Have you checked for a memtest to rule out faulty RAM? A BIOS update might also help. Both could be worth trying. It’s definitely worth a look, though it seems like this problem is pretty unusual. I’d probably get frustrated if it didn’t work either.

Hi, I tried the BIOS update again but it didn't change anything like MemTest did. Will give it another shot. Thanks for your reply.

Hello. It might be that your system isn't accepting the RAM. You can test another device or brand to check if the problem persists.

I plan to run the memtest this evening after work. It means I need to replace my current device again.

Test the original RAM alongside the second one you purchased to determine if the first RAM was defective.

Hey everyone, I just fixed the issue—it wasn’t the RAM problem but some bloatware from Dell. Around the time I added more RAM, things got messy. After running Dell updates, they installed several of their software. When I uninstalled them all, everything ran smoothly and I played for a few hours without any stuttering. I’m surprised I didn’t check sooner and keep changing my RAM settings. Thanks for your help! Cheers.
