Recurring ntoskrnl.exe crashes and BSODs on a new PC with random BugCheck causes and different drivers - help needed!

AVE...

I have a constant problem with running Windows 10 on a new PC. First crashes were caused by faulty PSU, but I replaced it already. Other components (CPU, GPU, motherboard, SSD, RAM) are brand new. I have two old hard drives too, but I use them for storage only.

I have random BSODs with random BugCheck errors, all indicating the culprit to be ntoskrnl.exe with address 3f5780. No matter what I do, I can't avoid BSODs 3-5 times a day. Things I did:

  1. DISM and SFC, multiple times. Found some corrupt files on two occasions, fixed them, no results.
  2. Driver Verifier #1, found problems with ene.sys (Gigabyte RGB Fusion and related bloatware). Cleared it all out and removed offending file. Didn\t work.
  3. Driver Verifier #2, this time it was AmdTools64.sys, removed all amd*.sys files just in case. Didn't help.
  4. Driver Verifier #3, Avast VM driver sys file this time. At that point I decided it's not the drivers, it's something else.
  5. I ran MemTest 86 on my memory (which is overclocked by XMP profile). No errors. Also state of overclocking has no effect on the BSODs.
  6. I checked temperatures, ran AIDA64 stability tests, ran Fumark test on GPU, no problems with that since PSU was replaced.
  7. Last night I ran Media Creation Tool to overwrite the entire OS. I had 3 BSODs since, including one while writing this.

I had following BugChecks (as shown by BlueScreen View):

0x0000003b (00000000c0000005, fffff8056b0087de, ffffc58c841def40, 0000000000000000)

0x00000001 (00007ff9f8a0c074, 0000000000000000, 000000000000ffff, ffff8707`88461b80)

0x00000139 (000000000000001e, ffffdd09f7f28f50, ffffdd09f7f28ea8, 0000000000000000)

0x00000139 (000000000000001e, ffffcb0f5f40cf50, ffffcb0f5f40cea8, 0000000000000000)

All logs, minidumps and last memory dump file are here:

EDIT:

Just had another BSOD. This time with XMP disabled. BlueScreen View says:

0x00000133 (0000000000000000, 0000000000000501, 0000000000000500, fffff800444fa320)

with ntoskrnl.exe+3f5780, as always. File version: 10.0.19041.685 (WinBuild.160101.0800).

    A few months ago I brought my PC to the computer store because it suddenly stopped booting up. They checked components (they worked), cleaned everything, reseated the CPU and updated OS and drivers. No BSoDs since then...

    It's a weird problem. Sometimes it's hardware, sometimes software, and always annoying. But the root cause is in the way OS handles power management - there is something wrong in timing, which corrupts memory. And it's sensitive to the quality of connections between CPU, RAM and motherboard...

    Yes, after all of the research that I made I don't believe that the issue is from the CPU itself. Nobody experienced this issue from Linux or older versions of Windows like W7.

    I bet that this issue appeared from a Windows 10 update in September - February 2020/2021.

    So, the question is still up, did somebody can tell us if the problem still occurs in W11?
