PFN list BSOD

Sometimes I get a random BSOD, I never think anything of them because I just restart my PC and it continues normally.

I want to get to the bottom of it so I included my system info from the log collector I downloaded from here. The last BSOD was at startup, before even logging into Windows. I have fast boot enabled so it doesn't totally shut down (IIRC how fastboot works)

This last BSOD said something about a PFN list. I also sometimes get a BSOD message about pagefiles.

My PC is custom built, and I added a Ryzen 5900x in July. I also added a Nvidia 2070 2 years ago. Otherwise it's been the same hardware since 2019.

Thanks for any help!

Is your ram on the compatibility list for a 5900x?

It's normal DDR4 3200 Ram set up in xmp for normal 3200 use. No overclocking. 2x16 GB. The ram works well with my CPU 99% of the time, except once in a blue moon it BSODs.

I didnt know there could be incompatible ram. It worked fine with my 3600x.
