Random assortment of crashes, errors and bugs

Hello.

I don't know where to start grabbing logs and information, so I'll describe what keeps happening on my machine as best as I can. None of these problems are replicable, they happen at random and have become more frequent as time goes on.

-Random BSOD with "IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL", "FAUL PAGE ON NONPAGE AREA", "SYSTEM SERVICE EXCEPTION", and some others at random, those are the 3 common ones.
-Screen "flashing" while still showing the cursor. Sometimes it ends up logging off by itself. Event viewer shows a ton of warning and errors around crashing times, sometimes involving explorer.exe and dwm.exe
-3Dapps and games sometimes go black as the last point, then sounds like when you unplug an USB memory, and comes back running poorly if it didn't crash, often times without the color configuration set in the NVidia control pannel.

PC is running with a Ryzen 5 3600 cpu, a 1660ti evga sc ultra gpu, 16gb ram 3000mhz and a a2000 1tb nvme drive on a gigabyte b450m-ds3h

Usually these errors just showed occasionally for me to not care or disregard them as "diy pc stuff", but they've become constant enough to hinder PC use. I need to work and I want to be able to play again.

Thanks in advance.
 
Yes but it didn't work that way nor by restarting the pc, so I left it for the day. Today it works and I don't know what changed.

To add another error, now explorer.exe completely disappears, can't open task manager for more than a few seconds and Ctrl+Alt+Del gives a "Failure to display security and shut-down options".

I haven't been able to properly shut down the pc in 2 months, it gets ahead of me every time.
 
I rather suspect that you have a RAM issue. The dumps taken collectively strongly point at RAM being the common denominator. There is no indication in any of the dumps of this being a rogue third-party driver. One of th dumps actually flags memory corruption as the likely cuase in the triage analysis...
Code: 
FAILURE_BUCKET_ID:  MEMORY_CORRUPTION_ONE_BIT
In addition, your Application log shows a number of different application errors with 0xC0000005 exception codes - they indicate a memory access violation.

I would suggest that the first thing you should do is run a thorough RAM test...
  1. Download Memtest86 (free), use the imageUSB.exe tool extracted from the download to make a bootable USB drive containing Memtest86 (1GB is plenty big enough). Do this on a different PC if you can, because you can't fully trust yours at the moment.
  2. Then boot that USB drive on your PC, Memtest86 will start running as soon as it boots.
  3. If no errors have been found after the four iterations of the 13 different tests that the free version does, then restart Memtest86, and do another four iterations.
This will find about 95% of potential RAM issues. Even a single error is a failure.

If Memtest86 finds no RAM errors then we will move on to look at other possibilities.
 
Well that's pretty conclusive. I would advise against using Memtest to locate the failing stick and just replacing that. You are best advised to replace both by buying a pack of two RAM sticks, to be sure of getting a matched pair. Buying RAM sticks individually is not wise.

You might possibly get away with buy another RAM stick with exactly the same part number as the good one. But even that's not guaranteed they'll be a matched pair.
