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

    Here are the screenshots. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AtII6RheVqT8hNghLJspZqz-If4xGw?e=BYDdQB

    Should I swap RAM and start testing all of this again now?

    On the bright side, it took over 30h this time for a crash. It seems the system shut down while I was asleep, no blue screens, just an unexpected shutdown in Reliability history. I found it weird that it didn't restart, even though I never set a password for this user after installing Windows 10.

    Please make sure that the three HD Tune tests are performed on each drive.

    Indicate if all components are original or whether some were replaced.

    Check the RAM modules to see if there are or are not on the computer manufacturer's Qualified Vendor List (QVL).

    Run OCCT

    (each tab is approximately a one hour test)

    The computer has had BSOD with both Windows 11 and Windows 10.

    When Windows 10 was installed it was installed with new drivers.

    Browsers should not be related to computer instability as they were replaced during the Windows 10 installation too.

    If OCCT results display pass then I'm not aware of any additional steps except for swap testing the RAM modules and or swap testing the disk drive on the laptop.

    Contact Acer to see if they have any additional troubleshooting methods for the laptop.

    Contact a local computer repair shop for troubleshooting.

    I've run all the tests and here's the link to everything I've collected.

    There's one thing I've noticed today, though. I don't know if this may help or not but it seems most of the crashes I can remember happened while I was using either Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome. There was a blue screen the first time I ran prime95, but just before it happened, a friend messaged me on Discord and I opened a browser to find a picture to send him. Once I opened Edge this time, it crashed. Then I ran prime95 again, for, I think 3 and a half hours, and there were no crashes, but I also didn't really do much other than monitor the temperatures. Edge also hangs sometimes, especially when opening it, which is why I have been trying to get used to Chrome again
