I don't usually assemble computers. I use ready-made units. Recently I added another RAM module. It's from another manufacturer than the previous one—maybe that's why it didn't appear. Need some assistance?

Confirmed the same frequency and timing. Verified the RAM matches the correct DIMM slot on your motherboard.

They are both DDR4. That’s the only information I have.

The second stick had a slot installed for the device.

I'm referring to a ready-made setup.
You're asking about the pre-installed system, the RAM specifications, whether it appears in BIOS or Windows, and how to verify its detection.
