Only with the minidump files to identify the cause.
Yes, it will be compatible, however some motherboards are compatible with some RAM and this list can be found on the manufacturer's website.
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.

2024-08-11T02:50:48+00:00 Sorry, are you saying I should make sure the driver verifier is off, set a system restore, turn on the driver verifier and try it again? If so, wouldn't that just lead me to the same outcome where the minidump files aren't generated and I'm just prompted to restore my computer?

But since you did the restore when trying to activate it, it is probably disabled and you will need to enable it again so that the files are created and then disable it by starting Windows in safe mode as I indicated in the steps above.
