I should also add to this for the record, that my mistake here was that when I bought the system, I checked to see that Ryzen 7 1700 supports ECC RAM, but that I was unaware that the motherboard also needed to support it in order for ECC to work.
Someone in a sibling comment pointed me to some links and gave me some info about some UEFI settings to try along with some kernel boot arguments and I've applied these. Hopefully it will be enough to take care of the issue, or at least to improve the stability a bit. But if the system continues to be unstable then I will probably try and save up a bit of money to replace the RAM that I have with non-ECC RAM instead, or alternatively that I save up money for a new motherboard which supports both ECC RAM and my current CPU as well as being able to host a newer generation of Ryzen CPU that I can then buy further into the future.
Also, I went to an electronics store today after reading your comment and bought a new SATA cable that I now use instead of the one that I had.
