For stabilization or what reason?
To shyt scared to touch the bios. No bsod for the day
Did you update your networking drivers? LAN, WiFi?
I'd be interested to know if it was due to a driver as I posted about earlier.

I did update it, but i did as well before.

So far no critical issues have popped up. System has been running since this morning without a bsod.

Event viewer has less errors as well.

I've got someone on Tomshardware that will take the dumps to be read and report back to me exactly what driver it was

But i did notice 1 dump was nvidia driver.

Do you have restore points setup? If you don't enable it and create a restore point after each change you make and give it a descriptive name so you know everything that changed.

Did you remove 461.xx using DDU?

Yes

Did it again now and let windows install nvidia drivers, read that they probably more stable at this point

How does warranty status look on your system? Which components are still under warranty?

There's no way around it.
You've done the Windows route and it made no difference. Especially taking all your steps into account.

My suggestion would be to replace it one at a time. Starting at the motherboard, CPU and PSU.

You've ruled out RAM. I hope you have ruled out your storage devices.

Ram , old kit that never had any issues, gave the same issues.

Weird thing is, i stress tested my psu and cpu and gpu for a hour each, no issues! with OCCT

I'm going to disable boost on my cpu. Keep the base clock, read some guys are seeing a stable system after doing this.

What should my volts be set at when at 3.8ghz
