Hey everyone! I've had my new PC for about two months, and I'm experiencing some annoying Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) issues—around five crashes so far, which is a lot more than I had in eight years with my last machine. I suspect it could be a memory issue, but I'm not entirely sure. I've uploaded my minidumps for anyone willing to take a look and provide some insights. Here's the link: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/5s7ujuf1ymse0/minidump. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

First off, you'll want to gather those dump files for a proper analysis. If you can get into Windows or even Safe Mode, check the C:WindowsMinidump directory for your dump files. It’s best to zip them up and upload them to a reliable file sharing site. Just a heads up—you may have to tweak your settings to ensure all memory dumps are being recorded correctly. Check out the guide I linked for more info!
You should definitely run a memory test using Memtest86 or a similar tool to check your RAM. It’s also a good idea to monitor your system temperatures with HWInfo. Overheating can sometimes lead to BSODs, especially during intensive tasks!
I'll test the memory tomorrow while I'm at work. My temperatures typically seem fine, but I did have a BSOD when waking the PC from idle, which makes me concerned about the memory.
