BSODs repeat - Passes BurnInTest, MemTest. Bad graphics card?

Hello again /r/techsupport! I'm hoping I can find an answer to my continuing problems.

This is an update to my [previous post](https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/bzgdh6/daily_bsods_on_a_new_build_graphics_ram_or_m2/), where the BSODs aren't stopping.

I have reformatted the computer with a fresh Win10 USB boot drive. Just before the first reboot on the OS install, a blue screen appeared, which forced me to hard reboot. The installation continued as normal.

I have thrown up my hands in frustration and just installed Snappy Driver Installer to confirm if there were any drivers I missed. Some were, and were installed.

I have updated every driver, hardware and Windows component I can to the latest versions. Mobo, graphics, USB, M.2 SSD, all of it.

When the computer goes to sleep, attempting to wake it makes it sound like it's coming back to the desktop, where the fans spin up and the keyboard lights up, but the single time it did actually come back to the login screen and desktop it almost immediately blue screened with a Faulty Hardware Corrupted Page error. Every other time requires a reboot to get to the desktop. Other BSODs seen include

System Service Exception

Memory Management

I've run BurnInTest, no errors. I've run Memtest86, with no errors on four passes.

I've seen news of RTX cards going bad but this was months ago. Is it possible that not only is this all down to the graphics card, it's from this bad batch of RTX cards?

I'm new to the PC gaming scene these days so this is all pretty frustrating. I'd love one day where my brand new machine didn't blue screen. To confirm, this is a bone stock installation. Nothing special in the way of overclocks or anything like that.

Thanks for the help!
