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

    Hey there, I wanna say I really appreciate your help so far. This is the weirdest issue I've ever had, since usually a clean Windows installation could fix any other issues.

    So I've run a few tests. When you mentioned reinstalling the AMD driver before with a different version, I chose "optional" and got a BSOD while restarting, so I left the PC running WDV on the GTX 1650 alone and it got a BSOD like 12h ish later. Then I tried memtest on each ram separately, no errors. I then let the PC run on just one RAM stick on the AMD driver, got a BSOD a few hours later. Then I did the same with the other while I was sleeping, got another BSOD. I had to disable "restart on failure" because it seems the most recent BSODs were all stuck on 0% and didn't generate any newer minidump or memory log. But at least now I have two screenshots taken with my phone.

    Here's the link to the folder with some logs and the screenshots. The memory log is from when I ran only the GTX 1650. The second log is with only the Kingston ram, and the last one with the stock ram. The screenshots also have which ram they happened with between parentheses.

    Please remove the mismatched RAM module.

    Restart WDV.

    If there is no immediate BSOD then post a share link for results of administrative command prompt: verifier /querysettings

    If there is a BSOD then post a new V2 share link into the newest post.

    Plan to run WDV for 24 hours with all customized settings except:

    [ ] 0x00000004 Randomized low resources simulation.

    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.
