Blue Screen Kernel security check failed

I've had this blue screen on a brand new install of Windows 11, I've updated all drivers, I've also run sfc scan and DISM commands, none returned any errors. I've uploaded the minidump to OneDrive, and I'd appreciate it if anyone could take a look at it and tell me what could be causing this error.

Here's the link to the minidump file: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AtII6RheVqT8hNdiUUUN7wg5OXwsIQ?e=Tqr93R

The computer had BSOD with Windows 11 and Windows 10.

The findings are consistent with malfunctioning hardware.

Some of the steps that were performed earlier in this thread may be repeated.

Testing hardware using software stress tests unfortunately often displays pass when there is malfunctioning hardware (false negative).

Typically swap testing is required.

  1. Download and install one of these temperature monitoring software:

Speccy

https://www.ccleaner.com/speccy

HWMonitor

https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html

Speedfan https://www.almico.com/speedfan.php

  1. Run Prime95 https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/16474-prime95-stress-test-your-cpu.html Test for 3 hours.

Make note of when to abort testing in the link.

Post images or share links into this thread.

Record the continuous testing time and the highest temperature.

  1. Run Furmark https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/13081-furmark-gpu-stress-test.html Test for 30 minutes.

Make note of when to abort testing in the link.

Post images or share links into this thread.

Record the continuous testing time and the highest temperature.

  1. Run Memtest86 (free version) https://www.memtest86.com/ Run two tests of four passes each (total eight passes)

Take pictures and post images or share links into this thread.

Memtest86 has a feature to create text reports.

If possible, include the text reports with the images in the share links.

  1. Run HD Tune

https://www.hdtune.com/

Post images or share links for results on these tabs:

a) Health

b) Benchmark

c) Full error scan

These can be performed overnight while sleeping:

a) Memtest86

b) HD Tune full error scan

    HI,

    Sorry for the delayed reply.

    I will suggest that you clean uninstall the currently installed AMD driver using AMD Cleanup Utility(https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/gpu-601) then download and install the available driver from the PC manufacturer's or AMD support website.

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and keep me posted.

    Here is the memory dump: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AtII6RheVqT8hNdovZe7UEF11qt8nA?e=eYQHdG

    I'm reinstalling the AMD drivers now and will run the tests again. As for the RAM, the laptop came with one of them, and I couldn't find the same brand, so I got a Kingston stick with the same frequency in the end of April. I installed it on April 30th or May1st, considering the date of purchase, and haven't had any issues until this month of July. Could that have started causing this issue after 2 months? I thought of replacing it but after testing with just one stick before, I still got BSODs. Although, in retrospect, I suppose it could have been the Logitech G Hub driver as well, which I still didn't know about.

    Open administrative command prompt and copy and paste:

    PowerShell $D=(New-Object -ComObject Wscript.Shell).SpecialFolders(4);Compress-Archive "%WinDir%\MEMORY.DMP" "$D\Memory_dmp"

    Post a share link into this thread with only the compressed memory dump file.

    The computer has mismatched RAM modules.

    When were each module installed?

    PartNumber : SMS4WEC8C1K0446FCG

    PartNumber : KF3200C20S4/8G

    Uninstall the AMD GPU driver again.

    Install a version different from:

    30.0.15021.11005

    27.20.1022.3003

    Use the AMD website:

    https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/gpu-driver-autodetect https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/gpu-131

    If there are continued BSOD related to the AMD GPU driver then plan to use only the Nvidia GPU.

    I've left the tests running while also downloading some things and browsing. It got a few BSODs and probable BSODs(while I wasn't looking) but only one of them generated a MiniDump file. Idk if that will be enough info but I'm attaching it here, and I'll leave the tests running a bit longer to see if it'll generate more relevant data. Also, this last time it restarted while I was away, I came back to a "No bootable device" screen. I had to turn the laptop off and turn it on again after a second for the SSD to be recognised in the BIOS again. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AtII6RheVqT8hNdn8whr3ijn_rY7sQ?e=zlcGc4
