Hello Guys, I've been having some crashes during startup (SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION). I checked my BIOS settings and realized I had mixed RAM sticks—two Corsair Vengange LPX 3200Mhz and two Hynix. All were bought from Amazon at the same time. Could this cause issues? My system worked well for about six months. Looking forward to your advice. Stocksn

Ensure each matched pair stays within the same channel. Maintain identical chip types in the same channel, at least as a strict requirement.

Use the slowest RAM first and place them in your main slots. Add the other set of RAM. Wipe the CMOS, then start it up to check the results. If it fails, reverse the order and repeat the CMOS wipe. If it still doesn’t work, it’s likely not possible.
