Question Constant BSOD - Getting worse, considering buying a new SSD

I built my own pc last year in late october, early november, and about 2-3 months ago I started getting these blue screen errors either on startup or randomly while on my computer that would either give the stop code WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR or CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED. When it restarts it either goes immediately to BIOS or sometimes to the windows startup repair screen. At first I thought nothing of it, but after I started getting it more and more frequently I started trying to troubleshoot the situation, and nothing was working. Now after trying various things to no avail, I'm now at a point where it constantly crashes, and if I'm lucky after a few restarts I can actually get into my computer and get work done.

I have:
  • Done a fresh install of Windows
  • Tested each of my RAM sticks
  • Restored to an earlier point in the system
  • ran various malware, virus, and system scans

I'm probably forgetting some other things I've tried to fix my system, but all of these things haven't worked. I called a local pc repair company that gave me some suggestions, and after going through their list they concluded I should buy a new hard drive (I have a SSD, not a HDD, so I assume that would mean that). I found a forum page here concerning the same kind of problems I've been experiencing that provided some potential fixes, but I can't even get into my computer anymore to make/look at my dump files. I tried loading it up this morning about 5 times and each time it would freeze and BSOD on the startup screen.

I appreciate any help or advice to try to eliminate potential causes or to narrow the field of what may need to be fixed before I start burning holes in my wallet to try to fix it, because if I end up buying a new SSD that doesn't change anything, that'd be pretty annoying.

Just want to try to bump my thread, considering its been almost a week without any responses.

I'm planning to buy a new SSD this weekend unless I get any advice that tells me otherwise.
