Hi, I've bought brand new PC and started having random BSOD's while using PC or just when idling on desktop.
I've tried to use Windows Memory Diagnostic, also ran commands /scannow and such in CMD because I read it in so many other topics regarding BSOD.
I've had trouble uploading my dump files so i'll just post results here that I've got in WinDbgPreview.
I did memtest on both RAM drives and they were without errors after 4hr test each.
My specs:
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
GPU: Gigabyte WF2 RTX 2060
MOBO: Aorus B450 Pro
RAM: XPG 2X8GB 3200MHz
SSD: Kingston A2000 Nvme m.2
HDD: WD 1TB
PSU: FSP Hyper Pro+ 650W
I managed to upload dump files here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Aq6wDqYiClWbhEgyN5aN5KjPpup_?e=S7n8AY

Sadly, I think this suggests unknown hardware error.
There is one possible explanation and that is related to the increased number of AMD CPU/motherboard related crashes in recent weeks. There may be some W10 update that is required to fix it or some settings in the BIOS that need to be fixed with a BIOS update but I have yet to see any acknowledgement of a problem if it truly exists.
Ok, I've just finished testing the other RAM stick. It passed 9 tests and it was done without errors. Recently I've had very different BSOD messages, unlike when they first occured.
At first they were these four, top two being the most common BSOD
APC_INDEX_MISMATCH
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP
KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE
Now i'm gonna list all the BSOD messages:
VIDEO_DXGKRNL_FATAL_ERROR
ATTEMPTED_WRITE_TO_READONLY_MEMORY - what failed: Npfs.sys
DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION
SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION - what failed: RTKVHD64.sys
IRQL_GT_ZERO_AT_SYSTEM_SERVICE
KERNEL_THREAD_PRIORITY_FLOOR_VIOLATION
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA - what failed: Wdfilter.sys
DRIVER_OVERRAN_STACK_BUFFER
THREAD_PRIORITY_FLOOR_VIOLATION
ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OR_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY
INVALID_KERNEL_STACK_ADDRESS
KERNEL_AUTO_BOOST_LOCK_ACQUISITION_WITH_RAISED_IRQL
KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL - what failed: tcpip.sys

Yes, the difference is number of passes. 86 allows 4 passes for free, while 86+ allows 8. As most of the errors are detected on the later passes, it is wise to run the test on another stick, Keep us posted on how that goes.
I've tried to do that but to no avail. I downloaded memtest86 (regular memtest86 not memtest86+) from other site, which is also official memtest site and it worked. Did 10 passes last night on one of the RAM sticks and it went without errors. What is the difference between memtest86 and memtest86+ ? Is it just the number of passes ?
Tonight I'll do 10 tests on other RAM stick and keep you posted but i really doubt RAM is causing all this. Could problem be related to GPU memory or SSD, HDD ? Also could faulty keyboard cause this, because i spilled some water on this one while using my old PC and it is working but not all keys.

Can you check by disabling UEFI in the BIOS settings and boot from Legacy BIOS?
