BSOD when playing games

My system crashes when playing games like Witcher 3 or most recently Baldurs Gate 3.
It also crashes when I am exporting pictures in Adobe Lightroom.
(Lightroom does not crash when I deactivate the usage of the gpu)

I am running Windows 11 22H2.

I have installed the latest version of the AMD driver.
I have tried to undervolt the gpu, without any effect.
The windows mem test did not bring up any problems.

My system was pretty stable last year and could play witcher for hours. So maybe the newer drivers dont work for my setup or it is something else.

There doesn't appear to be any dump files or any evidence of BSOD crashes from your event log. Are you sure you have experienced a Blue Screen of Death or is this rather a more general system crash?

Yes, I get a green screen and than a reboot.
In the event log an can see this errors:

Machine Check Exception
Cache Hierarchy Error

Your event logs must use a slightly different term in German because I simply searched for the translation of bugcheck which is usually how they're recorded in the event logs with English.

Those two bugchecks typically indicate some form of hardware failure so I would suggest testing with Prime95 if you haven't already done so.

Possibly unstable VRAM. (on GPU) A GSOD, (green instead of blue) means you have an Insider build of Windows.

It seems that especially Ryzen, gives this reason, even when it was unstable VRAM and not unstable CPU cache.
