I've been using my system with an MSI B650 Gaming Plus WIFI motherboard and Patriot Viper Venom 32 GB DDR5 RAM at 6000 MHz since October, and it was running smoothly until recently. Out of nowhere, I've started getting random BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) errors about once a week. I noticed my boot times were taking around 4-5 minutes, so I enabled features like Memory Context Restore and Power Down Enable to help with that. However, after the BSODs began, I disabled those options, thinking it would solve the issue, but I still encountered a BSOD today. Oddly enough, I also experienced a boot failure that required me to turn the computer off and back on after it wouldn't start for over 15 minutes. I'm unsure of what to do next. Should I try adjusting my RAM timings based on what I've read, and is it possible that my previous settings corrupted my OS? Do I need to format my PC to resolve this?

First thing I recommend is to clear the CMOS to reset your BIOS settings to default. Just make sure to disable Memory Context Restore afterward, as it can cause issues like the ones you're facing.
Have you checked if your BIOS is updated to the latest version? Sometimes, stability issues can arise from outdated BIOS versions.
