    Memory corruption is not necessarily related to RAM.

    Try forcing Windows to show failed drivers and produce minidump files, enable Driver Verifier for this;

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/for...

    Let the BSOD happen 3 times and then see if the files were created.

    Before running Driver Verifier, create a new system restore point.

    If you have problems starting Windows after enabling Driver Verifier, follow these steps:

    Start your PC, as soon as Windows tries to load (spinning dots appear), press and hold the power button for 5 to 10 seconds to perform a forced shutdown

    Do this two or three times.

    Windows will boot into the Recovery Environment.

    Go to Troubleshoot > Advanced Option > Startup Settings and click Restart.

    When restarting, press 4 to enter safe mode.

    Open command prompt as administrator, run these two commands and restart your PC.

    verifier /reset

    verifier /bootmode resetonbootfail

    The minidump files do not indicate any driver or hardware causes, only memory corruption.

    Please go to BIOS settings and check if Secure Boot option is enabled.
