Pulled a shiny blue screen 💀

Runs games fine… except The Finals. That one just crashes the entire PC on launch like it has a personal vendetta against me.
It also likes to play “will I boot today?” every time I hit the power button. Sometimes it does. Sometimes it just stares at me like nothing is plugged in at all. (It also will throw a VGA code on the mobo like it doesn’t recognize a display or GPU in the pc.

At one point it had 32GB of Trident Z RGB 3600MHz RAM, but I had to remove one stick because any slight vibration would send it into a full blue screen meltdown. After a bit of troubleshooting I narrowed it down to a bad DIMM slot or board issue, but honestly I’ve lost the will to argue with it
At this point I’m calling it what it is: a very expensive paperweight with RGB
Specs if you care:
Ryzen 7 5800X
Zotac RTX 3070 Ti
16GB Trident Z RGB 3600MHz (used to be 32GB but it got unstable and I gave up)
500GB Samsung 970 EVO Plus
1TB Samsung 970 EVO
1TB WD Blue HDD
Corsair 750W Gold PSU
Gigabyte X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming
Phanteks Eclipse P400 tempered glass case
self built

Genuinely thinking I’m gonna sell it as-is before it develops further opinions about life

If anyone wants to try to convince me otherwise, please help me salvage this clanker.
