I know that my rig is old but it run without problems until now when I receive these BSOD every few hours or so. I tried updating all my drivers and also ran Windows Diagnostic to test my RAM. No problems indicated. I stress test every component without any glitch. A friend advised me to reset and then reinstall Windows but I researched that if does not really solve the problem if the driver causing it cannot be identified and not fixed by a fresh windows installation. I need this problem resolved as soon as possible as constant BSOD shutdowns sometimes boot my windows to Automatic repair upon startup which may corrupt system files. Thanks for your kind advice!

this is still the best course of action as u know that ur fresh installation should have no issues from the get go and also it will force u to download the latest drivers for ur devices. this should also help u to rule out a software problem if it persists, and can start seeing if hardware components other than ur ram are to blame; ur parts list looks pretty old (fx processor, rx 460 etc).

From the first impressions tell me you may have something related to CPU.

Please check that the temps are fine too.

Try a test like PCMark 10.

I figure out that it could be the RAM as a reinstallation of Windows did not help. Just RMA it anyway and waiting for it to be delivered from Taiwan. See if new RAM solve the problem. If it still doesn't, it could be the old GPU card. If it's the CPU, then the whole system is uplorry already and I may need to buy a new Ryzen system. Temp checks for CPU is ok as I am using an aftermarket cooler. Strange thing is that I stress tested every component without a single crash. But it crashed into BSOD when I opened multiple youtube videos at the same time. Really playing tikam now to see which is the culprit.
