Hi there,
I built my PC just this past Christmas and to be quite honest I've never had any troubles with it until just this past week. All of a sudden, I've been experiencing BSODs or hard locks where the screen freezes and I can't do anything, and I typically have to hold in the power button to shut the computer off. For the most part, it seems I'm able to use my computer for a couple hours, and most commonly (or exclusively, I'm not sure) crashes while gaming. The only exception is when I was in a BSOD loop a couple times when I got the initial crashes.
So far I've tried re-seating all the RAM (and testing individual sticks), re-seating the GPU, resetting the CMOS, and running Windows System File Checker. There was a period where I was additionally unable to boot my computer, but I was able to get past this by pushing the restart button on my PC case while it was running. As far as I know there's no issues with overheating as I have a well ventilated case and a hefty CPU cooler.
I should note it seems I was more or less able to use Safe Mode without any problems. Granted I only used it for a couple hours but it seemed pretty stable.
I've tried combing through the minidumps I pulled off my computer but I haven't been able to decipher anything useful from them other than that it's a hardware or driver issue most likely. It seems that hal.dll or ntoskrnl.exe are listed as the culprits for the dumps I've looked at, but it didn't really tell me much.
If anyone could possibly provide any insight or figure out more from the dumps than I can it would be greatly appreciated, I've been trying to fix this issue for about a week now and I'm not sure where to go from here.
Here's a Google Drive link to a zip of all the minidumps I have: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KsCmG2o9BVu2KBBYZTP6k5gNkiVO5jB_/view?usp=sharing
(One of the dumps is unfortunately 0 KB. I also have a nearly 2GB MEMORY.DMP I can provide if it's any more helpful.)
Here's my computer specs:
