computer worked fine for 12 months since building

sudden pc resets with random BSOD errors, when not using screen sometimes goes black wireless mouse and keyboard no longer connect need to manually reset pc

Since reinstalling windows then trying two different sets of different RAM
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL ntoskrnl.exe
SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED ntoskrnl.exe
UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP ntoskrnl.exe
APC_INDEX_MISMATCH ntoskrnl.exe

three of the above dmp files in OneDrive download share link

Before or during reinstalling windows
KERNEL SECURITY CHECK FAILURE
DPC WATCHDOG VIOLATION
HYPERVISOR ERROR
CRITICAL PROCESS DIED
PAGE FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA Ntfs.sys
SYSTEM SERVICE EXCEPTION

reinstalling windows on a new SSD was nightmare, kept getting BSOD around the configuration section of windows installer, other times errored out with OOBEKEYBOARD

managed to reinstall windows, system last a little longer but still BSOD

installed new dual channel ram kit last a little longer again, installed another dual channel ram kit with no change, installed a different brand dual channel ram kit, both with same outcomes

with both new rams (different brands both running in dual channel) MemTest86 shows errors in tests 11 & 12 Random number sequence, 64-bit & 128-bit (usually more errors in 128-bit test)


MOTHERBOARD: X570 AORUS PRO WIFI
upgraded BIOS multiple times over past 6 months with no change in behavior

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core

RAM: Skill Intl / F4-3600C16-16GTZNC ||| 16-19-19-39 / 3602 MHz / 1.350V
tried XMP on and off (was using Corsair Bengeance then tried two different kits off Patriot ram)

unsure where fault lies, could it be a fault of my CPU?
 
Solution
if it fails memtest, and you not sure if its CPU instead, try running Prime 95 as it tests both ram and CPU

no point looking at dumps if you get errors in memtest

if you tried 4 different sets in the PC, it would seem problem is either CPU or motherboard or PSU. You probably need to get PC looked at by someone who has known working gear that they can test your stuff with. Swap CPU into different MB, see if it works etc.
