I just got some new RAM for my birthday and installed it properly. My PC started working without any problems, and launching games is fine too. After about 5 to 10 minutes, the whole system would freeze—this time it depends on the situation. Other applications run smoothly, allowing me to stay online on platforms like YouTube for hours without interruptions. I’ve tried everything: updated BIOS and chipset, ran Memtest86+, and everything passed. If anyone has suggestions, I’d really appreciate it!

Specs:
- Motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX
- CPU: r5 3600 @ 4.5GHz (all cores)
- RAM: 4 x 8GB Crucial Ballistix 3600MHz
- GPU: ASUS RTX 2070 Super Dual OC 8GB
- Power Supply: Silverstone 650W 80Plus Gold modular
- Storage: Kingston 480GB SSD
- Other: Crucial 500GB P5 M.2 NVMe

It might be a defective stick. Have you attempted just one or two instead of all four? Also, a quick search reveals others experienced similar problems with the same product combination. Speed ratings around 3466 appear to be the most stable.
