No luck here. At the time I thought things have settled down but no. I even replaced the Ram with new dimms but still the same problem. I also reinstalled windows 11 to rule out any driver issues.
My latest minidump is this: Easyupload.io - Upload Files and Share Them Easily. At this point it seems to me the culprit is my cpu. I cannot think what else could it be? My temps are fine.

Hi!

- Make sure you have the two ram sticks seated in the second and fourth slots (starting from the CPU).
- Update the BIOS to 7C84v1I.1 (Beta version) 2024-09-05.
- Load optimized defaults (F6).
- Set the RAM frequency/speed to 3200 MHz (MT/s).
- Uninstall MSI center and run Clean Center Master to completely remove MSI Center
- Post fresh logs.

Thanks for your post. I have set the ram to various speeds to no effect.

With my new installation of Win11 I never installed MSI center or any of their crapware other than the drivers needed for the chipset/cpu. Dimms are on 2nd and 4rh slot. Would it be essential to update to the very latest Beta version? I tend to stay away from beta releases. I have already tried F6.

Not essential, especially if you don't want it.
Please, new logs.

By new logs do you mean to say new minidumps?

You had two whea-logger event ids:

The VPN seems the culprit (in the first one).
You also got two driver verifier violations about mullvad-split-tunnel.sys.

If you uninstall it, could you always re-install it?
Could you live without it for some days?
How often do bsods occur?

Yes I can uninstall mullvad though I mostly use it inside vmware. It does not run by default and I do not often turn it on while on my main windows. Bsods occur daily or every other day or few days. About once each day, never had many in the same day. Logs: Easyupload.io - Upload Files and Share Them Easily
