WHEA Logger Event 18 after booting up game.

Hi AVlDY, I am Rob, an Independent Advisor not affiliated with Microsoft and a 15 time and dual award Microsoft MVP specializing in Windows troubleshooting and Bluescreen analysis. Please remember as independents we are not responsible for the development of Windows or the computer hardware and drivers. If you will work with me I will be here to help until the issue is resolved.

The Windows memory is not very intensive and even strong tests, such as memtest, will not detect all possible errors. 

As outlined below that error most often indicates a hardware issue. Of course, you can't fix hardware with software methods. There probably was a BSOD just that the nature of the crash prevented you from seeing it.

Since the computer is new and still under warranty please contact System Maker's Support and the seller. As OEM they are responsible for the proper operation of both the hardware and Windows. So regardless of the cause, it is theirs to resolve. And the unit is under full warranty and may be in need of repairs or replacement. Added that even if you are able to resolve the issue you would want it fully documented just in case there are related problems down the road. Remember the more you do the more they will say it is something you have done. (If not the system maker then contact the motherboard and various major device makers' supports for diagnostics help and possible RMAs'.)

If you really want to troubleshoot the issue yourself without the system/device makers' support assistance (which I strongly do not recommend) here are the methods some of which you have already tried though I included them below so you can double-check the processes.

A. Are you overclocking anything? If so STOP! OC can not only cause BSOD it can make troubleshooting virtually impossible. 

B. Have you installed any performance or OC software such as MSI Afterburner, AMDRyzenMaster. Intel's Extreme Tuning or Performance Maximizer, or CPU-Z? Some of those and others change system settings during installation which are still in effect even when the program is not running. Even iCUE or other RGB hardware and/or software may be involved. 

C. After both A. & B. reset the BIOS back to the system/motherboard maker's recommendations. 

------- 

D. Be sure the SSD's have the latest firmware from their makers. 

E. Try removing and reseating all cards, memory, and cables (both ends when possible) - actually remove and replace - do not just snug (on a PC) and clean out the dust bunnies and vents. (Of course remove ALL power prior to opening the case.) <-- Please do this as it is the number one cause of the issues you are experiencing (by far). 

F. Try adding a fan blowing on high onto the motherboard's CPU & GPU areas. The point is to increase airflow to maximize heat dissipation. <-- Please do this no matter how much cooling you have now. 

G. Low power, such as a weakened PSU or brown-out or overloaded circuit conditions can cause this issue. Try removing everything on the entire circuit the computer is on except the computer. That is right, the entire circuit and not just that one wall outlet.

This utility makes it easy to see which device driver versions are loaded : 

Run DriverView - set VIEW to Hide Microsoft drivers - update those without Dump in their names (and update BIOS and chipset drivers).

DriverView - Free - utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description, version, product name, company that created the driver, and more.
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/driverview.html

For Drivers check System Maker as fallbacks and Device Maker's which are the most current. Right Click the Start Button - Device Manager - Display Adapter - write down the make and complete model of your video adapter - double click - Driver's tab - write down the version info. Now click Update Driver (this may not do anything as MS is far behind certifying drivers) - then Right Click - Uninstall - REBOOT this will refresh the driver stack.

Repeat that for Network - Network Card (NIC), Wifi, Sound, Mouse, and Keyboard if 3rd party with their own software and drivers and any other major device drivers you have.

Now go to System Maker's site (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (as rollback) and then Device Maker's site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI as examples) and get their latest versions. (Look for BIOS, Chipset, and software updates at System Maker's site while there.)

Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - Right Click - RUN AD ADMIN - 
REBOOT after each installation.

Always check in Device Manager - Drivers tab to be sure the version you are installing actually shows up. This is because some drivers roll back before the latest is installed (sound drivers particularly do this) so install a driver - reboot - check to be sure it is installed and repeat as needed.

Repeat at Device Makers - BTW at Device Makers DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - check manually by model.

Manually look at manufacturer's sites for drivers - and Device Maker's sites.

==================================================== 

Memory tests do not catch all errors such as mismatched memory (possible even for sticks that appear to be identical) and when faster memory is placed in the system behind slower memory. So it is best to also swap sticks in and out to check for those even if all memory tests fail to show a problem.

To test RAM check here - let it run 4+ hours or so - overnight is best.   <-- best method

After doing ALL the updates you can, and if the issue continues, then run Driver Verifier. 

Driver Verifier can help find some BSOD issues :

Please note that consumer-level troubleshooting software rarely specifies a particular piece of hardware so a lot of close observation is required.
