Run Windows update (immediately after installation) and after any reboots, until no more updates are found.

Then check in Device Manager that all devices have a driver installed (no yellow triangles containing black exclamation marks).
If any devices are missing drivers look first under 'View optional updates' in Windows Update. Expand the Driver Updates section and look for a suitable driver in there.
If there are no suitable drivers there then look on your motherboard vendor's support website and download drivers from there.
If there are no drivers there then look on the hardware device vendor's website for a suitable driver.

DO NOT (ever) use a third-party driver search and install tool (like DriverEasy).

Then test the system as thoroughly as you can but DO NOT install any other software or plug in any additional hardware.

You were experiencing multiple BSODs and crashes according to your OP, so testing it in this pristine state for a day should be long enough to see whether it BSODs/crashes.

If it does BSOD/crash in this pristine state then you almost certainly have a hardware problem and we'll tell you what tests to run to find out what.

If it doesn't BSOD/crash in this pristine state then SLOWLY reinstall third-party apps and plug in additional hardware.
Do this one app/device at a time. I'd advise plugging in external devices first, one device at at time. Allow any drivers time to install and then test the system for 20 minutes before plugging in the next device and repeat the testing. Then install one third-party app and test the system for 20 minutes before installing the next third-party app.
You will either successfully install all devices and apps, or you'll identify the device or app that causes you problems.
