Question New PC just constantly crashing

Hi all

I've recently built a new PC and unfortunately run into some annoying issues

Here are the specifications:
- Intel Core i7-14700K
- Gigabyte Z790 AORUS ELITE AX
- Corsair Vengeance DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MHz CL36
- No GPU at the moment (waiting to buy it)

The only things that I have done are enable XMP, and install Windows 11. I also have downloaded all the drivers listed on Gigabyte's website for my motherboard. I have only been browsing and downloading software & games. After a random amount of time the PC decides to shut off/crash. I've seen it happen through a BSOD or crazy colourful strobe mosaics on the display - it really is random. I'm aware of the recent issues surrounding the 14th gen Intel processors, however I had updated my motherboard firmware before booting up the system once.

I did read around that this could be a memory issue, but reseating it leads to the same issues described

If anybody could push me in the right direction here as to what I should do, that would be greatly appreciated
