It's popping in and it's a feature from the game. Probably because of the GPU upgrade, some settings have been reset. Regarding what you're saying: 12GB of VRAM works well for 1440p gaming now and should still be fine for a while. 4K will reach the limit with complex textures. Your RAM setup is three sticks at 2400MHz? That's reducing performance by about 10-15% compared to a 3200MHz CL16 rig. Still nothing major to stress over unless you're okay with the speed. Plus, if the GPU is already at full capacity in games, more RAM won't help much :p

I've already secured those two slots correctly—second and fourth. However, any adjustment to the RAM, even a slight change in voltage, causes the system to fail. Perhaps upgrading to 2x16GB RAM on A2 B2 would help. I can't turn off RAM via BIOS; it needs to be removed physically. I’ll have to detach it from the cooler, which is located in the middle.

Consider buying a brand new DDR4 RAM package with 32GB. Use just two slots to ensure dual-channel operation. Mismatched kits and full slots reduce performance. A 3200MHz setting works best for DDR4. I’ve attached an affordable kit below. Make sure your motherboards support XMP in the BIOS when you buy it.

this version isn't working because of the RAM already installed. The main concern is that your laptop has more RAM than the stick you're using, which could cause issues.

Just purchase fresh RAM—it's that easy. Your RAM isn't old; it's just mismatched, which is the issue. Don't forget to highlight this answer as the solution, thanks! Welcome.

It's not just the frames that might cause issues—textures can also affect RAM stability. I might purchase two 16GB modules, but I won't be comfortable applying thermal paste myself. I'll have to bring my PC to a repair shop when I have time.

Back then, using four RAM sticks meant single-channel performance. Today you can run smoothly with four in dual-channel. It would be wise for him to merge into two sticks while keeping the same capacity, making it easier to upgrade later to 64GB if necessary.

I'm using double dual now, but a 2x16GB setup would still be preferable to avoid compatibility issues. It's unclear if these PC problems stem from this change, so I should bring it to the shop—there might be a cooling issue blocking performance.

Yes, the MSI Pro B660A is designed for a daisy chain configuration.

Sorry to wait so long. The shop offered me a Kingston Fury with the same engine size and speeds but without RGB lighting. Is that still acceptable?
