Occasional BSODs on a newly built gaming PC. Need help solving the issue.

I have been getting occasional BSODs on a newly built PC, with the computer slowing down and losing fps before crashing. Normally, the computer instantly restarts after crashing, but the past two times it has crashed, it remained on the BSOD screen, allowing me to see the stop code. The first was DRIVER IQRL NOT LESS OR EQUAL, and the second was DPC WATCHDOG VIOLATION. I have run memtest86+ on my computer for over 7 hours and it passed 9 times without any errors. There is also nothing in my C:\Windows\Minidump folder, which I checked after the most recent crash.

    The file was not saved as evtx, please save it again and then upload.

    Sorry. I have the correct permissions enabled in this link, and the file extension shows up as .evtx, so it should work:

    The logs indicate Kernel Power error 41(63), usually means a hardware problem with the power supply. If possible, test using another PSU to see if the problem persists.

    In some cases it can also mean problems with power management in the BIOS or motherboard, in this case try turning off all CPU power saving modes in the BIOS settings.

    If the issue did lie in the PSU, and I swapped it out, would I be able to run driver verifier to check for BSODs, or would the computer crash regardless of if the issue persists or went away.
