I increased my RAM capacity to 32 gigabytes from 16, using a DDR4 3200. My previous setup was a G skill kit, now I have a Gammix kit, both maintaining the same speed of 3200. Everything functions properly except for frequent crashes in games—roughly once per hour. The two titles I’m experiencing issues with are League of Legends and Natural Selection 2. Minecraft, along with my upgraded server, all operate without problems. Only those two games and possibly others remain untested. I raised the voltage on the DDR4 to 1.45 volts from 1.36, but crashes persist in League of Legends.

Sorry, but it's unclear whether you've upgraded to 4x8 or 2x16. It seems your message doesn't specify if you're using both kits or just the new Gammix kit. Either way, the timing might be off. Check the Computer Management for any WHEA errors.

Check the dimensions by multiplying 4 by 8.

They likely use DRAM that doesn't match at 3200 MHz. Running it at 2666 MHz might improve stability. CPU-Z can reveal the DRAM brand.

Navigate to Start Menu → Computer Management → Event Viewer → expand Warnings section and locate WHEA. Also review the Error section for any kernel errors, as the message could be helpful.

Consider alternative steps: delete the new RAM, log in, execute ZenTimings, capture a screenshot, then power down and install the updated unit before running ZenTimings once more to observe timing adjustments. Return to the BIOS and adopt the slower timings from either option. Do you notice two DOCP profiles in your BIOS? Which one is active?
