Welcome to the forum!

There were no dumps uploaded, but that's because you haven't been having true BSODs, not in the span of your System log anyway ( from 1st July). I do see the crashes however, and these kinds of unhandled crash tend to be hardware related.

One thing I do notice in your System log is a few of these BIOS error messages...

Code:

Event[3371]:

ACPI is the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface, it's the way in which power state transitions are handled. These messages appear to be because the BIOS is trying to make ACPI power transitions to something that doesn't exist? I'm not saying that this is definitely your problem, but it doesn't look right to me - especially the 'this could lead to system instability' comment.

I can see that your ASRock B360M motherboard is an OEM version, so I don't know which of the five variants of that model that ASRock make is yours (if any, it may be an OEM modified version). I can see that your BIOS version is dated 17th July 2019 and all five variants have a latest BIOS version that supersede that date. However, I would look first on your OEM vendor's website for an updated BIOS version, I'd even suggest calling the OEM vendor to check for a later version. It may well be that the generic versions on the ASRock website are not suitable for your OEM board - flashing one of those could potentially brick your board.

I can see that you've run the Windows memory diagnostic. That was a wise move, but the Windows tool is not very thorough. Since these issues could well be RAM related I'd suggest you download Memtest86 (free), use the imageUSB.exe tool extracted from the download to make a bootable USB drive (1GB is big enough), and then boot that USB drive. Memtest86 will start running as soon as it boots. If no errors have been reported after the four iterations that the free version does, then restart Memtest86 and do another four iterations.
