What I've noticed is blue screens that when googled will always lead back to drivers, memory, or virus. I dont believe it's a virus since it started very shortly after the pc was built and I had antivirus pretty early on as well. I seem to be able to avoid it if I have a game running in the background and that seems to let me reliably do something else. I dont have any problems actually running anything or lag, stuff like that. Sometimes it's right when I close the game, or shortly after I close it and forgot that I need to have it in the background that i'll blue screen. It happens frequently when I walk away from my computer to do something in the other room and if I leave it on at night it will do it multiple times.
Ive been researching whenever I have time but recently Ive really taken a deep dive into it and I've seen maybe 10 or so different problems and solutions associated with the symptoms I notice. I'm not actually very knowledgeable when it comes to pc hardware or more of the deeper aspects of programs and drivers but I've tried making sure all the drivers are up to date and doing things such as sfc scan, chkdks scan, and some memory checks. A friend recommended that I "flash the bios" a while back so I've done that with seemingly no results as well. I have also reset my ram, and tested booting with each one individually (they both seem to work fine). I've tried cleaning out the inside of my pc while i was in messing with the ram, reset the graphics card, and replugged my ssd to make sure it was connected right. One of the forums I came across seemed to suggest a certain part I had wasn't working right after a windows update and suggested fresh installing windows to version 10 20H2 V2. Now I'm sitting with a fresh install and I'm still getting the same blue screen and dumps. I'm starting to get lost in all of the different things i've tried and checked and hope maybe someone might be able to guide me in the right direction. I'd be super grateful. Here's some specs if that helps and I have some spare thumb drives if I need to run a program through that or fresh install again or something like that.
processor: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor 3.60 GHz (One of the common parts i've seen people say is a problem while reading up on other peoples similar blue screens)
ram: 16.0 GB type(G Skill Intl hopefully this is the right info about it)
system type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
ssd: Samsung SSD 870 QVO 1T
graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Super
motherboard: ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING
psu: PowerSpec 550W model: PS 550BF
And I know often the dump files are shared but im unsure of how to format it, some people zip the file or use google drive so just let me know how you want me to share those.
Thanks for taking time to read
edit note: sorry I had to google how to find some of the specs, hopefully the update to them is what you needed
