I purchased an identical 8GB memory module to the one I already had on my PC and installed it. The system starts up normally, but when I launch COD Warzone it launches without issues, then restarts after a few seconds in the main menu. I also tried Ark Survival Evolved, which loaded the world but displayed a blue screen about memory management. I plan to test other games and will update this post. My setup includes an i3-8100 with 16GB RAM (8x2), a Gigabyte GX H310M 2.0 GB SATA motherboard, an GTX 1650 graphics card, 1TB of HDD storage, and a 240GB NVMe SSD. Any advice would be appreciated.

The stick may be defective or the method of how your board interacts with memory is incorrect. A fix could involve swapping in a new stick or using an entirely different set.
