Desktop won't work for some inconceivable reason

I built my own desktop: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6XpH3b months ago and since then I've been trying to get it to work properly with no result. Initially, it had ethernet issues which turned out to be a grounding issue. Before I found that out I tried getting PCIe lan cards, updating drivers via USB, and installing windows multiple times. After that was fixed I got the problem of my computer randomly crashing. Though the bluescreen errors never say it (they give a different error almost every time) NTOSKRNL is responsible for the crashes. I took it to some computer specialists who tried reinstalling windows and tried all the parts in different computers. The only one that came up with a problem was the motherboard which I promptly replaced (took forever for MSI to RMA it). So here we are now, a new motherboard, another fresh install of windows, and a BIOS update later. Everything had been working fine for several days save one instance of the ethernet port not picking up the cord. But as of yesterday with no prompt NTOSKRNL starts crashing it again with different errors every time. NTOSKRNL is responsible for boot up so why it would start crashing things hours into being on also makes no sense to me but eventually I got it to boot again after the automatic repair tool said it couldn't boot. It works fine for a little while again then keeps crashing to the point now when I turn the computer on I can hear it turn on and my headset lights up but my monitors don't register input and my mouse/keyboard aren't lighting up.

ADDITIONALLY: The most recent crashes started while I was streaming Rainbow 6: Siege. I can provide a decent list of programs running at the time of initial crash.

I see no mention of BIOS updates?

Typical troubleshooting is minimalist. Remove all extraneous devices, so take out the GPU, Secondary hard drive, half the memory (try both, one a time) Etc. And see if the system is stable through Intel Burn Test and/or Memtest x86 or perhaps AIDA64. (You want something that stresses CPU and memory)

Slowly add back in each piece of hardware until it fails.

Try swapping out your drive connections, both power and data as well. I once spent an hour troubleshooting a computer. Single shorted SATA peripheral cable.

I'll have this done hopefully by end of tomorrow. Also I did update the BIOS and I've had this done before (it's what prompted me to replace my motherboard)
