BSOD whenever I start gaming

You mentioned that you disabled 2 cores and you did not get bsod, only stutters. Is it possible that CPU is not getting enough power? Have you plugged in all cables in CPU power socket?
OP says it's freezing and locking during windows operation. So highly doubt it's software or driver related. Mobo or GPU most likely. OP also did the fresh install that i recommended, on a spare hdd..to rule out a bad NVME, that had the same issues.
Also it was unusable Win 10 on HDD, it's so bad. Games was lagging more coz of HDD. Not sure how people manage with HDD on Win 10.
Not sure about what drive you used and its health, but games should not lag ideally. Yes, boot times and responsiveness would be terrible, but once everything is loaded it should not cause games to lag. If your drive is good, its probably more evidence pointing to a potential bad board.

OP has already tried and mentioned that he has tried this step already.tried with 1 stick at a time in different slots already, no help
thats the only option.i guess then RMA everything else which hasn't been.
nvidia drivers do have stutter issue , actually the issue is on windows end nvidia claim to have resolved it from their end
Also stop all the hw monitor utilities and test and razer are also known for its bad software & drivers

Buddy..pls read the full thread before posting
OP has clearly mentioned that he has bought a new PSU and that did not solve the stuttering issue.It used to BSOD on old PSU, since new PSU only stutter happens. On old PSU both BSOD & Stutter happened.
Tried it, also on same hardware everything was working fine till 2 months ago. So clearly one of the component is causing issue. I dont think its software problem.
I gave motherboard for replacement will take 1 week. If still problem doesn't go away then next I will RMA the RAM then SSD, then GPU once again (as 1% chance I got bad RMA GPU last month)
5 Months of my life wasted doing replacement & going to service centers lol
I understand your situation, Quality of everything degraded over time.I gave motherboard for replacement will take 1 week. If still problem doesn't go away then next I will RMA the RAM then SSD, then GPU once again (as 1% chance I got bad RMA GPU last month)

Last week I bought a MSI mobo and trying to fix a issue - One of a Pcie slot didn't detects my sound card after cold boot, however it works when I swap from other pcie slot and softboot or reset it.
after troubleshooting everything for last 3-4 days, I reached to the conclusion something isn't right with Bios code.
My situation is even different , what to do when you don't 've service center in your city, taking it to 70kms is these times is another stress moreover it's BIOS issue which can't be resolved with a replacement.
Such poor programming skills.
just because of this issue I need to plug it in other Pcie slot near my GPU which is now running 10-12C hotter.
Most likely your problem should be resolved with new mobo, if not then we'll restart the loop from GPU
Yes I thought of doing that it would be lot faster. But RMA all together has 2 drawbacks.
1) RMA-ing good components which are working perfect is not good as they give you refurbished, repaired or B grade replacement stock. I think only AMD gives you brand new CPU which is meant to be sold at store shelves rest all companies give you open box re-tested/repaired stuff.
2) You will never know what was the issue. So just for learning purpose it's good to do 1 by 1 even though it's lot more time consuming
