My personal route would be back everything up and reinstall from scratch.
Could be a Windows update apparently (reading online)

Would this cause issues.

Drive A : Samsung 960 evo 250gb, main drive for windows and small applications
Drive B : Hikvision 512GB as my secondary drive for game platforms and the games ofcourse

When installing, lets say Battle.net, I don't install it under Drive A, but on drive B and then download the game in drive B as well.

But going in uninstall programs i can see battle.net is there to uninstall, but it's not under drive A's program files.

Done it for quite some time like this, but this is the first time i've formatted drive A, not sure if this is causing some BSOD's

I've done that 3 times, 3rd time was a old .iso of 1909 i had on a stick and installed.

I'm thinking of backing up what i need on drive B and formating it as well with drive A.

Resetting everything, all drives now.

First, i saw there's a new bios update on Gigabytes website, F32, stability improvements etc etc. Quickly updated this before the big reset

Hmm... OK.
Did you try installing manufacturer drivers rather than let Windows do them? Apologies if I missed that!

Yes, that was on the 1st format.

The reset i'm doing now has been running over an hour for both drives.

I've got a spare 250gb at home. If this happens again, I'll install that as my drive A and see what happens.

Here's my biggest headache, when i go into a game, i can game for hours without it bsod. Once i start working in a browser or just anything application-based or home screen, it bsod's

I've tested this.

Even in a game's loading screen, i'd have no issues. Once i alt-tab to the second screen that has youtube running or whatever on the other screen and work on it, bsod randomly pops in.

But how though, in game the temps rise
In desktop view they come down?

Maybe the cooler isn't properly seated?

Read on tomshardware, a guy had similar issues. Eventually the cooler wasn't properly seated. Even though his temps were not bad or never over 70..

The cooler i have has these two points they pull down onto the am4 black plastic brackets.

Oky, no bsod so far.
Firefox installed instead of the chromiums

CPUID Hwmonitor to check temps

Been running a youtube vid for a few hours and no weird ,"Aw snap" errors, but i think those are more chrome issues.

Netflix running as well.
