Hello, around half a year ago I upgraded my CPU from a Ryzen 5 1600 to a Ryzen 5 3600X, changed RAM from a 2666MHz 4x4GB kit to a 3200MHz 2x8GB kit of G.Skill Ripjaws V and changed graphics card from a GTX 1070 to a RX 6700 XT, all within around a week of each other. All bought second hand. After getting the new parts I started getting random BSOD crashes, using BluescreenView to look at dumps they always pointed at ntoskrnl.exe. I didn't bother to start looking into it more until around a month or so ago.
I ran memtest86 on both RAM sticks seperately, and one of them gave an error (Test 9 [Modulo 20, ones & zeros]) USED PC WITH THE SINGLE "GOOD" STICK FOR ABOUT A WEEK WAITING FOR NEW KIT TO ARRIVE BUT STILL GOT BSODS which kind of leads me to believe that the problem isn't with RAM. Got the brand new identical kit, problem still persisted. Reinstalled Windows 10 21H2. No use. Bought a brand new motherboard (Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro), problem still persists. After Windows reinstall I noticed the crash code is always the same (ntoskrnl.exe+3f72e0) where as before it was ntoskrnl.exe followed by different codes. Crashes happen regardless of what the PC is doing, gaming, idling, watching YouTube.
Tried to update BIOS to the newest version (F62d) which seems to have been pulled from the motherboads support page, it is now showing F61 as the newest.
Tried disabling fast boot from Windows power settings and BIOS.
Tried disabling XMP.
Tried installing chipset drivers via download from AMD website as opposed to motherboard manufacturers.
Graphics card drivers (version 21.10.2) were installed after clean Windows install with no internet connection.
Currently testing disabling Global C-state control via BIOS as I read that had helped someone.
PC Specs in their entirety:
GPU: AMD RX 6700 XT
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X
RAM: 2x8GB G.Skill Ripjaws V 3200MHz (F4-3200C16D-16GVKB) (On the supported memory list for the motherboard)
Motherboard: Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro
PSU: Corsair TX550M
Storage: Windows installed on a 120GB Drevo X1 SSD
1x 1TB WD Blue Sata SSD
1x 500GB M.2 Crucial MX500
1x 1TB Seagate HDD
Connecting to the internet via USB tethering if that matters.
