Hello everyone
Posting here because I have been facing an issue with my newly built system. The games crash including Elden Ring , Ori and the Will of the Wisps , Darksiders Genesis and Dota. It only stays stable during playing SC Remastered (Probably due to the extremely low loads on the GPU). The PC Stays completely stable during all tests including Unigine Superposition , Furmark , Heaven. There is no error messages , artifacts or temperature spikes on the GPU before the crashes. Monitoring using MSI Afterburner and HWinfo64. GPU Temperatures never go above 70 Degrees, although as I type this my GPU idle is sitting at 36.5 Degrees and 50 Degrees for the GPU Hotspot. The BSODs with Memory Management Error have happened 3 times , once during Stray , Dota and Darksiders Genesis.
The PC never restarts or crashes beyond the times it was under load.
One key issue I think might be causing it is the fact that the GPU has had the same thermal paste for the past 8 years or so , but i was strongly advised against changing it as the the reassembly process might cause issues due to improper weight distribution on the GPU. Not sure why I took this advice as it didn't make sense.
I have tried the following:
Things i have not tried:
System Specs are as follows:
I5-12400 using the Stock Intel Cooler.
Gigabyte B660M DS3H AX Rev 1.2
32 GB Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro (2x16GB)
GTX 970 Gigabyte Windforce. (Pulled it from my previous PC so its been seeing action since December 2014.
1x Samsung 970 EVO Plus boot drive , 1xKingston 240 GB SATA Drive , 1x WD Green 1 TB HDD.
XPG Core Reactor 650 Watts.
Lian Li Lancool 205 Mesh (Stock Fans) 2 Intake and 1 Exhaust in the Back.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and apologies for posting a similar topic but the other topics had full blown pc crashes , restarts , artifacting or other issues.

I have tried the following:
- Changing Windows from Windows 11 to Windows 10.
- Updating all drivers, BIOS and Firmware including DDU for fresh install of the GPU Drivers.
- Running Memory Diagnostic Tool , Memtest86 and all.
- Running Furmark and Heaven etc for extended periods of time to check for stability.
- Monitoring all temps of the components.
Things i have not tried:
- Using an older version of the GPU Driver or updating the firmware of the GPU.
- Running all my games off the iGPU to check if the crashes happen using it too which might point to it being the issue with another component.
- Changing slots of my RAM sticks , reseating CPU/GPU.
- Monitoring power draws of the components.
