I recently just began using my custom gaming PC again because I upgraded the GPU. Here is my build, the only change is that now I have an Asus RTX 4060: PCPartPicker Part List
Within a day of gaming, its become more and more unstable to the point where in is mostly just boot-looping and bluescreening now. Here are some of the error codes: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA, SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION, ATTEMPTED_WRITE_TO_READONLY_MEMORY, CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED.
I tried to clean install windows since its been like 7 or 8 years since I built this PC, but now I can’t making through the install process without BSOD. What could be the issue here? I’ve turned off XMP on the memory and reset the bios to all safe defaults. I’m hoping this is just bad RAM or SSD. What should my next steps be in diagnosing hardware issues?
Thanks!

You can check if it is ram using memtest:

Yeah I’ve read that’s a good tool, but my PC is so unstable at the moment that I can’t even download it.
Don’t put money in this old stuff. Replace the whole thing and reuse the video card.
Problem is, 6th gen CPUs aren’t supported under 11, the max. you can upgrade to is a 7th gen, same thing, not supported. These CPUs are also very outdated and slow compared to modern CPUs, the best ones are about 1/3 the performance of a modern higher end CPU.
Also modern 16 Gbit based DDR4 RAM isn’t supported on 6th and 7th gen CPU. If you replace the RAM, make sure you get 8 Gbit based RAM (8GB 1Rx8, 16 GB 2Rx8).
These all sound like memory errors.
You can test your memory with Memtest86+
What happens if you only use 1 ram stick at a time? Or different ram, if you have it?
