computer keeps Blue screening

[dailith]

Hello there everyone, 

 

So im at my witts end. my computer has been bluescreening for well over a few months now.
Initially, i was having bluescreens constantly while on my NVMe. So i sent it in for RMA, (this week) and moved Windows over to my other NVMe. the bluescreens have all but stopped. but they are still happening. i notice the bluescreens when gaming, as thats almost all i do on the computer. it doesnt happen every night, but it can happen more then once a night. 
now, i mostly have games just crash randomly. mostly through steam and rockstar, telling that the game files are damaged and i need to validate the game files. all games are installed to a NVMe. OS NVMe and gaming NVMe are all brand new. 
the most common blue screen i get is a memory management error.
this sounds like a ram issue, so i ordered new ram, which should be here monday. but i fear that wont fix the issue. 
the mobo is newish, bought in January. The ram is a few years old. the CPU is also less then a year old, and so is the graphics card. 
 I have reinstalled windows 3 times in the last month, on various NVMe, so i know its not a storage issue. 
as far as i know, the mobo bios is running the newest version, but im not entirely sure. 

do you guys have any other ideas what it could be? 
i would hate for it to be the mobo, or, even worse, send the mobo in for repair, just for it to not be the problem. 

mobo: gigabyte x570 master
chipset: ryzen 5950x
GPU: gigabyte RTX 3070 aorus master
ram: 32gb of ddr4 3200 Viper ram
HDD: 1 ADATA 1TB NVME, 1 1TB inland NVME adn 1 4TB inland VNME

I know, but it's just for troubleshooting. You're GPU bottlenecked so it won't affect much performance

so disabled the XMP, and not 10 hours later, the PC blue screened again. so i went ahead and removed the old ram, installed the new ram. now its waiting game. the last bluescreen was the 20th. i havnt seen it do it since. if it doesnt do it again over the next week, im going to conclude its the ram. which is easy to repair. (patriot/viper RMA is good)

so, ive been running for about 8 days now and havnt had a single problem. so it looks like it was the ram. now to see if patriot will honor their life time warranty
