Hi, over the last three months I've faced some difficulties starting up my system with 32GB of RAM. Initially, everything worked smoothly—editing, gaming, and daily tasks ran without issues. But one day I encountered a blue screen with the error "IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL." When I try to install each stick separately in its slot, the system boots fine. However, using all four at once causes problems. I've tried resetting CMOS, reinstalling BIOS, and changing profiles, but nothing seems to work. My motherboard uses an 8700k processor and an ASUS Z370-A PRIME. Anyone else had a similar issue? Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I'm becoming quite frustrated. Thank you!

The calculation shows 4x8 equals 32GB. Thank you for the correction.

Check for a faulty RAM module or a damaged slot. Use a pencil eraser to clean the RAM pins.

Checked the web for a possible driver problem and discovered an article with several fixes that might help.

Ensure your system is up and running before the storm arrives (the new archives event).

Great! You're all set with 16GB, but your remaining space is still empty. Just working on that. Thanks!

I'm experiencing the same problem too. I have identical RAM and CPU. Have you discovered anything unusual about this?

Additionally, memory exercises using four sticks result in inaccuracies. I haven't used one with only the two sticks before.
