once in a while.

I've run memtest for 1 pass with no fails, uninstalled programs that showed up in some of the minidumps (steam.exe, spotify.exe), and removed some programs that are known to be common causes of crashes (malwarebytes). I ran driver verifier for 8 hours on three separate occasions and couldn't get any BSOD. I've also swapped and reseated the RAM on my mobo but that seemed to not change anything at all. I also updated the BIOS to 2 separate versions to see if it would be stable on one of them.

I tried to get this solved over at Tom's Hardware Forums, but couldn't pin down the issue. I'll go ahead and link it as it provides A LOT of information that could be useful.

Even if it means I have to RMA my parts to fix this, I don't care. It's so frustrating that this happens.

I will continue to provide the minidumps, but here's them so far: DESKTOP-I5LO8RP-(2021-07-24_11-32-46).zip

Update BIOS - https://rog.asus.com/pl/motherboards.../helpdesk_bios
Reinstall AMD chipset driver (you are missing a driver for the TPM module)

Did both, will keep you updated if I get another crash.

Well, that didn't take long to crash again. Completely unprompted like usual.

Here's the log file: DESKTOP-I5LO8RP-(2021-07-26_00-53-11).zip

Test RAM with memtest86 - MemTest86+ - Test RAM
Also connect the RAM to other slots, start the computer with only one RAM chip and check the efficiency of all RAM chips and replace the RAM with another one

Ran memtest86 for around 13 hours for 7 passes on both sticks. No errors. I'll test the individual sticks later throughout the day, but I don't think anything will show as I've done these tests before on them.

Also, before I started memtest yesterday I had another crash. Here it is: DESKTOP-I5LO8RP-(2021-07-27_09-11-16).zip

Individual stick memtest had no errors for 6 passes each.

On the other hand, there were a few crashes since the last post. Unprompted as usual.

More crashes just keep coming. Anything to try and fix this would help a lot.

I'll pause from posting the crashes for now, but is there anything that can be done to try and find the issue? I'm thinking of RMAing my mobo.

I think it's time for me to provide an update as I'm still utterly confused on how I'm still getting crashes.

First, my motherboard was RMA'd and they sent me a new one. Said it was giving "random POST". Had that installed for 2-3 weeks now but still had daily crashes. Haven't updated BIOS or anything for it.

Second, I replaced my old GPU with a brand new 3060ti as that was the only part not replaced yet. Still got the daily crashes even after wiping drivers and reinstalling them.

Third, I just wiped Windows the other day and didn't login with my Microsoft account so that it was all offline in case the sync was causing issues. Only got to install 3 programs and then it crashed. This was 10-15 mins after the fresh install. PC rebooted, and again 10 mins later a crash. One more reboot and same thing, 10 mins passed and another crash. I never had it this frequent before, and maybe this might provide some info. I'll attach the minidumps in a bit, just need an opportunity to get on and post before it crashes.

I re-ran memtest86 again just to make sure the RAM wasn't an issue, 8 passes complete with 0 errors.

This is driving me crazy at this point. The only things that could be the cause is the case, the cpu (not sure how to test it), or the SSD (very very rare as I've installed Windows on 2 different ones and still had crashes). If anyone can find anything that points to something that would be amazing.

Im still looking thru crash files, but question, when you say you rma'd the motherboard, did they say they repaired yours or replaced it?

They replaced it.

Also here are the crash files since the new install of Windows: DESKTOP-QLBFHR5-(2021-09-11_18-16-36).zip
