Previously, I assembled a new setup and borrowed 8GB of RAM from a friend for a short period. He had two of his fourGB sticks. After I returned the RAM, he claimed it was damaging his computer and that I’d somehow broken his RAM. He mentioned trying everything to fix the issue, but I’m not convinced. RAM failures don’t usually cause such problems. Could anyone explain what might be causing this crash? It seems to happen occasionally during normal use, though it sometimes occurs when launching games or opening the MSC. If you need more details, feel free to ask—I can request my friend’s specs. Thanks ahead for your help!

He replaced the RAM module. Is there an easy debug indicator?

The RAM might have experienced an ESD shock, which could lead to crashes. Alternatively, it could be due to a recent Windows update or another software change causing the issue.

He moved it several times again, and I don’t believe that’s the case.

The RAM appears to be okay; it’s probably not ESD-related. It might be due to a Windows issue—what actions should be taken? Reinstalling Windows could help resolve the problem.

Well he isn't the one who is here asking for advice, so not much we can do to help him. As for you, though. It is not your fault that he is having problems and you should not feel obligated to help him fix it. As far as any of us know, his problems have nothing to do with the RAM.

Discuss the process of going back to an earlier version of Windows 10 on the official Microsoft forum.
