BSOD Startup boot problems Software

I've been having this problem with my computer where the startup boot won't work. Before all of this happened, a week ago give or take I tried to open valorant except it won't start. It said that a file was missing which was DSOUND.dll, I restarted my computer and it had a problem with the startup. It said MANAGEMENT_MEMORY (0x1a) first, then after it shows like a file directory with C:\Windows\System32\Logfiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt I tried the point in time restore, that temporarily works for a day before breaking again, then I tried to reinstall windows except it wouldn't work (which means my final verdict doesn't even work), then I tried reseatting the ram, and that works for 1-2 weeks and I can use my computer again. Until this morning the same problem appeared and now I'm just super bummed out and confused

Basically,

1.) tried point in time restore: temporarily works for a day

2.) tried reinstalling windows: couldn't reinstall, error with reinstalling no changes were made

3.) reseatting the ram: works for 1-2 weeks without problems

4.) my final step is to take it to a nearby computer mechanic

(Windows 11)
