I'd proceed in this way:
1) Open an elevated command prompt (right-click on start, click command prompt (admin) and launch chkdsk for each one of your partitions/drives; example:
2) If their results is
Windows has scanned the file system and found no problems., launch:3) If its result is "no integrity violations", update windows to the latest version
4) Update these drivers from your manufacturer website (if you didn't already do it):
- Intel INF installation (Note) Win10 ver.1903 supported. [10.1.18243.8188] 2020/03/10
- Intel Serial I/O driver (Note) Win10 ver.1903 supported. [30.100.1915.1] 2019/06/12

5) Update your BIOS; How to update the BIOS? Click the show button below this line.

You have two methods: Q-Flash or @BIOS.
From the manual:
Given that you have BSODs in windows, I'd avoid this method.
Therefore Q-Flash should be the preferred method.
Make sure to don't update the BIOS during a storm (thunderstorm, rainstorm) and (if possible) that power from the mains won't go away - won't be interrupted.
Download the F3a BIOS version.
Update the BIOS using q-flash; below this line are present full instructions:
Put the downloaded BIOS, B365MAE.F3a, in a USB stick.
Reboot your machine/pc, press the end key (on your keyboard) just after the reboot and Q-Flash should pop-up:
- Use the up or down arrow key to select Save Main BIOS to Drive and press enter (on the keyboard) to save the current BIOS file in your USB stick (or in one of your hard disk drives).
- Select Update BIOS from Drive, press enter.
Select the F3a BIOS update file on your USB stick and press enter.
It will ask you "Are you sure to update BIOS?": press enter to begin the BIOS update.
The monitor will display the update process.
Do not turn off or restart the system when the system is reading/updating the BIOS.
Do not remove the USB stick when the system is updating the BIOS.
When the update process is complete, press any key to return to the main menu.
- Press esc (the esc key on the keyboard) and then enter to exit Q-Flash and reboot the system.
- During the POST (i.e., just right after the reboot), press delete (or del, key on your keyboard) to enter BIOS Setup.
- Select Load Optimized Defaults and press enter to load BIOS defaults.
- Select Save & Exit Setup and then press Y (yes, the Y key on your keyboard) to save settings to CMOS and exit BIOS Setup.
Finally, save your two BIOSs in a safe place for the future (i.e., in case you'll need them) and you can use again your USB stick for other purposes.
6) If you will still get bsods, post them here and in the meanwhile do two ram test with these programs:
Test RAM with HCIDesign Memtest
Test RAM with PassMark MemTest86
