it restarts unexpectedly while playing (vermintide and similar games like FC24), I initially assumed it was a power supply issue. I ran two stress tests (furmark and prime 95) under maximum load, but it didn't restart, which ruled out a PSU problem. Then I moved my RAM sticks around and found that both boot when placed in slot #2, though inconsistently—sometimes they worked and sometimes they didn’t. In other slots, the PC wouldn’t boot with either stick. When I first put them in slots #2 and 4, one didn’t recognize any of the sticks at all. Now it does recognize both. So I’m confused about what’s wrong. One friend thinks it’s a CPU issue.

Have you experimented with a single RAM stick? Consider testing both options (if you have the time or energy).

I've tested each stick individually in every slot, and the PC starts up only when either stick is placed in slot #2.

Have you got any extra parts available for testing?

Play FIFA using only one controller. Disregard reduced frame rate, ensure consistent performance.

You had both connectors before, and everything worked properly, but currently it only starts with one of them.
