I'm having ongoing Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) issues whenever I use two sticks of RAM. I'm really stuck and could use some advice. I've rolled back my chipset drivers, tried various sets of RAM, run memtest86, updated my BIOS, and used sfc scannow, but nothing seems to work. I'm starting to think this might be a hardware issue, possibly with either my CPU or motherboard. Here are my specs:
- Ryzen 7800x3D
- Gigabyte AORUS Elite AX B650
- GSkill Trident Neo
I'm getting really frustrated, so I'm hoping there's something I'm missing before I consider replacing all my parts or tossing my PC out the window!

It sounds like you're in a tough spot! First off, make sure to collect those mini dump files from C:WindowsMinidump. They can really help diagnose the BSODs. If you're able to access Windows, zip those files and upload them to a file sharing site like Mediafire or Catbox.moe. This could give us more to work with when figuring out what's going wrong.
Looks like you're running an outdated BIOS version (FB3). It’s worth updating to the latest version (FB4) as it includes improvements related to memory compatibility and some optimizations for your Ryzen CPU. Check for the latest chipset drivers too - an update to version 7.01.08.129 or later might boost your gaming performance as well.
I checked and that's indeed the latest version available. I'll try updating it and see if that helps!
