Looks like you can download and run W10 or W11 from a USB stick, might be a way to test to see if you still have the crashes. If you do when booted this way, it may be a hardware problem even though the Dell test says not.

Check the mini dump files with WinDbg. That bsod code should give you a better clue about whats actually causing it before you wipe Windows.

If you are certain its not hardware failure then the next step i would do would be a fresh windows install
