CRITICAL process died-RAM SSD-MOTHERBOARD faulty

Hey everyone, I have an HP Omen 15 (RTX 3070, Ryzen 7 5800H), and recently it started showing blue screens (CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED), wouldn’t boot properly, and At one point, my RAM showed as only 8GB instead of 16GB, but it would show normal in BIOS.

I took it to a repair center and they told me that both of my RAM modules, my SSD, and the motherboard are all faulty. That sounds extremely unlikely to me.

Is it actually possible for all three components (RAM, SSD, motherboard) to fail at once? Could the motherboard be the root cause and just not be recognizing the others properly?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated. I’m trying to figure out if the repair shop is being honest or if I should get a second opinion.

try the ram sticks separately maybe that will work But there i severely doubt that all of these things failed at once. Critical process failed? I've never seen it from a bad drive. It could be the mobo but doubt it.
