It operates using one 4GB stick at 2133MHz DDR4 SkyHunter, but I recently swapped in a 4GB stick at 2400MHz DDR4 SkyHunter. Now my motherboard loops endlessly when I install either stick alone or with the other RAM. This is frustrating and really bothers me. The Discord community isn’t helpful either. This issue is super important and needs fixing!

Are all your memory modules installed correctly? If yes, the second one might be faulty. You don’t need identical specs—upgrading to 12GBs is even better. Of course, avoid running at maximum speeds. Would you rather go straight for 16GB or wait? Should I check if your system’s BIOS is current?

The BIOS needs updating. I’m working on it, but I’m not sure the exact steps.

Download the BIOS file from their site, place it on an empty fat32 flash drive, and insert it into the motherboard menu. If you stick to their upgrade instructions, everything should work. Hope all boards included USB BIOS flashing as a built-in option.

Is that all you've got? I've got integrated graphics too—my PSU isn't great, but it works.

The bios contains 90 files, but your motherboard isn't recognizing them despite using a fat32 formatted USB drive.

The file likely needs a new name, as indicated by the website. You can search for "ASRock bios update" to find relevant information.
