Your computer is experiencing crashes, and the diagnostic report highlights memory issues. You own a mix of DDR4 3200 and DDR4 3000 modules from TridentZ, which should work together if installed correctly. Your motherboard supports these speeds, and your CPU is compatible with the i7 8700K. Double-check that all RAM sticks are seated properly and try reinstalling them to see if that resolves the problem.
DDR4 tends to be selective unless the two kits match perfectly, otherwise it might not function properly. It’s best to purchase memory from a manufacturer that matches your exact requirements in both quantity and speed. Combining different kits often leads to problems. Always test each kit individually—if they work alone but fail together, they’re incompatible. I recommend buying the RAM you need in a 4-module package and keeping the other kits for later use once you have what you want. P.S. Welcome to the forums!
Someone mentioned stability problems with mixing RAM types, though most agree it's acceptable. Combining two completely different kits isn't ideal, but using identical models is better. The amount of RAM being discussed is likely around 16GB, which is more than enough for most tasks. You might also try resetting the CMOS or clearing the memory to reset everything to defaults, avoiding XMP profiles. Just run the stock settings and check if stability improves.
