Rebuilt PC WHEA Error 18

Question

Hi, I've tried so much to get my PC to stop crashing but it still happens. I'm beginning to think it's a hardware issue but want to rule out everything else first.

I've tried:

Updating BIOS
Fresh Windows Installation
Reseating Components
Running Memtest
Checking Cables for flush connections

It isn't overheating either, my previous build was

Ryzen 5 5600x
3200mhz DDR4 Ram 16GB
AMD Radeon RX580 4GB
650W PSU
MAG B550 Tomahawk AM4
Samsung EVO NvME SSD 1TB

Moved to a new case with

Same:
Ryzen 5 5600x
RAM
Motherboard
Storage

New:
Sapphire AMD 7800xt 16GB
Corsair RMe 850W PSU

Answer 1

Also some info about when it happens,

It only seems to be happening when I'm playing certain games,
it's happened mostly while trying to play Helldivers 2 and occasionally happens playing other games like Crusader Kings 3, Palworld, and one time playing Lethal Company I think.

Answer 2

Immediately followed by
Event 7000, Service Control Manager
The AMDRyzenMasterDriverV22 service failed to start due to the following error:

This second error was not happening until the fresh windows install AFTER the first fresh install post-rebuild.

Once again, any tips or help understanding these errors and my constant crashing while gaming would be super helpful.
