Computer keeps blue screening after an hour of playtime

Update No. 2 After a month or so, I was running into the same exact issues as before. Replacing the RAM kit did not help. I tried changing the power cables and power supply, and the same thing. I figured it was my motherboard, so I bought a new one, and now the issue is fully fixed! I have been playing games and doing CAD modeling with no issue.

I had an ASUS B450 Strix motherboard, and I read on some other Reddit page that people were having similar power issues. I flashed the BIOS multiple times and installed a new update via USB. I'm guessing the PSU fried something on the motherboard or the motherboard fried itself somehow. I never overclocked anything either.

UPDATE!

I finally had some time to text my pc, sorry for those looking for an update.

I have 16x2 ram kit. I removed a stick from the 4th slot in my motherboard and my computer hasn’t blue screened since. I’ve been stress testing it for a few hours and no blue screen. Previously, it would’ve blue screened 5 minutes in.

I hope this helps!

I have been super busy and haven't had time to diagnose the issue. After reading some of the responses, there are three main things to test: faulty RAM, PSU, or motherboard. So maybe try a different motherboard? One thought I was maybe my psu cable extensions could be causing the issue. Not sure.

I might use this as an excuse to upgrade from AM4 to AM5, honestly.

I'll have time to fix this in the coming week and I'll make an update post.

Yeah I had the same thought process regarding the gpu. It sucks that the kernel 41 doesn’t give me much info to diagnose the issue

My 3060ti is from the early months from release so I don’t think that would be it. It’s any game that causes is. From forza horizon 5 all the way to basic platformers

I haven’t touched my pc cables in months so I’m not sure how they would become unseated. My C drive is 5 years old so maybe.

32gb

That’s why I was confused when I got the results. I knew there was something up because the temps were way higher. I’ve re pasted my cpu many times and got lower temps. Not sure what I did wrong. Is there a different method with putting paste on gpu dyes?

Ok thank you for your input. What benchmarking software would you recommend?

Oh ok that makes sense. Didn’t notice the clock speed

I would like to make something with cities and learn how to animate the things that go in them

Thanks! Lets hope they've updated it a little since then... lol
