I just bought a new PC, and I'm experiencing some frustrating crashes with Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors. Specifically, I keep getting a 'SEC_KERNEL_CHECK_FAILURE' and an 'IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL' error. The computer can stay on for a while but eventually crashes, sometimes even right after I boot it up. I've included a link to my mini dump files for reference. Here are my specs: I have an AMD Ryzen 7 7700 processor running at 3.80 GHz with 16 GB of RAM. It's a 64-bit operating system running on an x64-based processor.

I noticed your RAM is set to 6000 MT/s, but your Ryzen 7 7700 only supports a maximum of DDR5-5200. That overclock might be causing instability. Try resetting your RAM settings to their defaults and see if that stabilizes your system. Sometimes those high speeds can create unexpected crashes!
It sounds like you're dealing with some serious BSOD issues. First off, make sure you grab those dump files since they’re crucial for diagnosing the problem. If you can boot into Windows or even Safe Mode, check the C:WindowsMinidump directory for any crash logs. Zip them up and upload them to a file-sharing site that’s working right now, like catbox.moe. Also, if you're only seeing one dump file, consider changing your settings to create Small Memory Dumps to get more info on future crashes.
Thanks, I’ll give that a shot! I struggle to make sense of those specs sometimes, lol.
