I’m going to give it a shot. I’ve never tried this before, but I’m curious—will my data and apps stay secure after updating the BIOS? @Mr. Slavic
Check if the system functioned correctly right after the RAM upgrade and after installing the new boot drive.
I have a contact who runs a tiny computer repair business close by, so I’ll give him a call. I also wish there are no hardware issues, particularly with the GPU, but I suspect it might be playing a role too—maybe the RAM is affecting things as well since I purchased both separately.
I upgraded to an AIO, was it included with pre-applied thermal paste? Did you forget to take off the plastic cover before putting it in? Another possibility is a RAM incompatibility—take out the new stick and test; if that doesn’t help, examine your thermal paste on the new cooler. Those are the key areas to investigate first.
I attempted to replace the non-original RAM stick, and now everything works perfectly again. I missed the chance to fix it earlier, which caused me a lot of frustration. I’m really embarrassed and would have preferred a different approach. Next time, I’ll go with a larger 2x8GB Corsair pack instead. Thanks for your support!
