For those facing a comparable issue or situation in the future, I went with a Kingston Fury Renegade 3600Mhz 32GB system. I enabled the 2nd (3600Mhz) XMP Profile, and the PC has remained stable for over a month. The previous mismatched RAM is now retired.

Great, happy to help. Your older RAM sticks are likely the reason for the issue. Please stick with your approach.
