Config:

Crucial Ballistix Sport LT, 16 GB (2X8),2666MHz, DDR4, CL16

Bug check description: This indicates that an exception happened while executing a routine that transitions from non-privileged code to privileged code.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in a Microsoft module. Your system configuration may be incorrect. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver on your system that cannot be identified at this time.

Bug check description: This indicates that Microsoft Windows or a kernel-mode driver accessed paged memory at DISPATCH_LEVEL or above. This is a software bug.
This bug check belongs to the crash dump test that you have performed with WhoCrashed or other software. It means that a crash dump file was properly written out.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.

This may be a case of memory corruption. More often memory corruption happens because of software errors in buggy drivers, not because of faulty RAM modules. Memory corruption can also occur because of overheating (thermal issue). There is a possibility this problem was caused by a virus or other malware.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.

already tried scannow, dism, etc. None of that worked

Ancillary Function Driver for WinSock
this is used by windows to talk to Network drivers, so try updating ethernet or wifi, whichever you use

is an unusual error. IN that, its not common.

my 1st reaction to unusual errors is run memtest
Try running memtest86 on each of your ram sticks, one stick at a time, up to 4 passes. Only error count you want is 0, any higher could be cause of the BSOD. Remove/replace ram sticks with errors. Memtest is created as a bootable USB so that you don’t need windows to run it

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

How old is the PSU in your build? Can you check and see what your BIOS version is at the time of writing? As for your platform, are the rams running on X.M.P or are the manually input in BIOS? As for your OS, did you recreate your bootable USB installer using Windows Media Creation Tools to rule out a corrupt installer? Storage drive that has the OS on it?

PSU is one and a half year old, bought new

My BIOS version if from 10/21/2021

Can you tell me how to check the RAM? I dont know the answer to your question

Yes, I did use Windows media creation tool, it reduced the frequency of blue screens

OS is installed in the SSD
