I recently built a new PC about three weeks ago with these specs: RTX 5050 8 GB Palit, Ryzen 5 5500, 16 GB DDR4 1x16 Flashnote 2666 MHz, MSI A520M-A PRO, and I'm running Windows 11. The issue I'm facing is that every morning, during the first boot of the day, my PC crashes within the first couple of minutes. Sometimes it displays a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), and other times it just restarts without any error message. After this initial boot, it runs smoothly for the rest of the day. The errors I've encountered include PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA, KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE, and SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (0x3B). I've already tried a few troubleshooting steps, such as running SFC and DISM, checking the disk with chkdsk, switching the RAM slots, disabling the page file, and lowering the RAM frequency from 2666 MHz to 2400 MHz. Any advice on how to fix this issue would be really appreciated! Thanks!

If you haven’t yet, try downloading multiple dump files for better analysis. You can find them in the C:WindowsMinidump folder. Just zip them up and upload them to a file-sharing site so we can take a look. The more info we have, the easier it will be to pinpoint the issue!
Have you tried updating your BIOS? Sometimes, BIOS updates can resolve compatibility issues that lead to those kinds of crashes. It's worth checking out, and you can usually find the latest version on the manufacturer's website.
It sounds like you're dealing with some kind of kernel memory corruption. Most often, this is due to faulty RAM or a driver issue that acts up in kernel mode. I recommend testing with a different RAM module if you have one available. It's the easiest way to rule that out! Posting those dump files would definitely help in diagnosing the problem further. Let's see if this helps!
You should definitely check the Windows event logs. They can provide some insight into what's going wrong during that initial boot. If you're unsure how to interpret them, I can help guide you through that!
