I have been in the PC business longer than id like to admit so seen most things but this one is beating me!

So spec first:
5800x3d
GIGABYTE X570 I AORUS PRO WIFI
32gb 2x16gb 3600 c16 corsair
6800xt

Symptom= Random crashes in all games, no consistancy to the errors. Sometimes the game hard closes, sometimes pc restarts.

What I have tried:
bios update
bios reset
removed all over/underclocks
DDU GPU drivers
Fully update windows
Monitor temps (both cpu & gpu below 75c)
Full windows format

There is nothing of any value in event viewer.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as at this point im stumped!

Thanks in advance

Finally found the issue! It was memory all along, failed memtest and wouldnt even run stable with xmp enabled. Thanks for everyones help, I can now play the buggy fallout 4 update knowing the crashes arent my systems fault haha

Xmp is sometimes overclocked settings and bios doesn't like it. Trying running at default jedec specs and also trying updating the bios to increase ram compatibility.
