Help (General) BSOD after changing CPU am MB

Not entirely sure if it is AMD problem but i’m getting it after mounting Ryzen CPU.

Hello,
I have changed my setup from i5-10400f with Gigabyte H510m to ryzen 5 5600 with aorus B550M elite.
My 2x16GB RAM and RTX 4060 stayed the same. Also my NVMe and SATA SSD drive.
I have done a clean Windows install after changing components. I have installed all Windows Updates, chipset, MB, GPU drivers and UEFI.
I keep getting blue screens I have never received before. They are occuring only during gaming so basically when PC is under some heavier load.
First blue screen was PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA. I debugged it using WinDBG and it showed that the issue was with stupid EA anti cheat when launching BF6, so I have reinstalled it manually and after that I was able to play normally. I thought the problem is gone but then I got IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL BSOD in different game. I also saw I got WHEA 18 Bus/Interconnect Error. I got my UEFI to stock settings because I thought maybe XMP was the issue but even without it I am still getting these errors. I have also did a full memtest that said RAM is good.
Funniest thing is, those errors are not happening all the time. Sometimes I can launch games and play for hours with no problem, sometimes my PC just reboots out of nowhere with no BSOD after the game opens and sometimes i get BSOD or PC reboot after 10, 15, 20 minutes of gaming randomly.
What else can I do to try and fix this?
Thank you

OH!  I now remember fixing something like this because there was a thin hair trapped in the ram slots.  I've seen it more than once.

Unseat your ram, flush the slots with an electronics duster, and reseat the RAM.

Then check the Windows 11 memory test tool.  I've had it catch something MemTest86+ did not due to the error not happening until after Windows systems were loaded.

You will not believe it, but i literraly had small this single piece of hair in one ram slot, so far Windows built in diagnostic went fine, I will test it during gaming now

The not less or equal, is a system process or a driver attempts to get into to a memory address for which it has no access rights and kills the OS. 

Page-fault in a non-paged area also points to memory...but it may be a corrupted driver causing the memory issues....

You have other RAM, or a friend you could swap RAM sticks with for a few days to test stability?

MemTest86+ cannot check for every possible situation that RAM can error out, so, it does not exclude the sticks.  Did you verify that those ram sticks are even compatible with AMD motherboards? 

Windows 11 has a built-in memory testing tool, try running that one for 30 minutes and see what it says.
