I recently updated windows and lots of weird thing happened since.
Pc reboots on its own, BSODs...
The weirdest thing is that it happened into my Ubuntu USB too (it does not happen into my Debian boot drive I stripped from another PC I have so I guess it is not hardware related).

Here's my config:
Ryzen 5 2600
Gtx 1650 SUPER
Asrock B450 Steel Legend (if it's broken I'd be happy to ask for a refund because I hate the BIOS)
2x 8GB G Skill Ripjaw V
2x8GB G Skill Trident Z RGB
Adata XPG SX8100 512GB SSD
A random cheap 120GB SSD that turned out to be 480GB LOL
Seagate Barracuda 2TB
Thermaltake Smart 500W PSU
I also have this WIFI card

I got a log from it called MEMORY.DMP...
https://1drv.ms/u/s!Akj_27Nf_ucmjwpZcx7sNIpTj9LV?e=CYQNak

It all started by a couple networking bugs, a Windows update then showed up (maybe the files got corrupted in the download?).
My PC was rebooting all the time and BSODs were happening even before I saw the log in screen.
I uninstalled the update, which helped a bit. I was able to log in but BSODs were still frequent (no more than 1min before it showed up).
I then tried to go into safe mode to uninstall drivers, because all those BSODs had potential drivers issues into their causes...
Safe mode was great, but I was not able to access the internet (of course I forgot to go into safe mode with networking).
What really bugged me was into safe mode with networking... IT WAS CRASHING TOO.

I thought maybe it was network drivers screwing up my PC?
Went into safe mode, uninstalled all of them, went back into safe mode with networking, had enough time to reinstall my ethernet drivers, and it crashed.

I tried reseating my RAM sticks, tried every single one of my four sticks into every memory channel...
I tried reseating my GPU, tried using another GPU (my old trusty Gt 740), tried DDU the graphics drivers...
I even tried to put my SSD into my mom's pc, but I'm getting the BAD SYSTEM CONFIG INFO BSOD.

Nothing seems to work.

Any help would be very appreciated.
If you need any more information let me know (yes I did chkdsk lots of times).
I'm sure you can understand I'll avoid going into safe mode just to backup everything and do a clean Windows install (not because I can't but its very long and I dont want to redownload all games I have on my NVMe).
Sorry for my English (I live in Quebec).

Thank you.

My BIOS version is P3. 20 I think...

Asrock's website sys it not recommended for Pinnacle Ridge CPUs but it came preinstalled and I did not want to update just for the sake of downgrading it...
It was also stable since May so I don't think it may be the issue...

I also forgot to say I am running everything at STOCK SPEEDS for now and without XMP.
 
Are you sure? The 3.20 BIOS version says

"*ASRock do NOT recommend updating this BIOS if Pinnacle, Raven or Summit Ridge CPU is being used on your system"

You have a Ryzen 2600 Pinnacle CPU. The issues you're having could be because you're using a BIOS version that should not be installed with a Ryzen 2600 and that Windows Update didn't like that.

Version 2.63 and 2.63B are the last version you can use with your CPU.

It was running stable for a couple months and I did not wanted to update it.

Should I do it?
