EDIT (17/10/23): I think this issue may be becoming semi-reproducable. After playing a game for a bit, the crash usually happens within 10-20 minutes of closing it. Could it be temperature related? Would that explain the inconsistency of time/crash code?
EDIT (19/10/23): I have now reinstalled Windows and ran Memtest on both sticks (at the same time) with 0 errors. I will carry out individual tests when I have time.
Man.. where do I start?
The first crash I suppose? Quick google of the code, generic bad driver advice. Right, so.. drivers. So I had a look. NVidia GPu drivers up to date, windows up to date, checked iCUE and updated all the firmware and hardware on there. Still crashing. During games, during firefox usage, it often crashes on the sign-in page before even signing in if I leave it for a while!
I have poured through loads of minidumps with 0 prior knowledge but i've learned a lot about what sort of things to look for, however I am yet to see any similarities between the dump files. ntkrnlmp.exe is a frequent visitor in my minidumps. No idea what it is or what it means.
I should note, that I have a custum built PC, and it definitely isn't my first. I was careful with the installation and have treated the PC well since. It is a small form mini ITX PC, so its pretty damn small and compact, and I've noticed the idle temperatures are creeping up over the months. I'm wondering if this could be a factor. Perhaps it just needs a thorough clean (which it's had already before, again, carefully.)
Many other unresolved cases of this type have pointed towards faulty RAM, or maybe the PSU, and I am yet to test that. I have also so far NOT completed a full windows install and reset, though I am tempted to completely blitz and sterilize the PC as much as possible and reinstall, maybe even to Windows 11 if that would help.
I'd like to upload the 5 most recent minidumps but im not sure how on here, unless I just use a third-party and add a link to this.

I do have more specific information but thats mostly from the content of the dumps, so I will let you make your own conclusions so not to bias your responses, feel free to ask any questions after! If anyone could provide their help and expertise it would mean a lot, I really am at the end of my knowledge and capabilities with this one.
Specs:
CM NR200P case
i5-13600k (Kraken X53 240mm cooler)
ASRock Intel Z690M-ITX/ax mini-ITX
Corsair SF750 PSU
MSI RTX 3080
2 x 16GB Corsair Vengeance RS RGB 3200 RAM
1x Samsung 980 1Tb PCIe Gen3 M.2 SSD (Windows on C partition, games on rest of it).
2x SanDisk SSD PLUS 1Tb
1x SanDisk Ultra ii 500Gb
Many thanks.
