The new RAM isn't functioning properly.
You're considering a RAM upgrade but running into performance hiccups. Your current setup includes a 32GB 3600MHz system with a motherboard that supports up to 3200MHz. After moving to a new build, you upgraded to 3600MHz RAM but encountered issues where the system stalls at around 2133MHz. You've experimented with different frequencies and found that changing the RAM speed to 3600 helped on your old machine, but now you're facing boot loops and crashes when launching Windows. It seems like there might be a mismatch between your motherboard's capabilities and the RAM configuration. I'd recommend double-checking your motherboard's specifications and ensuring the RAM is compatible with both your CPU and motherboard. If needed, consider consulting a professional for further troubleshooting.
