When starting up the PC (pre built bought less than a month ago, Windows 11), there is a blue screen with a message saying 'memory management'. Also we get a couple of other messages... one that mentions 'kernel mode heap corruption' and another that mentions 'critical process died'.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Return it, sounds like a hardware/motherboard/memory fault.

It could be a loose memory card.

Maybe this

"Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) appearing after installing the KB5055523 April update or the KB5053656 March preview update"

https://windowsforum.com/threads/fix-windows-11-24h2-secure_kernel_error-0x18b-bsod-after-kb-updates.360999/

It is fixed in the latest update KB5055627 but you may need to do some research on how to fix in the meantime.
