As a general rule more RAM and more sticks of RAM is better than faster RAM, so I'd try to use all 4 sticks. If the system is stable, you can try bumping it up to 2666 but I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Well one is very clearly optimised for Intel, the other for AMD. If you have an intel CPU probably both will work, even though I'd still recommend buying the optimised part. Amd chips tend to be a lot more picky though so if you have one of those buying sticks optimised for Intel is really asking for trouble. -
Check CPU temps. Dry thermal paste can cause such behavior. Other than that I'd look for lose power cables. A lose point of connection heats up during operation causing rising resistance until finally system shuts down. When you let it cool it revives for a bit.

A tech tip I've actually heard from Linus and can vouch for "if there's ghosts in the system, if nothing makes sense, it's the power supply" so I'd look there (although on paper you do have a decent unit). It might just as well be a lose power cable. Generally speaking in cases of inconsistent behavior, I tend to look towards hardware.

Hello, Does anyone know if I can safely delete DRIVERS partition which Windows created during installation after I loaded intel rapid storage drivers to install the OS?

I had a similar issue which I've solved by swapping my RAM for a Ryzen certified kit. Is your memory certified for use with Ryzen chips? If possible I'd also try using a different graphics card and also putting your current one in a different rig.

I'm assuming it lit up after pressing the power button? Why is there a knot of cables in the top left corner?

I'd say the best use of your budget would be to stick with your DDR4 memory (although this depends on how many gigs you already have) and get a 13th gen chip and mobo to go with it. Being able to reuse RAM is a big financial advantage of the intel platform. If you really want to switch to DDR5 for whatever reason, you should be able to fit 7800x3D in your budget which I would say is the "chip-to-get" for gaming at the moment. As far as mobo goes, you kind of need to provide more info as to what are your requirements.
-
Can't you stick with your RAM as well? Both 13th gen and a 5800x3D should support it.
-
Do try it then, with safe mode and everything.

When reinstalling graphics drivers, did you use DDU?
-
Can you post the errors?
-
What errors are those? On nvlddmkm and application? Anything about display driver? What about 4G decoding?
-
Check if Event Log shows driver errors corresponding with the times your games shutdown. If it does, I'd be willing to bet it's the same issue I've battled with. If you have a friend who also has a Ryzen system, I'd try to ask to borrow a stick for a day and check if that helps. You could also try to enable Above 4G decoding if you haven't already, that seemed to have made things a bit more stable in my case.

Just a quick thought, is that RAM certified to run with Ryzen? Is there a label on the packaging, on either the new or the old kit? I had something similar happen to me, it turned out that the kit I got had two SKUs, one was Ryzen certified, the other was not. I happened to get one without it and it caused video driver crashes. Even though memtest didn't find any errors. Although I did also get crashes in GPU benchmarks, most notably Furmark. You could try to run with a single stick of RAM, the problem is, even if it doesn't help, it still will not rule out RAM completely.
