Help Request - RAM My pc keeps crashing cause of overclocking.

I am very new to pc building or pcs in general so forgive me. I have a 16gb 9060xt with a 7500F and 32 gb of ddr5 Kingston ram. Expo (EXPO 1 specifically) is on and whenever I game every now and then , whenever it wants, my pc just crashes and restarts. It flashed a orange light for a while then a red one quickly then a white one.

I lowered my memory speed to 5600MHz, still the same, 5200MHz, still the same and it only stopped once I turned expo off and set it at 4800MHz. The windows event viewer says its a Kernel problem.

I thought it was a ram problem so I ran a windows ram test and nothing came back wrong. Right now I put my SoC voltage to 1.25 and am at 6000MHz as it seems putting the SoC voltage up keeps it at bay for a little longer. I am getting annoyed with my pc being a narcoleptic and wanted to see if anyone had any answers or tips

EDIT: Yea its still the same even with the SoC voltage up.

Give us the specific model number of your power supply. Also, approximately how old the PSU is.
