Hey everyone! I'm having some frustrating issues with my new computer, which I got on May 21. I've experienced a couple of blue screen errors while gaming, including MEMORY_MANAGEMENT and PFN_LIST_CORRUPT, and I've also had multiple driver crashes, particularly with my AMD graphics card. The crashes happen with different games and seem to happen randomly after I've been playing for a while—never right away. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the graphics driver, but while that stopped the weird buzzing from my graphics card, my PC still randomly restarts during gameplay. I even ran the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool, which reported some problems, but I'm not sure what to do next, especially since I don't know if the blue screens and driver crashes are related. Could anyone give me some pointers on what might be going wrong and how I can fix this? Thanks a lot! Here are my specs: ASUS TUF GAMING A620M-PLUS motherboard, RX 7600 GAMING OC 8G AMD Radeon GPU, AMD Ryzen 7 8700F CPU, 16GB DDR5 RAM, 650W PSU, and a 1TB SSD.

First off, we need to gather some dump files for a better analysis of those BSODs. If you can boot into Windows, check the C:WindowsMinidump folder for any crash logs. If you find any, zip them up and share them on a site like Mediafire or Catbox. Multiple dump files help a lot. If you don’t have any dump files, consider changing your dump settings to Small Memory Dump so you can start collecting them!
Also, you might want to check the Event Viewer for more info about the memory diagnostics—it could help pinpoint the issue. It sounds like you may have a RAM problem, so it's worth looking into. If the tool indicated hardware issues, it could be a good idea to contact the manufacturer for help, just to be safe.
Thanks for the advice! I’ll check the Event Viewer and see what I find. I really hope it's not the RAM since I just got this PC!
