You're facing a tough situation with your PC. Here’s what you should consider:

- Your system is running an older motherboard (around 2.5 years old) and has mixed reviews online.
- You’re using a 450W PSU and a cooler master, which is decent but may need upgrading depending on load.
- The RAM issue is clear—one stick at 3000MHz and another at 3200MHz. Make sure both are compatible with your motherboard and BIOS.
- The gaming performance drops after just a few minutes of play, especially during matches. This suggests a bottleneck or thermal throttling.
- Check your power supply stability—fluctuations can cause crashes.
- Consider testing the RAM sticks individually to confirm compatibility and speed.
- If possible, look up your motherboard model online for BIOS updates or compatibility notes.
- Upgrade cooling if temperatures stay high during intensive tasks.

You’re in a competitive gaming situation, so even small improvements can make a big difference. Let me know if you want help checking your motherboard specs or finding compatible RAM.

Try using just one RAM stick; if it fails, switch to the other. How does the system stop working? A sudden black screen with no power might mean you need a new PSU. Also, keep in mind that volunteers, we won’t rush to assist. We’re only helping because we want to. Just putting SOS in the title doesn’t match what you expected.

Verify the memory speed. It needs to align with both modules and ideally match the slower rate (3000). Replacing RAM and the GPU might also improve performance.

Focus on dual channel setup with matching RAM. If using two different sticks, it seems like a problem. Try running on one stick only to check. The PSU might also be underpowered, which could contribute to the issue.
