Hey guys,
Issue my computer came up with mid-game was:
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000003b (0x00000000c0000005, 0xfffff8043f673e0b, 0xffffa1818c36e3b0, 0x0000000000000000).

Just installed 2 more sticks of RAM, from 2 to 4, with a different brand to what was already in there (existing was Corsair / CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 and new is Kingston / KHX3200C16D4/8GX) and it errored within about an hour of being in there.

I've read through the memory dump and some previous threads on here, but not really sure what to make of it.
Memdump: https://pastebin.com/SinGyjxD

Instead of removing the new sticks, I ran through an entire MemTest86 scan, which failed, and only passed 59% of the tests.
Memtest report: https://www.mediafire.com/file/7mkckym07k0yg1i/MemTest86-Report-20240919-165109.html/file

Just wanted a different eye to look at it and hopefully tell me some next steps.

This is your problem, don't mix and match ram kit, use one kit or source the exact same kit of ram. In your case, source the exact same kit of Corsair ram, all the way down to the PCB revision number or return the Kingston ram kit and source a higher capacity ram kit.
 
The 0x3B bugcheck is a common bugcheck but the 0xC0000005 exception code in argument 1 indicates an invalid memory reference. As pointed out above, mixing RAM models/types is a well-known cause of BSODs. RAM should ALWAYS be purchased as a kit of matched sticks.

BTW for the future,. if you're going to upload a minidump please upload the dump file not just the output of analyze -v. That is a tiny part of dump analysis. I don't need this dump uploaded I'm pretty convinced it's your mixed RAM at fault.
