I'm having a frustrating issue where my computer keeps restarting on its own or showing blue screens, but it's strange because this only happens when I'm not playing online games. When I'm just using it for regular tasks or playing offline, everything seems fine. I've already tried updating all my drivers and tested the RAM using Windows diagnostics and memtest86, which didn't show any issues. I've got some dump files I can share for further analysis.

Your crashes could be due to a hardware issue, especially since your RAM is slightly overclocked to 2800 MT/s. Overclocking can definitely lead to stability problems. Also, make sure your BIOS is up to date, as running an outdated version could cause issues too. It might be a long shot, but I've seen issues like this stem from faulty hardware, like a bad CPU or RAM. If you've already downgraded your RAM frequency to 2666, that's a step in the right direction, but keep an eye on the motherboard drivers and specs as well—they can be tricky to navigate sometimes.
It sounds like you've got some serious BSOD issues there. If you can get Windows to boot normally or in Safe Mode, check the C:WindowsMinidump folder for any crash logs. Those dump files are super helpful for troubleshooting. Make sure to upload them to a file-sharing site that works, like Mediafire. Having multiple dump files is better for diagnosing the problem too! You might also want to look into changing your system settings to capture more comprehensive dump files if you haven’t yet. Check out some guides online to help with that.
