I have a computer running an i-9 14900K CPU with 32GB of RAM on an Samsung EVO Pro SSD with Windows 11 Home. The power supply is 1200watts. For some reason the system became unstable. I started getting X-Plane 12 crashes to the extent I could complete every 3rd or 4th - 1 hour flight in the 737-800NG. BSODs went from occasional to 1 or 2 per day. This seem to occur over a period of a month, or so. MSFS would occasionally crash also for no apparent reason. I tested the RAM vigorously with MEM86+ and stressed the CPU and Motherboard. No BSODs. I concluded that the issue must be a failing M.2 SSD windows boot drive, so I replaced it. Same result.
Today, I reinstalled windows on a new Samsung Pro SSD. I wiped the drive containing X-Plane, destructively formatted it and reinstalled X-Plane 12. Basically, Windows and X-plane are the only real apps on the computer at this point. Both are fresh installs.
X-Plane 12 tries to load but fails. Digging into the Event Viewer reveals the following error under Custom Views>Administrative Events:

I've tried restalling X-Plane on Drive C: the SSD Boot drive - same result. So far X-Plane is the only program that has this issue. A different licensed copy of XP12 is running on my older computer without issues. My motherboard is under warranty but ASUS believe's it's a software issue. I'm at my wit's end. Hopefully, you can help me fix this. I'm desperate.
