That's the problem, I've got no one or spares to use. Cpu tems were at 67 under stress test in passmark, several ran over and over again
Temps max once at 70.

Ram is currently being tested in memtest86, rebooted on flash drive to test.

How many sticks of RAM? Could you remove half and test, then replace with the other half and test?

Got new hardware
The 5800x, RTX 3080, Trident Z 8GBx2 3600Mhz and the Corsair h115i premium

Everything was fine, running normal for easy 2 weeks. Now randomly i get BSOD's, but not the same ones, "kernel, Pagefile, Memory dump" there's more. I've uninstalled windows 3 times now, even rolled back to version 1909 and still i'm getting this.

I've googled and tried several fixes and no success. I've turned off updates to check. I have nothing installed, except Brave browser, discord and battle.net at the moment.

Wife's pc is fine, work laptop is fine, colleagues pc is fine. All of them are on the latest windows update.

I just don't know where to test next, google has nothing left for me to try

Remove everything installed of late and see if you get some stability. Then reinstall one at a time.

Cant, like I mentioned above. I don't have spares.
I don't have built-in graphics so I can't remove the GPU for testing as well.

The only thing i can remove is one of the 2 sticks of ram and test.

No sorry, meant apps like the Brave browser. For hardware I would either look for updates, or downgrade the drivers on the GFX card.

Done.
Few times :) Testing Brave browser to see if any others were the issue. there's only CPUID HWmonitor on and Brave browser, Windows installed the basic gforce driver. That's it.

Here's some info for some who worry about the temps of the cpu

Just a mention

I've done one thing so far since last night. I've removed the spare SSD with all my installations on. ( Battlenet,steam and origin. ) Well the sata was disconnected.

So far no BSOD, but to early to tell, as this bugger is super random. Seem to be getting a lot of those, " Aw snap" messages on Brave and Chrome browser. Hmmm

Could well be storage since some of the errors seem to allude to a read error.

Absolutely nothing wrong with those temps.
What about storage? Any changes there?

So the two main components that stayed in place was the NVMe, Samsung 960 evo, Gigabyte X570 Auros Elite board. The nvme was wiped of course due to these errors.

But the samsung was my main drive for office and windows basically. The 500GB ssd was my installations like i've mentioned.

I brought the pc to work, to test and keep it running to see if a BSOD pops up.

If nothing pops up by end of today. Might be the ssd with all my large files, i'd probably have to take personal files off and deep format it :cautious:
