Question Constant BSOD in desperate need of absolutely any help

I have posted about this issue previously, there may be more info on the issue in that thread but for a recap;

I have been having consistent WHEA Uncorrectable Error BSOD, which today has changed to CRITICAL PROCESS DIED BSOD. Today I replaced my old motherboard, cpu and ram to AM5 and DDR5, I also replaced my old power supply. I did the windows reset option to delete all files and fresh install windows, I installed chip set drivers and all the necessary drivers for the new motherboard, I installed the most up to date graphics card drivers as well as hours of trouble shooting any other possible errors. A week ago I brought my computer to a repair guy in town, explaining the issue, where he installed a fresh bios on my now old mobo, configured the BIOS to install windows, as well as updating drivers and replacing some power connections to my GPU, none of which fixed my issue.

Over the period of the last year or so, I have replaced every single component in my PC, besides my RTX 4070 that I got for Christmas 2 years ago. The blue screen errors begun a few months after that upgrade, being very sporadic, sometimes happening multiple times a day, at other times happening once a week or not at all for long periods of time. Over the last month, the errors have gotten progressively worse, at the current moment, happening back to back within minutes, some times being stable for around 10 minutes, where it will then blue screen again when I attempt to open any application besides my browser.

Because I have literally replaced every single component besides my GPU in my computer at this point, spent countless hours on reddit and microsoft threads attempting absolutely every single fix I can find, I have become unbelievably desperate for any help I can get.

I will be happy to provide any information that I can with my PC in it's current state. Because I am a broke college student, I am begging to find any verification to prove I won't have to replace my GPU as it was unbelievably expensive and is only currently 2 years old.

Absolutely any and all help would be appreciated, let god be by my side.
 
Update: Removed the GPU to check if the error still happened and it did. Because I have LITERALLY replaced every single other component in the system, it has to be something to do with my windows or corrupted files on the computer. If anyone has advice for a full memory wipe, and clean reset on all the data on my drives as well as a fresh Windows install, I would be happy to try it.
 
What version of Windows are you running, e.g. Windows 10 Home, Windows 11 Professional, etc.

Did you download a Windows ISO direct from the Microsoft web site, or from some other more dubious source?

Do you have a proper License bought from the likes of Amazon, or a dodgy $12 so-called "genuine" Activation Key, split from a 1,000 user Volume License or an Educational License pack, thereby breaching Microsoft's Ts and Cs.

Did you use Rufus (my preferred option) to create a bootable USB memory stick from the Windows ISO or Microsoft's utility?

The fact you've changed mobo, CPU, RAM, PSU, boot drive and presumably tried the iGPU in your new AM5 CPU implies it's something to do with the OS.

For a start, I suggest switching off XMP memory overclocking when installing any OS. You should aim fro stability at firts, not speed. With DDR4, stick at 2133 or 2400MT/s. With DDR5 stick at 4800MT/s. Instability due to overclocked RAM is the last thing you need when troubleshooting.

I'm still running Windows 10 Professional on most of my systems until October 2025, with Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 disabled on systems with these options. I install Windows using a Local Account, not my Microsoft Account.

It might be an idea to switch off Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 in the BIOS and try a fresh install of Windows 10 on a spare (blank) SSD if you've been using Windows 11.

Alternatively, you can install Windows 11 again, but this time with Secure Boot and TPM disabled, by using Rufus to tweak the ISO file. You might end up with a stable (but less secure) system.

The idea is to make a number of changes, not continue down the same path and getting nowhere.

I did the windows reset option to delete all files and fresh install windows,
When I'm re-installing Windows on a disk which has already been used as a boot drive, as soon as I've booted from the Rufus USB flash drive, I dive into the menu that allows me to wipe each and every one of the partitions on the SSD, including all the hidden partitions.

If you check your current boot drive in Windows Disk Management, you may find a 16MB partition (created for GPT disks), plus a nominal 100MB hidden Boot partition, plus a nominal 500MB hidden Recovery partition, plus a visible C: drive partition containing Windows and your programs. You may find several more partitions. They all need to go on a fresh install.

I wipe all traces of these partitions both hidden and visible, leaving a completely blank disk, before allowing Windows to re-install.

There's a vague chance the Windows "Reset" option is keeping some information on the drive and corrupting each new install. I've never used this option, so I'm not entirely clear what it keeps and what it discards.

Have you at any time run Memtest86 on the RAM in either system? A full test takes several hours, so you need a reasonably stable system to use this check. If your RAM is bad or overclocked too fast, it could be the culprit.

Please can you list all the components used in your old and new setups.

Do you have your DIMMs fitted in the recommended sockets (usually A2, B2 on a mobo with four RAM slots)?
