I recently bought a gaming PC and upgraded the RAM to 32GB with Kingston Fury DDR5 6000MT/s CL36. However, since the upgrade, my PC crashes every morning right after I boot it up, then runs fine for the rest of the day. I've also seen some random crashing of applications like Signal and Twitter during the day. The error I'm encountering is a bug check crash with code 0x0000000a. I am not very experienced with computer troubleshooting—I've never had these issues with my previous gaming setup. I've run a memory test with no errors, but I haven't tried updating the BIOS or chipset drivers yet. Any suggestions?

Sometimes a bad connection can cause crashes. Try reseating your RAM and cleaning out any dust while it's out; that could make a difference!
Make sure your RAM is installed in the correct slots. It should be in the two slots marked "1st" for optimal performance. Check this to see if it resolves the issue!
If updating your chipset drivers and BIOS doesn’t help, the RAM upgrade might be faulty. Try testing each RAM stick individually to see if one might be causing the crash. It could help pinpoint the problem!
I updated the drivers, and it seems to be running smoothly right now. I'll keep an eye on it and update if the issue comes back.
Yes, it's in those slots!
