Multiple crashes after hardware upgrade

Hi there, just upgraded from i5 9600k to i7 12700k (including motherboard upgrades) since upgrading I’ve had no end of crashes with irql not equal or less and system thread exception not handled. I have followed numerous guides of running scans to fix the issue with no success. I have also updated all my drivers. The only idea I have of what’s causing the issue is that I’m using an insider Version of win11, wish I had never signed up!

    Updating the motherboard BIOS and chipset drivers can solve the problem.
