Issues after installing RAM
Issues after installing RAM
I bought a bit of a unique setup here. The G-Skill Trident Neo DDR4 32GB with 3200MHz RAM worked well after replacing my old unit. For the first few hours, everything ran smoothly. But after about two to three hours, games would crash unexpectedly—though I thought it was just a game issue. Then I encountered a blue screen. I stayed calm and let the system handle it. After rebooting, it loaded properly but later displayed another blue screen before restarting again with five beeps. I checked by removing the RAM and reinstalling it, which fixed the problem. Now it’s functioning correctly, though some components still seem to be faulty. I have the CTF loader and Windows performance checker showing intermittent issues in Task Manager. Is this a sign that the G-Skill RAM is defective, or did I miss something before installing it?
Both RAM kits are rated at 3200MHz and compatible with my motherboard. The G-Skill model has 32GB, while the other is 16GB. My motherboard is an ASRock B450M Pro4.

I ran a test earlier to check for RAM issues. One stick caused the PC to beep, while the other worked and it booted up. After replacing the old RAM, the system became very unstable—very choppy. I restarted it and received five beeps followed by one beep. I’m not sure what’s going on.
