He upgraded his RAM from 16 to 32GB, but soon faced memory issues and crashes during startup. Games froze and audio sounded muffled. I quickly reinstalled Windows, but the problem persisted and worsened. I’m considering a BIOS reset or update, though I’m not sure it’s the best solution. Anyone with similar experiences would be helpful.

The old RAM gets repurposed for another function, typically in a less demanding system or device.

It's nighttime now, but we'll attempt it tomorrow. It might be a defective RAM module.

Which size is better—2x16 or 4x8? The system details will be very useful.
