Good luck if again failed it's better to rollback with 23H2. Or change to Mint linux.

If in W11 24H2, disable Kernel Isolation, memory integrity and Microsoft blocked driver list.

Just to rule out any software/Windows issues, create a bootable Ubuntu Live USB with steps below and use it for few hours. (This will not change any of your apps/files at all. It doesn't have to be Ubuntu, you can use any other distro.)

Create a bootable USB stick with Rufus on Windows | Ubuntu

Ubuntu is an open source software operating system that runs from the desktop, to the cloud, to all your internet connected things.

Try Ubuntu before you install it | Ubuntu

If it crashes with Ubuntu, then it's a hardware issue.

PS use another windows device to create live USB as your device seems to BSOD every few minutes.

crashing in safe mode..

Then it is a hardware or Windows item. Make an external backup of your system and then install a new Windows. Nothing else then Windows, nothing, to see how it runs.

OP seems to have done a clean install last week. From his previous post:

I did a clean install of current windows last week, but shall try other steps mentioned above... thanks.

I saw that, but it says nothing about what else was installed. And usually we Windows users do install something else, also.

I ran the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool again, and it came up with a hardware fault.. I'm beginning to think that this was a lemon from the get go, as it was erratic from the start from what I can remember.. just wondering whether fitting new mem is a possible/viable option?

Run a stress test on the memory. It is most likely a memory issue if WC said so. WC is very accurate in my experience.

And yes, it is an option.
