Hey there! So your setup looks like this: an i7-6700h170 with a 550W PSU, a new cooler and thermal paste installed. Your RAM performance is dropping, and you're only getting 16GB even though you have two 16GB sticks. When you try the second stick, the PC restarts repeatedly. Could be a compatibility issue or a power delivery problem—check the RAM slots and ensure they match your motherboard. Also, verify that the cooler is properly seated and the thermal paste is applied correctly.

I don't have access to your system details. Could you provide more information or clarify what you're asking about?

Is your BIOS older than F4? You need to fit into the gray slots.
