BSODs and game crashes with new built PC, really bad.

Ok, so earlier in the Summer I was using a decently old laptop for my games, and the hard drive just died. I decided to take a step and just go for a new PC, and build one from components for cheaper. Ever since like the second day, I've been having issues with BSODs from MEMORY_MANAGEMENT, BAD_POOL_HEADER, KERNAL_LIVE_SECURITY_FAILURE, PFN_LIST_CORRUPT, and I think a few others, most of which only occuring once before I get a different BSOD. It only has really occured when playing 3 games, Rainbow Six Siege, Batman: Arkham Knight, and, as I just found out last night, For Honor. It doesn't happen to RSS anymore, but especially For Honor, which I got last night on Steam, is causing some really frustrating crashes (both for the game as well as the hardware) like the new MEMORY_MANAGEMENT which I've never seen as well as KERNAL_LIVE_SECURITY_FAILURE, which I have. I am at wit's end about what to do. I've done a clean GPU driver reinstall, I've done memory checks, Windows diagnostics, chkdsk, Hard Drive health trackers, GPU and CPU stress tests, checked drivers 100 times, used WhoCrashed, everything short of doing a fresh Windows install, which I am considering. Like I said, I've checked every piece of hardware with everything I can, with no success whatsoever.

Specs (I believe this is what you need, I'm not PC savvy) are
GPU - Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 Ti
MoBo - AMD Ryzen B350
Processor - AMD Ryzen 5 1600
RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB and Ballistix Sport LT 8GB Single
OS - Windows 10

Please help... I don't know what to do anymore. Thanks!

what memory checks? Did you run memtest86 on your ram sticks? one stick at a time, up to 8 passes. Only error count you want is 0, anything higher means ram is likely cause of bsod, replace ram if it has errors.

Is ram on motherboard ram lists?
Is ram running at its default speed?
Do you have latest BIOS on motherboard?

Are both ram sticks in same channel on motherboard? Having 2 sticks of ram made by different producers in same channels may be causing the errors

Can you follow option one on the following link - here
and then do this step below: Small memory dumps - Have Windows Create a Small Memory Dump (Minidump) on BSOD

that creates a file in c windows/minidump after the next BSOD
copy that file to documents
upload...

upload the copy from documents to a cloud server and share the link here and someone with right software to read them will help you fix it :)

KERNEL_LIVE_SECURITY_FAILURE? Sure its not Kernel Security Check Failure as I can't find that error otherwise. Its always possible its a new error but Google finds no results for it, which is unusual.
Memory management isn't new, you just been lucky and not seen it.

I feel... stupid. I ran the Windows Memory Diagnostic, thinking that would be ample for checking my ram. I've seen memtest before, but was too lazy to load it onto my usb (along with not wanting to reformat and lose space, etc). Well, 3 and a half hours later, my Ballistix came back at a solid 509 errors. Thanks so much! Though I have no warranty, I am lucky enough to still be within the 30 day Amazon return policy, so I should be able to RMA it. Thanks so much for the quick response. I got to play For Honor for several hours, no crashing, despite it being a every 10 minutes deal before the fix. You're a lifesaver.
