I've faced some issues with my PC over the past few months. It began with random crashes while playing games, no blue screen appeared, just the system would shut down and restart in a loop, then fail to boot afterward. After troubleshooting, I found that swapping in and out of the RAM resolved the problem consistently. Later, the crashes returned, and I replaced the RAM again, which temporarily fixed it. Eventually, the PC stopped booting entirely, leading me to suspect a faulty RAM. I replaced two new sticks, and for about two months it functioned normally until the problems resurfaced again. The same workaround of checking the RGB lights worked briefly, but nothing else.

It's quite puzzling how the system would suddenly stop working after a change, yet remain stable afterward. Do you have any insight into what might be causing these recurring issues?

Do you receive any beep codes during startup? If not, then take out the RAM and check for a beep code when it powers on.

No need for a beep when the RAM is taken out. It functions identically to when the RAM is present (only RGB lights illuminate).

Without changing the CPU, it becomes a bit harder to pinpoint the issue. It seems like the problem might be with the motherboard or CPU itself. The RAM has been replaced and the same issue persists. If it could POST, you could enter and reset the BIOS, then try a BIOS flash upgrade if one is offered.
