Here is some reports from who crashed:

Bug check description: This indicates that Microsoft Windows or a kernel-mode driver accessed paged memory at DISPATCH_LEVEL or above. This is a software bug.
This bug check belongs to the crash dump test that you have performed with WhoCrashed or other software. It means that a crash dump file was properly written out.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.

This might be a case of memory corruption. This may be because of a hardware issue such as faulty RAM, overheating (thermal issue) or because of a buggy driver.

I will try to remember what I have tried to fix it. It is kinda hard because of the many things I have tried.
I have tried:
reinstalling windows many times also from a USB.
Running the memory diagnostic tool and Memtest86 many times and for many many hours. All with no errors found.
I have tried Reinstalling my Drivers with DDU 5 times (or more) and it didn't help.
I have run all the disk check tools like chkdsk, sfc and etc. They said the fixed some corrupt files but I sill got crashing.
I have reset my bios and my GPU oc.
I have done a lot of small tweaks that supposedly fixed it for some users like disabling Fastboot or enabling/disabling write caching on the device on my HDDs and SSDs.
I have tried Tron script and changing my pagefile size.
I have tried DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command to fix corrupted files and found no issues.
I have bought new ram but it didn't fix it. I have tried a different PSU
I have surely tried more things but I can't really think of something else.
I have tried different wires for my PSU and i have tried turning it upside down so it doesn't inhale all the heat from my second GPU and instead, directly gets air from my case bottom filter.
Crash behavior:
The crashes have become much rarer after I have done all the steps above. It usually happens after a couple of hours. But a few weeks ago it happened after 5 minutes in-game. The crashes from the last three days make the computer freeze without any warning and then the computer reboots itself. I also have another problem that I kinda fixed. Whenever I unplug my headset my pc crashes after 10 to 15 minutes with a loud buzzing noise and then the pc reboots. Also when I unplug my Bluetooth my pc freezes and reboots after 10 minutes. I noticed this after my fourth reinstall of windows 10 via USB when pc weirdly crashed after 30 seconds. But then I plugged in my headset and baam it worked. I can now safely unplug my headset without it crashing as long as I don't start any games.
So that's it I think.
I have never used a forum before as I have always fixed my pc problems before this.
Please help me as I am starting to give up fixing this problem.
