[SOLVED] Various BSOD everyday

Hey folks, haven't been back for quite a long time.
Ryzen 1600, MSI B350m gaming pro, 2X8GB jipsaw, RX580, M12ii-520 psu, system drive samsung evo850, other drives toshiba/seagate HDD and MX500 SSD.
I am seeing rotating BSOD everyday, did clean reinstall of win 10, DDU gpu driver, memtest 86 rams, crystaldisk checked, samsung magic tool checked, malwarebyte checked, all green, chipset and other drivers updated, windows update up-to-date.
One thing I can see is two monitors flicker black for several seconds, when it comes back the game will lag severely. Temp all seem OK. I am out of options, thinking if it is time to replace the MB.
BSOD ranges from critical_process_died, kmode_exception_not_handled, system_service_exception, page_fault_in_nonpaged_area, kernel security check failure. There are a bunch more but got cleaned up by windows I guess. Will update if I see more.
Any thoughts? Thanks.

B350 motherboards were definitely a rush job but their problems were mostly with memory interconnect and CPU VRM robustness. As with most all motherboards, the rest of it is either the chipset or otherwise really very simple and it either works or it doesn't and it would have not worked from day one. Oh yeah, and early BIOS/AGESA's, where they really get their bad rap.

But it sounds like you're past the bad BIOS/AGESA stage with updates, but are you trying to overclock? If so, stop that and go full stock if you haven't. Frankly, what you describe is typical of a degraded CPU so if you HAD been overclocking and have stopped...what CPU clocks and voltages? What were you doing for memory? You might have to run with higher than normal/stock voltage (add just enough voltage using offset adjustments) even at stock frequencies to be stable if you'd been running heavily overclocked for a long time.

And what about overclocking the GPU. You're describing obvious problems with display so that's got to be suspect. Do you have another GPU you can put in system and run a while doing the same things that cause problems?

And one thing that you might do "just because" if for no other reason and you may never have done it before: do a CMOS reset. You should be able to save a settings profile, then do the CMOS reset and run it a while with fully default settings. It can't hurt and it's easy to reload saved profile after. Do it with battery pull...turn off, disconnect line power, pull the coin cell battery and short the pins for at least 30 sec's. then reassemble.

stopped OCing quite a while ago. No GPU OC either. cmos doesn't help.
