Prime95 failure/BSOD

So i’m actually stumped here and i don’t have any hardware to swap to diagnose to get 100% the answer of what is wrong here. The story here is i keep getting KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE. At first i tried bios updates uninstalling reinstalling every driver in my pc. I ran prime95 today with the xmp profile enabled and i got an error in worker #8(not sure if the worker number actually matters) so i reset the bios to default with stock ram settings and got the same error again. currently in the process of resetting the cmos battery and running memtest86 overnight with stock settings/bios. Best case scenario i get an error with memtest and get some new ram. if it passes all tests my thinking is replace motherboard at that point? any other suggestions or advice are welcome here! don’t really have the money to be throwing at a pc right now to “hope” that it works.

PC SPECS

CPU- Ryzen 5 3600

RAM- CL16 Trident z RGB 3200mhz

MOBO- MSI x570 mpg gaming

GPU- ROG STRIX 2070

Thank you in advance !

Prime 95 is a cpu grind heat check. Is there an OC?

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.
