Event 46 WHEA-Logger, Memory Issues and BSoD

Good morning,

I have been having consistent crashes (blue screens) of my PC for 6 months now. I am not able to identify the cause of the issue, would you be able to diagnose the problem.

PC specs:

Motherboard; ASUS ROG STRIX X570-E GAMING WIFI II

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X

GPU: EVGA RTX 3080 Ti XC3 ULTRA GAMING (12G-P5-3955)

RAM: 32GB (2x16GB) Corsair DDR4 Vengeance

PSU: 850W Corsair RMx Series RM850x, Fully Modular, 80PLUS Gold

I have the same problem as mentioned here:

However, there are no C:\Windows\Minidump directory on my machine.
Also, I have installed HWiNFO64 but I am not sure how to detect if my machine is overheating.

It would be great to have some help, I have been struggling with the PC for so long, I don't know what to do anymore.
