Windows 11 BSOD

My PC has been blue screening multiple times per day. I have tried to look at the minidump files to identify an issue and haven't been able to. I have updated my drivers.

I9 14900K only supports DDR4 3200MHz and DDR5 5600 MHz of ram.
Yet you have 6000 MHz of ram, the sysnative file collection of ram information shows 4800 MHz.

Hello and welcome to the forum!

Taken as a group the dumps strongly suggest that bad RAM may be the cause here. It's not so much the configured speed, the RAM is clocked at its native (SPD) speed of 4800MHz which is fine. In any case, the 5600MHz that Intel quote is only the maximum guaranteed RAM speed, most CPUs can use RAM clocked higher than this.

It will take a long time to test that 64GB of RAM with a memory tester, it will be much easier for you to simply remove one RAM stick for a few days, or until you get a BSOD. Then swap the sticks over and run on just the other stick for a few days, or until you get a BSOD. If you get a BSOD on both sticks when run on their own then RAM is probably not the problem and we'll look elsewhere.

Do check with your motherboard manual that the single stick is in the correct slot (typically A2).

Let us know how that RAM testing goes.

I ran Memtester86 and it was not able to find any issues.

I will try running with one stick at a time to see if that can narrow the issue down.

OK, try on a single stick for at least 24 hours, since you are getting multiple BSODs a day, and then swap sticks.

If it BSODs on both sticks on their own then we'll look somewhere else.
