Hey all,

I recently (around December-ish) upgraded to a 13900k and DDR5 system. Before, my PC/games used to crash every so often but was overall stable. Since upgrading, I find that the crashes have increased significantly, especially playing higher demanding titles (Escape From Tarkov) and some less demanding (PUBG, R6 Siege). I know that the 13900k has stability issues, but was wondering if anyone had a quick fix? I think my next step is to try an RMA, but I'm trying to avoid that if I can. Most of the BSODs/crashes come with a KERNEL MODE HEAP message, which is where I got the idea that it might be the RAM. I got whocrashed and it also tells me the same thing if it doesnt BSOD.

Steps I've already taken:
1) Tried taking out one of my RAM sticks to see if it was a RAM issue
2) Updated BIOS
3) Undervolted GPU
4) Updated GPU Drivers
5) Uninstalled Realtek audio drivers (I saw somewhere that this might be causing it)

I have a DMP file, but I don't know how to upload it. I have it uploaded to a google drive, can I just upload that? Do you guys need any more information to help me diagnose this issue?

TIA!!!
