so i recently bought a ryzen 5 3600, b450m pro4 motherboard and 16 gb ddr4 3200mhz ram,

the problem is that i randomly get blue screens.. i recently got 2 ... one where i was in a overwatch ranked game and another right as i restarted my pc

could this be a ram issue? i had xmp profile 2.0 running at 3200mhz but just now ive tried turning it off now and playing at 2933mhz.. still have to test it but does anyone know if xmp could be causing this?

Did you update the BIOS?
Did you do a clean OS install?

What error messages are displayed?

There is a program called bluescreen view which will show you exactly what error code/ happened during the blue screen.

When replacing major components, especially CPU, Ram, and Motherboard a fresh install of Windows is always advised as you can have some serious software issues, like driver corruption and Windows issues.

Yeah, your OS is all sorts of messed up atm - reinstalling when changing systems is always the first thing to do.
