Your PC has faced several problems recently, with the most notable being inconsistent RAM performance. Having two RAM slots helps, but using one slot at a time still causes issues—like freezing or random restarts. Recently, games crash when closing them, and the system freezes completely when I open it. I’m wondering if these problems stem from my power supply unit or if another component is involved. I also ran a BIOS update, though I’m pretty sure it didn’t fix anything.
There might be an issue with the PSU, but it seems quite limited. From my experience, a faulty RAM stick is more common. I faced a similar problem where my boot drive failed (sabrent rocket drive). The best way to verify this is by swapping components, like using another RAM stick. Do you have two sticks or just one? Make sure it fits properly in the right slot. It might seem simple, but it’s important. Often, it boots in B1 but remains unstable due to current CPU configurations. Always fill A1 first (usually farthest from the CPU socket on dual DIMM boards), and the third slot from the end on 4 DIMM boards.
