So in that case, do you mean I should maintain new kit in separate slots compared to the old one? For example:
slot 1-Old
slot 2-New
slot 3-Old
slot 4-New
or
slot 1-Old
slot 2-Old
slot 3-New
slot 4-New
because I originally had the PC built in the store and picked it up, with the old RAM in slots 2-4. I thought it must be keeping them in separate channels.
Also, I enabled XMP, but I couldn't adjust the memory multiplier from Auto to 2133MHz.

Following the restart and enabling XMP, I tested various games and found none to crash. Everything seems to be working properly so far. As far as I understand, the problem has been fixed. Thank you for your time and assistance!

Hey! that's sounding better already, but I'd still suggest running through MemTest before declaring victory.
I'd also suggest the first choice for memory configuration...so 'old-new-old-new'...as the way to start. But I admit I lack a lot of experience with setting up 4 DIMM's. It's mainly a try it and use what works affair. That's why running MemTest is so important too.

I’m planning to run another test tomorrow, it’s getting late again now. I’ll check the outcome and see what happens. The configuration is New-Old-New-Old, and I think the XMP is handling things properly. I missed testing it initially, but so far I’m noticing progress.
