Hello everyone, my PC has been acting strangely lately. It keeps restarting into BIOS at random times, showing only one RAM stick with a 56GB capacity instead of the expected 8GB per stick. After rebooting, things seem normal, but I’m concerned something might be wrong. I ran Memtest86 on both sticks, and after three hours it reported no issues. I’m thinking the motherboard could be the problem, though I don’t have any evidence. My specs are: ASRock Taichi X370, AMD Ryzen 7 1800X, two 8GB G.Skill F4-3200C14 RAM units (XMP set to Auto), and four SSD drives with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080Ti (12GB). Please advise what might be faulty or what tests you recommend next.

Have you experimented with various RAM modules?

Unfortunately, this isn't feasible at the moment.
