Using just two memory sticks could limit your RAM capabilities. XMP support may not work properly with four drives.

However, should this be true, shouldn't it also fail during memtest or when I'm using DX12? I'll attempt your advice and share the outcome here.

It didn't fix the problem, the issue remains. After playing for 5 to 10 minutes, it crashes to the desktop. I don't understand what's happening. Perhaps I should have chosen a different processor.

You might be correct. My system runs a Ryzen 3600X with 32GB RAM across four Corsair Vengeance RGB 3200MHz sticks. Back when I used Windows, I often overclocked my RAM and played Doom without any problems. I also use an MSI Mortar Max B450M motherboard. My friend, who uses an Intel 9900K, has set up a similar setup with overclocked RAM and still runs Doom smoothly.

Have you checked every option? It could be just one faulty item.

Consider testing 2933mhz first, or try each stick individually. It might be a hardware issue rather than a CPU problem. Have you installed any new BIOS or chipset updates? Recent Windows updates are fine, but the RAM type could differ.

I adjusted the voltage via BIOS (1.37), reinstalled Windows, and turned off the game bar. Currently, all four RAM sticks are functioning properly. Fury BEAST is a newer RAM type, so it seems my BIOS settings didn’t account for it by default. Thanks to everyone for their assistance. I’m also willing to hear recommendations on which tools to use for stress testing RAMs.
