Hello, a year ago I made a post for help on upgrading my system resulting with constant PC restarts/crashes during gaming. Now I've been suggested to make a new post with my errors I'm having for months after I bought new GPU for my system.

For any background info and my system specs and components you can read here:

In short:
I bought ROG Strix GeForce RTX™ 4070 Ti SUPER
PC started randomly crashing during gaming with the following error in event logs:
A fatal hardware error has occurred.

Reported by component: Processor Core
Error Source: Machine Check Exception
Error Type: Bus/Interconnect Error
Processor APIC ID: 0

The details view of this entry contains further information.

Stuff I've done:
-Clean format
-Windows 11 upgrade from 10
-BIOS update
-Updating drivers
-Reseating all cables and RAM
-Buying new PSU Cable (600W PCIe 5.0 12VHPWR)

None of this really helped me, never had any issues with my processor even tho the system log errors showing processor core is issue. None of my components are overheating either so I'm totally lost on what to do. Need advice on what else I could try to identify the problem before I'm forced to buy new CPU or PSU for further testing but then at that point I could just buy new PC altogether.


EXTRA INFO (if it helps)
Games I had crashes at:
Monster Hunter World (a lot)
ARK Survival Evolved (2-3 times)
The Last of Us (once)
Counter Strike 2 (once or twice)
Forza Horrizon 5 (2-3 times)
Age of Mythology Retold (once) - but i never played it again cause of it

Things done without crashes:
-I use blustacks a lot, that's a processor thing and I can make 6-8 sessions with high usage where pc starts lagging a little and I never had any issues.
-Daily desktop work no issues (even tho once pc restarted just when i logged in to it one morning that was odd)
-Games I dont remember having crashes on: (but some I played less than other)
Tekken 8, Cyberpunk 2077, Outward, Rocket League, Valheim, God of War Ragnarok, Back 4 Blood

There's days when I have no problems playing for hours then there's days when randomly I get 2-3 crashes per day.
Sometimes I just want to sit down and enjoy my evening and this random crashes just sucks all joy out of me... any help would be greatly appretiated.

~Best regards

Windows 11 upgrade from 10
If you upgraded to Windows 11 using the internal upgrade path off of Windows 10, you're advised to create a bootable USB installer for Windows 11, disconnect all drives apart from the one you wish to install the OS onto, then reinstall the OS in offline mode. Once you've installed the OS, manually install all relevant drivers with their latest versions in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator.

How old is the PSU in your build?

MB: (MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon)

BIOS update
For the sake of relevance, what BIOS version are you currently on and did you clear the CMOS after verifying that your BIOS was successfully flashed to the latest version?

You migrated to a ROG Strix GeForce RTX™ 4070 Ti SUPER from a RTX 2070 AORUS SUPER, did you use DDU to remove all GPU drivers(intel, AMD and Nvidia) in Safe Mode, then manually installing the latest GPU driver sourced from Nvidia's support site in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator?

-I think PSU just reached 5 years this december.
-BIOS version is beta one from 2023 I think, and yes I cleared CMOS after some other day I think, I forgot what method I used, I think screwdriver one, I remember BIOS settings reset so it worked.
-I never use DDU, whenever I change GPU's I just format whole PC and always deleting the partition on windows install so it's 100% clean.
-Also ye I upgraded from windows 10 to 11 using windows upgrade offer in updates, and I did it after a clean reinstall with new GPU and clean driver install before I launched the upgrade.
 
Can you run memory diagnostics and post the results?
The Windows Memory Diagnostic tested the computer's memory and detected no errors
