I'm having serious issues with my HP Victus as it gets stuck in boot loops and shows various BSODs (Blue Screen of Death). I've tried almost everything like local resets, cloud resets, and even a fresh install of Windows from a USB drive. I've removed the SSD and replaced the RAM, but I'm still facing the same problem.
What's puzzling is that after toggling the Secure Boot option, my laptop now mostly leads me to the BitLocker recovery screen instead of starting up normally. I've encountered several blue screen errors including INTERRUPT_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED, HYPERVISOR_ERROR, and various kernel-related crashes. Other weird behaviors involve getting caught in startup repair loops and crashing even when booting from USB.
Given everything I've tried, do you think this issue points to the motherboard, RAM slot, a BIOS problem, or something else entirely? Is the BitLocker prompt after changing Secure Boot settings a normal reaction or a sign of another issue? Help would be greatly appreciated!

It sounds like you're in a tough spot! First off, have you had a chance to collect any dump files from the BSODs? These files are crucial for diagnosing what’s going wrong. If you can access Windows or Safe Mode, check the C:WindowsMinidump directory. If you find any dump files, zip them up and upload them using a file-sharing site like catbox.moe or mediafire. Having a look at those can provide insights into the crashes you're encountering.
Have you tried running memtest86 to check your RAM? Boot loops can often stem from issues with your SSD or operating system. Since you mentioned doing multiple Windows installs, it might be worth considering if there's a problem with your current SSD. If possible, testing with a different SSD could give you more information about whether it's the drive that's causing the trouble.
