Question Blue screens Event 41 Kernel Power/ Bugcode 59 and Memtest86 failure ?

[PilotFlapjack12]

Computer has been throwing BSOD and hard crashes recently
Tried everything, verifier.exe, driver uninstalls, benchmarking from OCCT to 3DMark, nothing works
Ran memtest86 and got a bunch of errors (failed test).
Reseted the RAM and CPU, passed the test 8 hours later.

Got another hard cash, eventually reset the entire computer and reinstalled windows.
Downloaded the essential drivers (MB driver, Nvidia Drivers) and few games.
Launched Counter Strike, instant bluescreen. This is a red flag on new fresh install of windows
Bug code 59
Event 41 Kernel Power
Task Category 63

Eventually I would get looping bluescreens
Starting the computer, posting to windows and then BSOD right when I logged it
It would eventually fail to post at all until I took out 1 stick of ram.

Ran memtest86 twice, both failed. Failed Test Number 1 Failed Test Number 2
Bought brand new sticks of DDR5 ram from BestBuy this afternoon, failed as well.
New Ram Failed test

Could it be a faulty motherboard? CPU? PSU?

CPU: Intel Core i9-12900K
GPU: Nvidia RTX 4070-TS (Ti-Super)
SSD: Samsung 990 Pro M.2 2TB
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws S5 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5-6000
MBD: Asus PRIME Z790-V AX
PSU: Thermaltake Smart BM3 750 W 80+ Bronze Certified

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

BIOS version for your motherboard? You state a clean install for your OS, did you recreate the bootable USB installer to rule out a corrupt installer? Installing the OS in offline mode? Installing all necessary drivers in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator, while in offline mode?

How old is the PSU in your build? Have you tried one stick of ram? Might want to drop your existing ram kit onto another known working motherboard with the latest BIOS version to see if the issue persists. you can do the same for your processor to rule out it's integrated memory controller being faulty/failing.

Speaking of CPU's, what are you using to cool the processor?

To rule out your PSU as the issue, source(borrow not buy) a reliably built 750W unit from a friend or neighbor and see if the issue persists.
