Hey! So you’ve got a pretty old PC with a good setup already—Ryzen 7, ASRock motherboard, MSI storage, and a solid power supply. You’re trying to add more RAM, but it’s acting weird. You said the CPU and two sticks of RAM work fine, but adding a third causes the whole thing to freeze or stop. That sounds like a big issue.

Since you’re new around here, think about this: your PC has a lot of power and cooling already. Adding more RAM can really stress things out if it’s not compatible with your system. Maybe the RAM sticks aren’t the right type for your motherboard model? Or maybe there’s a conflict with the BIOS settings?

Also, check if you’re using the same RAM type (DDR4) and speed (DDR5?) as your current setup. If you’re not sure, it might help to swap in one stick at a time to see what works. And don’t forget—your fans are doing their job, so if they’re spinning, it’s probably just heat issues.

If you want, you can tell me more about the RAM specs and your motherboard model, and I can give you a clearer idea. Just keep an eye on temperatures and power usage while testing!
